Thank you Heather - you’re valuable insights help keep me sane in this insanity and I’m in the UK so can’t begin to fathom how much you’re helping your fellow Americans 🙏
As an American, and one whose family is poor, reliant on the govt programs they're canceling just to survive... HCR is my beacon in the night. It's her calm, clear and knowledgeable posts that I rely on every day when it feels like I'm living though hell.
She’s one of the authority’s I look for every day - there is always a light to turn to - and I truly hope all will be well eventually - in the meantime take care of yourself 🤗
As always TY for your incredible dedication! I do have to take issue with your use of the word deported when talking abt the situation w/ the Venezuelans. That doesn’t do justice to the gravity of the situation. They were kidnapped & disappeared into a foreign prison. This is far beyond deportation
As a 74 year old it is hard to watch this Agent Orange insanity, growing daily from the oval office. How much will it take before this Extremist Right Wing Congress gets off its ass and does something to stop the dictator? They're trying to destroy our constitution & privatize every legislated org.
Since they have actively worked toward this moment and supported the actions taken, why would they? It's like expecting the arsonist to help you put out the fire.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social I have a question concerning the wording that I see about Donald Trump vs the United States “establishing that a president cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his official duties…” when this first came out as a ruling, I thought it meant (cont)
something different. How can a crime be part of his official duties? Aren’t official duties based on the constitution for a president? So if he he’s only doing what is based on the constitution, he didn’t commit a crime. And if he did something not based on the constitution, he is not protected.
What he’s doing is illegal, it’s unconstitutional, and it is downright cruel.
He knows, but doesn’t care, that everybody has a right to be seen by a judge before they heads are shaved. They’re bound and sent off to a foreign country and a foreign countries prison!
How do they know if they’re gangbangers or not? Were they representing with their colors? I’m gonna bet their young men who came here to make a better life for their families back home. At least the vast majority of them innocent because the majority people are not evil.
Cusp was January 6. Cusp was Butler PA days before the maxi-pad convention. Cusp was all 7 swing states, multiple voter purges, suppressions and bomb threats w/no meaningful investigation afterward. Cusp was pardoning the J6 Brownshirts.
We are not “on the cusp.”
We are not “close to” or “about to experience.”
Just say it already. You are crying wolf and conditioning Americans to believe it will never actually happen.
We are in the middle of a coup. Either say that now. Or just join the rest of the fascists.
Time to deport the true enemies of America. tRump and all his republican traitors. Deport them to Guantanamo Bay, where they can be monitored and never escape.
Judge: Your lawyer will prepare a statement regarding the "I was only following orders" defense. It will include references to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the Nuremberg Trials, and the Tokyo War Crimes Trial.
You will read it in court.
Can we go ahead & add Vance to the impeachment & removal of Trump since he is complicit with Trump's & Musk's treason, & go ahead & have that done already & be moving forward to trying them for treason, pretty please?
I can’t help but wonder if you’re the one who could oust Susan Collins, with a little help from patriotic Mainers. The thought of you being a Senator really makes me feel good.
Do you believe, as some scholars do, that it’s not a “constitutional crisis “ unless and until the president OPENLY defies a court order. If it’s clearly defiance, but he doesn’t say so, he gaslights, does that not rise to a constitutional crisis?
As with anything that adversely affects US American Citizens, the Got Ours Party doesn't care what happens to you and your family... Until it happens to their family. By then it's too late.
I cannot believe how many people in positions of power and influence are totally fine with this administration wiping it's butt with the U.S. constitution.
Another excellent essay!!!! I have long believed that what Trumpophiles really want at the end of this all is to be permitted to lynch anyone they hate!!
Convince Congress that Trump & Vance are ruining the reputation of the Republican party by being lying nazis & traitorous idiots, & that they are running out of time to get a Republican in The White House this term when they are inevitably impeached, removed, & tried with Musk for their treason...
We are a lawless country and have been for a while.We elected a felon, we saw 1/6 and said it was a peaceful tourist visit then pardoned all involved,we saw classified documents in an unsecured bathroom said its ok and we heard a president ask to find votes.It started with the escalator descent.
Who is this "we"? Because it certainly doesn't include me or the other 60% of us who condemn his actions and those of his lemmings.
There is way too much nuance to why this happened to boil it down like that. It's hard to maintain L&O when someone sets a bomb off on your central support pillar.
You are right of course! We is not me also I would never ever support Trump but not enough was done to stop him. The truth is there is enough blame to go around for the situation our government is in now
Thank you for telling it like it is. Facts are often painful to hear and no easier to say. But without them there is no truth or viable solution. And the fact is at this point we (as in, we the people) are the only solution.
It is the craziest, scariest thing that I have ever seen, what is be done. Crazier is who agrees with what he and his mob are doing. The judge’s are the only ones who can stop this, They have to rise up and let the law conquer these extremists.
As a 72 yo person with Jersey & Maui roots, who has traveled overseas, the well known arrogance of Yanks leaves me feeling disgusted. I am not that person. So maybe this rapid spiral into fascism that is dismantling the US democracy is just the putrid medicine we need to wake up and grow up?!
I can see why you might take my post that way. I was high “in my feelings”… of course that’s not what I am saying. It’s just after raising 4 children my lived experience is after all attempts at guidance a parent has to accept that sometimes the best teacher is failure. Especially epic failures.
Ah, so you see everyone that will die during the complete dismantling of this as inevitable collateral damage. Gotcha.
Well, I hope there's enough people left to "wake up" and rebuild after most of us die from measles, hunger, rotten food, toxic water, TB, cancer, torture...
As I said in my previous post: I was high “in my feelings” when making the post. Ofcourse that’s not what I am saying. It’s just after raising 4 children my lived experience is after all attempts at guidance a parent has to accept that sometimes the best teacher is failure. Especially epic failures.
Even epic failures that cost your kids' lives? Because that's the kind of epic failure we're dealing with, and if we allow it to take hold, it will be generations before it can be fixed. Look at other dictatorships and how long they suffered. This is far worse than a broken arm for a lot of people.
The only reason Roberts squawked about anything is because he finally realized the lawless, treasonous monster he so fervently enabled can easily turn on him now that he has everything he needs to be dictator, break the government and rob people blind. Thank you as always for sharing your expertise.
Maybe old news, but when they didn't have the court ordered answers by 12 noon. Judge B gave them another day....
There should have been consequences, not an extra day....
Can anyone stand up for the rule of law?
How will @pbs respond when DOGE shows up with armed LE to take over @pbs hq & studios? Because that’s certainly coming.
Also, what is this photo? Who are the people waiting in line w/bags of belongings? When, where?
Today would be a good day for the SCOTUS to remember that as easy as they granted Presidential immunity, they can also take away Presidential Immunity.
He wasn't in office anymore, he was a citizen when he was stealing documents, sleeping with porn stars, inviting an insurrection and all the others...
SCOTUS clearly did not get that ruling correct.
I reread and reread and reread that paragraph you told us to reread in this post when I first saw it. I walked away, came back, and reread it again. Then tonight, reread it twice more........I still can't wrap my head around it. That this is what we're living through.
Heather, I just want to thank you for staying up late so often to write these letters. They've always been the way I start my morning (not counting making the coffee) and now that I am traveling in Greece, they still come in at coffee time 😎
Granted, Athanasius' version, obviously "the religion of the antichrist," is far worse, but we would not have that had satan SamæL not sewn those "seeds" of betraying GOD & all CREATION when he was in Ye'Shua's body.
& In that body, satan SamæL honestly admitted he is "less than The Father."
What’s surprising (or not) is that the more 47 ignores the courts or governs by EO, the more irrelevant congress becomes. Doesn’t any of our elected officials in DC recognize that their acquiescence will eventually make them obsolete?

Note: "crisis" is originally an ancient Greek medical term for the point at which a patient either begins to recover, or begins to die.
Cusp was January 6. Cusp was Butler PA days before the maxi-pad convention. Cusp was all 7 swing states, multiple voter purges, suppressions and bomb threats w/no meaningful investigation afterward. Cusp was pardoning the J6 Brownshirts.
This is sheer Gleichshaltung.

If it pleases the Court,
IT'S TIME TO STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH THESE TREASONOUS BASTARDS.
MAKE THEM COMPLY IMMEDIATELY
BY ANY AND ALL MEANS AT YOUR DISPOSAL
AND ANY THING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF.
I'VE GOT SOME IDEAS OF MY OWN. HIT ME UP!

Come on, man. We are there.
But as long as a large percentage of people are still tuning it out, we have much less leverage.
Friday night we might see martial law, the courts and Congress suspended. At least the courts, Congress has been fuckle chuck's lapdog so far.
[The next day] Pilot, who is in charge of the airplane?
Pilot: I was your honor.
Judge: Thirty days in jail for contempt of court.
Your pilot's license is suspended for two years.
Pilot: But, Your Honor, I was ordered...
🧵1 of 2
Judge: Have the person who ordered you, as well as your direct supervisor, in court tomorrow.
🧵2 of 2
Judge: Your lawyer will prepare a statement regarding the "I was only following orders" defense. It will include references to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the Nuremberg Trials, and the Tokyo War Crimes Trial.
You will read it in court.
Check this guy out.
Interesting theories based on his experience with Elron Fusk.
Big media interview coming soon.
“Never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.”
I can’t help but wonder if you’re the one who could oust Susan Collins, with a little help from patriotic Mainers. The thought of you being a Senator really makes me feel good.

He ignores that the gardener is being sent to at least a year's hard labor in a notoriously bad Salvadoran prison.
That's MAGA, in a nutshell.
1 - You are idiots.
2 - Money is your god.
3 - You are racists.
4 - You are gullible.
5 - When given power, you become a Donald Trump.
And you firmly believe in mythologies, i.e., religions...
“Oh my god, maybe he didn’t do it the right way.’”
-Greg Gutfield on “The Five” on Fox
“Not doing it the right way” translates to “doing it illegally.”
Where do they find all these lackeys and sycophants?

SCOTUS clearly did not get that ruling correct.
Now "his" religion is demanding worship & pulling the strings in most countries instead of encouraging actually worshiping GOD.
"Jesus" was possessed of satan SamæL, archangel of ego & DEATH, obviously.
Why else do you think Christy-Anti works for Trump??
& In that body, satan SamæL honestly admitted he is "less than The Father."
