Do California’s prosecutors have the authority to criminally charge federal officials with interfering with civil rights? www.chandralaw.com/faqs/do-cali...

Outrageous injustice. No one is safe from these jack-booted, civil-right violating thugs entrusted with badges and guns.

VIDEO: I had the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division's casting aside of evidence against many police departments and abandonment of its enforcement responsibilities and consent decrees. www.wkyc.com/article/news...

Do Ohio’s prosecutors, both county and municipal, have the authority to criminally charge federal officials with interfering with civil rights? The answer might surprise you. www.chandralaw.com/faqs/do-ohio...

The statute of limitations on this corruption will not be over by the beginning of the next administration. But the next administration will have to move fast to investigate. Not on Merrick Garland time.

Yes.

They are the worst people imaginable.

Does anyone seriously believe that the Supreme Court majority’s authorization of this presidential power grab will still apply when we have a Democratic president? It didn’t when FDR was president. The contempt for controlling precedent is an abuse of judicial power. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Fantastic, @kategacewalton.bsky.social. kategace.substack.com/p/ive-always...

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from dismantling the Department of Education and ordered the administration to reinstate employees fired in a mass termination. This can't happen without cnogressional approval, she ruled. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Done. Join me please.

Horrifying and not justifiable under any circumstances.

Correct, with 2 caveats. 1) Courts use the vague “Pickering balancing test“ to weigh your speech interest against the government’s. Sometimes courts arbitrarily pick the gov’t. 2) Having a right doesn’t mean you‘ll be free of retaliation. @chandralaw.bsky.social stands ready to help.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

This is like someone asking me, "What is constipation?" and I then vividly describe an endless fountain of diarrhea.

Congratulations and thank you to the @aclu.org!

ALSO THIS IS THE LITERAL FUCKING OPPOSITE OF HABEAS CORPUS

The pope picks Zelenskyy as the first head of state to receive a private audience.

This is some crazy, crazy sh**!

Leila Atassi raises the appropriate level of alarm about the Ohio General Assembly’s effort to hide law-enforcement records from us—even when there is no need. www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...

#ProudBlue #MomSky This is so disturbing. I don’t even have the words. This was not the Mother’s or family’s wishes. This is because the state considers it an abortion if they let the Mother die. Can thing get anymore dystopian?

And this makes us less safe.

Idiotic, inhumane, and consistent with the conduct of a president who was found liable for sexual assault.

India makes it official: Trump didn't broker India-Pakistan ceasefire m.timesofindia.com/articleshow/...

TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7

New post from me: a free society should not tolerate routine masking and other attempts to conceal identity by ICE agents raiding worksites, stopping cars and arresting protesters. And it's part of a wider Trump administration strategy of pursuing impunity for rights-violating law enforcers.

Literally sickening. And lawless. Undermines rhe credibility of the Court. signalcleveland.org/ohio-supreme...

Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

Generally speaking, @normeisen.bsky.social, split babies are dead…

This is premeditated mass murder.

💯. Criming and emoluments is plain sight, with a feckless and corrupt attorney general.

My first thought when I read this news: “What if President Obama had…”

I will be speaking, and possibly singing. See you at 2 pm in Cleveland’s Lincoln Park in Tremont. thelandcle.org/event/mother...

34 felonies.

According to the AMA, there are over 1 million active physicians in the United States. Trump’s new pick for Surgeon General isn’t one of them. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...

Oops.

How do you show me that you’re racist without telling me that you’re racist.

He was a good person.
