Trump signed an executive order punishing the Jenner & Block law firm, which employed Andrew Weissmann before and after his work on the Mueller Report. Trump is telling law firms he’ll ruin them if they don’t submit. He wants to bring down our justice system. Because that's what dictators do.

Probably a good time to let y'all know I'm going to be doing frequent anti-bullshit blogs for @reneweconomy.com.au during the Aus election campaign too, focusing on climate and energy Tips to [email protected] or Signal :) signal.me#eu/qCPkiOTNx... Still too few of us......

@marcelias.bsky.social: "When you're retired and your grandchildren are looking at you, don't you think they will ask what you did? Are you going to tell them you caved to Trump when he was trying to destroy democracy? My message to CEOs, media leaders & law firms is simple: Have some self-respect."

Lol The Australian is upset that Melbourne Press Club opted to post about the Quills here rather than the far right website that is increasingly hostile to journalists. Go figure.

“Under the Biden administration, ICE primarily focused on detaining public safety & nat’l security threats. As long as they did not have criminal records, Cubans with I-220As were not taken into custody. That appears to have changed” www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

The Budget should include a massive and historic increase in funding for research. Not only is it needed, but we really should be poaching ever medical and scientific researcher from the US we can. Absolutely perfect timing.

Now, Trump doesn't even want LEGAL immigrants from Germany, like his grandfather who got deported from Germany for illegal emigration.

Pls consider helping this link to @simonahac.bsky.social's National Press Club talk go viral. It's on @climate200.bsky.social community independents who can hold balance/power. He was so good & knocks hard on the head much of the rubbish we hear on repeat from RWNJs www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g5V...
