A highly relevant legal analysis about how courts can enforce contempt orders without relying on the executive branch. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Evergreen reminder: Executive orders are not laws. Do not act like or presume what's in them can automatically be done, or can be legally done. And always fight Trumpist/Muskist efforts to carry them out, politically and in the courts. And probably without the help of the Senate Dems, bc they suck

I will never regret transferring from Barnard after my first year. Admin was and is feckless and callous.

I said a few weeks ago that #TeslaTakeDown was a strategic tactic and I am really so happy to see more and more people joining pickets, doing shareholder activism work, etc... Keep going! Also, please continue to ignore pundits and the peanut gallery.

Elon has already chosen the next election he wants to influence: the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, in six weeks. “Very important to vote Republican [in this race] to prevent voter fraud,” he tweeted. The conservative candidate applauded him. Will others mobilize in response? Bolts explain stakes:
