  • The Supreme Court already said these exact Trump comments weren’t racist in the TPS case and that was 6-3. And they seem OK with Trump hating immigrants.

    But no, Alito said. There’s a perfectly nonracial explanation for all of the dog whistles. “None of the cited statements by either the President or the Secretary was overtly racial, and in substance all expressed policy views that could rest on race-neutral justifications.” In other words, the Trump administration hates all types of immigration and wanted to roll back the TPS system as a whole; therefore, it couldn’t have acted racially in its decision. On top of that, the court said that it’s pretty much just a coincidence that the majority of TPS countries are predominantly nonwhite. That’s not the administration’s fault; it’s because “the great majority of countries granted TPS have ranked among the poorest nations of the world, and no European nation falls into that category.” The stability (and therefore superiority) of European nations is evidence to be used against any argument that the Trump administration was unfairly motivated by illegal racial animus.

    They also just announced that the PS3 and Vita Playstation Stores will be shutting down, starting next month in certain regions and everywhere by July 2027. At some point in the future it will be impossible to buy games for your old PS6 because it doesn’t support discs and the Playstation Store doesn’t support the system.
