This is satisfying and heartening. kimberleyjohnson.substack.com/p/video-watc...

For folks who have been asking about WHOM courts will find in contempt, here's the procedure Judge Boasberg will use. Note that none of this depends on the marshals, and the court can discipline attorneys who refuse to comply (and potentially find them in civil contempt).

That's directly contrary to Acting DHS General Counsel Joseph Mazzara's sworn April 15 declaration. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This isn't about red vs blue politics, this is about basic human rights

•••••••BREAKING••••••• U.S. District Judge James Boasberg finds probable cause exists to hold members of the Trump regime in CRIMINAL contempt of court for violating his order to halt their use of the Alien Enemies Act to send nearly 300 immigrants to El Salvador. Using the Alien Enemies Act..

We had to update this story for some reason: www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

A judge just found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt of court. Reminder that the agency responsible for arresting defendants held in contempt, if it comes to that, is...the Marshals Service, which has been acting strange lately. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Riley Gaines tied for fifth in a college swim meet. If zero trans athletes had participated in the meet, she still would have come in fifth.

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social

DOGEbags got into NLRB and created an admin account. Minutes later, the network started getting login attempts from a Russian IP using that exact username and password

That’s a good question. Can a White House official be sued for slander?

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

As we predicted: Joe Kent is planning to use the law enforcement apparatus to imprison Black activists and antifascists as “terrorists,” essentially unleashing the far-right terrorists of the Proud Boys by looking the other way as they get the green light. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This was outstanding reporting, suggesting that the Trump administration chose people to deport to dungeons in El Salvador largely based on a misunderstanding about tattoos and gangs. The great majority of those we are paying El Salvador to brutalize appear to have no connection to gangs.

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

DEAREST UNDOCUMENTED FRIENDS & ANYONE ON WORK / SCHOOL VISAS OR GREEN CARDS -- YOU ARE NOT SAFE! TRUMP'S GESTAPO -- AKA ICE -- IS AFTER YOU!!! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! HERE IS YOU DEPORTATION DEFENSE MANUAL ⬇️ 🙏 @maketheroadny.bsky.social for providing this crucial support and info 🙏

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

"...because when all this nonsense is over — and I swear that one day it will be, at the ballot box or in the streets or by any means necessary, even though I might not live to see it — I want more than just people feeling ashamed of their role in this spree of inhumanity...I want justice."

SCOOP: The USPS Union President has sent out an email to employees warning them of impending privatization concerns after Elon Musk moves to fire 10,000 postal workers. Read the full email here: shero.substack.com/p/privatizat...

BREAKING: The United Mineworkers and United Steelworkers unions are suing the Trump admin over its decision to delay enforcement of a lifesaving new silica rule meant to curb the black lung epidemic in Appalachia. My exclusive for @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social: inthesetimes.com/article/trum...

Proud to be among sixty-nine faculty members at Rutgers Law School who signed on to the Harvard letter (h/t @beidelson.bsky.social) affirming our commitment to the rule of law. And I want to highlight something unique our school is doing that I hope will become a model for other schools.

NC State Supreme Court case is ongoing - Republicans are now attempting to toss out votes of some military and other citizens living overseas who used absentee ballots, not yet clear if this will stand. It's always voter fraud until a Republican wins

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Without the Rule of Law no one is “legally” here. No one.

Steven Miller’s new theory, that a "saboteur," "Democrat" DOJ atty invented the idea that Abrego Garcia was mistakenly removed to CECOT—is false. The error was admitted, on 3/31, by Robert Cerna, an ICE acting field office director: 1/3 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Two US human rights advocates represented by the American Civil Liberties Union on April 11 filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump's decision to impose sanctions on the chief prosecutor of the ICC reut.rs/3XW1nDT

Sort of militant/feral Baghdad Bobism, high velocity bullshit

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means. They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

A crater now stands where the congress center of Sumy State University used to be. According to the latest information, there already are 31 killed, two of them children, and 84 more injured, including 10 children. Rescue works continue.

A very, very good question.

"How MAGA Mainstreamed Fascism Through The Manosphere" MAGA radicalized and influenced an entire generation of young men by weaponizing culture to Trojan Horse their authoritarian politics. This is how we fight back. W/ @ilyseh.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Very fair requests by attorneys for Abrego Garcia⬇️ Needed transparency for all the detainees unlawfully sent to El Salvador torture center. - compel government to produce written documents on agreement with El Salvador - require government officials to appear as witnesses before district court

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

This is basically conceding that the executive branch is sentencing random people to death with no due process or ability to reverse an error

Give me solid reasons why, I'm willing to listen

NEW: The Trump administration has now filed its status report on Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It says that he is alive and being held in CECOT pursuant to the “domestic authority of El Salvador”

So you're ready to cast out Whitmer based on a photo and an outside interpretation of what might have happened. So, burn it all down - no way, we don't have enough time left for harsh purity standards right now

Wrongly designating more than 6000 immigrants as deceased renders them unable to earn a living, you wanna tell me where the lie is?
