If only we had someone, a Chief Justice so to speak, who was in precisely the position to stand up for an independent judiciary by publicly refusing the request on behalf of all judicial branch employees. Oh well!

This is a blatant attempt to destabilize the entire US government. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Today Enrique Tario and friends followed Fanone heckling him. Fanone tells Tario he is a traitor.

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

“… unless, of course, the people of Boston know they don’t have to open the door to an immigration warrant, in which case Hell and I will stand around with our dicks in our hand like we did in Chicago and LA.”

I really want there to be a "reply all" email fiasco with the entire federal workforce on the same email, so that any one worker can email everybody. I think that could have a few interesting if not amusing outcomes.

I have probably blocked no less than 20 accounts who post this meaningless garbage. All with large followings in the tens of thousands. I get that some rando said this, but how does this become the main issue, not say, all the current factual unconstitutional dangerous and harmful stuff he is doing?

Sage wisdom from two experienced legal aid attorneys. In any interaction with police or law enforcement, including ICE: “Shut the f*ck up.”

If the Democrats can't counter a pussy-grabbing, dollar-store demagogue from reality TV, how are they gonna counter the billionaire class or the war profiteers? Our entire lives, the fascists run laps and gloat while libs fundraise off it only to collab with them while in power. We need a new party.

Trump military purge. Any Congressional Democrats telling themselves they can sit back and wait for Republicans to tank the midterms are delusional. We need full opposition mode, including supporting mass rallies and direct action. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Don't be modest, @nytimes.com, @theatlantic.com, @theguardian.com. Take a bow. What a beautiful atrocity you've built.

I would pardon the people who get us out of this mess.

The one thing that I wonder about, is about the FEC data. Americans' political donations. I wonder if Elon and his nazi crew have yet been inside the FEC. Because what I imagine they would do is start to pinpoint which people are donors to their political opponents and find a way to terminate them.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

I don't know how, but I feel like unless the country shuts down and refuses to do *anything* until Musk and Trump leave we're just helping them build the tools of our oppression.

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
