This devastating takedown of Trump by @judgeluttig.bsky.social is no ordinary critique. It is a tour-de-force by a conservative titan, the “j’accuse” for our times. Looking forward to joining @symonedsanders.bsky.social to discuss on @msnbc.com at 11:15 PM ET. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.
