Reposted from Josh Marshall

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

i have a feeling they know the scope of the things they can do are limited and what they really want to do is illegal since theyve acknowledged court orders so far. but they know litigation takes a long time, so by the time a court deems it unconstitutional, the damage has already been done

Congress needs to stand up to Trump and stand with EDUCATION! Our children need protection from the Musk Purge!

sebbrover.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It is not just about money.
It is designed to create a population that is dependent on those in power. Throughout history people in power have taken away education because they know they cannot trick people who know better and know how to fight back.

A law is only a law if it is enforced. If not, then it's just a suggestion.
In order to make the Constitution relevant again, we have to arrest all of these offenders. If we citizens have to rise up and do it ourselves...
...so be it.

It is criminal, but if the repugs just sit on their butts, it will take another lawsuit.

My heart is breaking for our beautiful country! If you want to do something but aren't comfortable or close to any protests, please don't buy anything on Wednesdays! Make it a regular thing, every Wednesday! You can show up by not showing up! Women have so much economic power, let's use it together!

4. COUPS DONT CARE
5. ONGOING. FUCKING. COUP.

bookjackie.bsky.social•7 hours ago

We know it’s illegal. So, who is going to enforce the law?

margoforsaints.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Keep writing it. Presidential suggestions and wishes are not law.

We need to connect with the resistance within the FBI. Alt FBI. A counter-coup should be led by their agency.

That's exactly their goal: Close down every Gov department THEY think is waste, i.e. helps working people in any way. So they can cancel the budgets, & take that tax money for themselves. Along with the tariffs money, which is more money hoovered out of working people, for Trump & his oligarchs.

There are a whole bunch of parties ready to sue if he tries that. What a fucking disgusting piece of shit. Two sociopaths in league.

Just as Putin did when he became President.

Here is the problem in reacting to each individual affront. The focus should be on the total incompetence of the demon in the White House and go after that. He's evil but he's also stupid - as are his enablers - and that's our saving grace. We can beat him.

But we can’t arrest him because the Robert’s court gave him carte blanche.
Damn Citizens United and damn Trump v. United States decisions!!

So what are the CTAs for us

beyond calling our Dem reps who have proclaimed the same?

STAND UP!
WE'RE HERE FOR THE RUMBLE.

It's a time of fierce compassion. Be fierce, do an activity everyday. It's self care.

Be the rain, the howling wind, and the mountainous wave. Be the storm. Be the broken record. AND WATCH THE VIDEOS. Pass it on.

This entire administration does not care if it is illegal! Republicans in Congress don't care if it's illegal! Nobody to enforce punishment. Where are insurrectioners when we actually need them??? Oh yeah, so far up Trump's ass that they are spitting more shit out of his mouth.

thedeplorables.bsky.social•6 hours ago

So where is the out cry from the Democrats we elected? I get a lot of emails asking for money though.
