Yes! OH represent

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

This is NOT ok. This is NOT normal. Political speech cannot be met with violence—EVER. Two people have needlessly died. I will not be silenced in calling out the hate. This can NEVER be acceptable. My heart goes out to the Hortman family and my Minnesota colleagues.

Newsom has hit his stride on social media. Ouch!

From New York to Seattle, Americans stood with Los Angeles on June 9. As ICE raids and military crackdowns shook LA, thousands rallied nationwide in defiance. This wasn’t just solidarity—it was a warning: We see what’s happening. We won’t look away. And we won’t back down.

LA: Your voice matters. Trump is trying to provoke chaos by sending 4,000 soldiers onto American soil. Foolish agitators who take advantage of Trump’s chaos will be held accountable. Stay safe. Stay calm. Look out for one another.

"In your last conversation with Trump, what did he say?" @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He never brought up the National Guard. Stone cold liar. Said he did. Stone cold liar. Never did. Didn't even really want to talk about LA."

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

Sign the petition! A huge grassroots effort is underway to get a referendum on the ballot in November to give voters the chance to overturn SB1, the “Ohio Education Destruction” bill.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

America is beginning to mobilize against these horrifying ICE detentions.

... and KIDNAPPING.

This is not okay

Reminder: You are strong and in control.You don’t need anyone or anything to make you feel good. You have mental well-being within you— a space you can access anytime you let go of negative thoughts.

We’re not falling for the propaganda Trump and MAGA Republicans are pushing 🚫

Trump math: $1M dinner + lots of kissing up = 1 pardon + erasing a $4.4M penalty. To Trump, it doesn't matter that Walczak stole millions from the paychecks of nurses and doctors to pay for a yacht. All that matters is how much money his family paid Trump.

Yes!! 🙌

BREAKING: Federal court says Trump exceeded his authority to impose tariffs under IEEPA. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.

BREAKING: Huge victory in California federal court where we & an all star team of cocounsel got a PI stopping Trump's reorganization of the federal government Trump keeps on breaking the law & we @democracydefendersaction.org & our wonderful partners keep on holding him accountable More to come!

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Katherine Clark: "At the end of the day, it is denial of healthcare for women in this country. And at the same time, we have a White House lamenting, 'Why aren't women having children? Maybe we'll give them $5k' ... the American family is put last."

With redactions lifted on the data-sharing agreement, we see that ICE is seeking addresses from the IRS. This information is submitted by taxpayers who trust the IRS to keep it confidential. The potential for unchecked abuse is dangerously high. americanoversight.org/heres-what-t...

Victory! In 2018 & 2022, Michigan voters enshrined two pro-voting amendments in their Constitution. Anti-voting legislators challenged the amendments under the fringe Independent State Legislature Theory.This week the U.S.Supreme Court denied their challenge. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Don't let up. Hold their feet to the fire. (DoJ: I do not mean to literally light feet on fire.)

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Happy #caturday from Calvin all curled up in his favorite spot in the house.

I stood on the House floor today to sound the alarm: HB 113 is a quiet coup. It erases legislative intent, silences agency expertise, and hands power to far-right courts. This is Project 2025 in action, right here in Texas. We must not obey in advance. We must stand in opposition. (1/2) #txlege

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

If you are now or know someone who is a lawyer or prospective lawyer, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has sound words of advice. “Right now, we can’t lose the battles we are facing. We need trained and passionate and committed lawyers to fight this fight.” @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

We all saw this coming, but now it’s official. Late last night, Republicans released their plan to cut Medicaid—the source of health insurance for millions of Americans.

Journaling is a form of therapy and healing—an intentional practice that can shift one’s mindset and elevate one’s level of consciousness with every entry. #journal #journalwithme #healingjourney #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthsupport #personalgrowth

"You get two dolls and some pencils. I get a golden 747 jumbo jet. See? You get more things than I do. When was the last time you said 'Thank you, Mr. President'?"

When something goes against your morals, speak up and push past the fear that keeps you quiet. It only takes one person standing up to inspire others to do the same. Be that person.

TAKE THIS IN… 📌Six ICE cars 📌One dad 📌Two kids left behind crying in a truck Terrorizing families in broad daylight, in a farmworker town, like it’s a cartel raid isn’t law enforcement—it’s a trauma operation. We are a fascist state, and I don’t recognize our country.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

The Trump administration is rushing to bring the first group of white South Africans classified as refugees to the U.S. early next week. Meanwhile, they’re trying to deport other refugees already here. Make it make sense. Oh wait, Elon’s homeland. Got it.

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court. I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.
