It wouldn’t surprise me if Black US citizens lost their citizenship. I wouldn’t be surprised if SCOTUS goes after them. First step, nullify voting rights. Nullify citizenship. Then move them all to warehouses. Deport them.

What happened with this latest SCOTUS decision reminds me once again of Niemoller’s poem, First They Came For. Face it folks, we’re living it real time!
