@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This is our 15th lawsuit since Trump got back into office. We sued the Trump administration saying that he does not have the unilateral authority to impose these tariffs. And we think we're on very, very firm ground." [email protected]

The Supreme Court is taking up Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. May 15 is now the most important court date of the year. If they greenlight this, the 14th Amendment cracks wide open. Citizenship by birth—gone. Next comes who counts as American at all.

A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

Farage and Arron Banks with Trump. Brexit was part of a Russian and far-right campaign to destroy democracy, freedom, and human rights. Farage is a massive threat to the UK. Our votes must burst his fascist bubble. Fight Fascism #Vote4Democracy in the local elections.

Sir Alan Bates urges victims of Post Office scandal to take govt to court over compensation delays. Wronged people browbeaten to accept lower compensation. Some died whilst waiting for compensation. No contribution to compensation from Fujitsu, PO directors, lawyers, auditors.
