Have you seen any news orgs use the words “impeach” or “resign” applied to Trump? Any editorials? As far as we’ve seen Murdoch’s WSJ w/the first indirect use of the word. Will any editorial board call for resignation or impeachment? Where’s the Fourth Estate? Please thread your findings

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Republicans expect us to believe they’re the party of law & order but they won’t comply with a federal judge or SCOTUS? I don’t understand. Explain it to me like I’m a republican.

Wow, the Education Secretary doesn’t understand that Al is, Artificial intelligence, not A1 learning. Our Education System is in trouble under her leadership!!!

So much MAHA

Tell Your Senators: VOTE NO on SAVE Act! Dangerous bill has already passed in the House—now headed to the Senate This isn’t just about one bill—it’s about the direction of our country We’re watching an effort to drag us back 75 years—where only wealthy white men held power Take action today!

We must wake people up. Whatever it takes. Othering immigrants just greases the rails to othering all of us

36,000 PEOPLE SHOWED UP!

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

Listen up class-

This is wild…

I would like to point out that the executive branch claiming the power to mete out life/death sentences seems like a separation of powers issue as well

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

Musk's DOGE goons physically dragged a high-ranking Social Security executive from his desk for not going along with their plan to list more than 6,000 migrants as dead despite being alive. www.thedailybeast.com/doge-goons-p...

Let’s go 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers to insulate themselves from the world they're rapidly destroying. It's why we have to work together because it really is a 0.1% vs the 99.9% situation www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

This killed my health insurance

It’s wild that Trump surrendered to the companies that bribed him but decided to just go ahead and keep fucking over small businesses just for the hell of it.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Any questions? www.rawstory.com/book-censors...

There's a paywall here, but the gist is important: When it comes to dismantling the democratic model, the 2nd Trump term has already moved faster/better than his Hungarian/Polish role models, attacking the same pillars: the judiciary, the media & universities. 1/2 www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

Great showing on James Island in #SouthCarolina today! These are some of my favorite pics but there are a lot more coming! We the people are pissed off and hitting the streets every damn weekend!

I don’t want to alarm anyone, but we apparently invaded Panama?! Hello?!!! 😳

"A growing chorus of evangelical leaders has taken to calling empathy 'sinful,' 'toxic,' and 'satanic.' Right-wing Catholics are going there, too, with VP JD Vance rejecting Jesus's exhortations to love your neighbor and welcome the stranger, drawing a rebuke from the Pope." Jesus would be proud.🙄

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

The Trump administration is now saying they might unite with other countries against China, regarding trade This was LITERALLY the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Obama negotiated in 2016 In 2017, Trump WITHDREW the US from the TPP (!!!) THE STUPIDITY IS OFF THE CHARTS

First, it was them......

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Another WaPo Exclusive. Wow: Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead. A sr exec who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, by @hannahnatanson.bsky.social @reinlwapo.bsky.social @merylkornfield.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Oh. We’re so, so fucked. Beyond fucked. Incredibly fucked.

The GOP bill, a direct product of President Donald Trump’s decade-long obsession with illegal voting, would require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, bar states from counting late-arriving mail ballots, and dramatically infringe on states’ authority to run elections.

Q. "What do we want?!" A: "Badass Democrats!" Q: "When do we want it?" A: "NOW!!!!" #handsOff

America. You're disappointing me. Punk the FUCK up! #HandsOff

I got nothing for Federal Workers. Not that I don't feel for ya'll... I'm just powerless to do anything about it. Except revolt. I can revolt. THAT I know how to do: "revolt". #handsOff #revolt

I don't have a lot of problems with trolls because I'm idiosyncratic AF. I mean... read the previous sentence. I'm idiosyncratic AF. #HandsOff

Everyone thinks they've got some (or, if arrogant, all) of the answers. The non-arrogant ones aren't wrong. #HandsOff
