“Institutions that stood up are remembered for standing up to that power & that coercion, they're remembered for their acts of bravery. Institutions that capitulated are remembered for their willingness to cave to autocratic demands.” — Risa Lieberwitz, president of the Cornell chapter of the AAUP

Rule of law? Is Jamie Dimon paying attention. Trump is undermining the rule of law every day, with his vendettas against law firms, attacks on universities, illegal deportations, and brazen politicization of the Justice Department and other agencies. Wake up!

I keep hearing from the DNC that it “is launching” The People’s Cabinet. Great concept, but when? Where? How do we access it?” Is it really happening?

The Trump administration is pretending to comply with the Supreme Court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s infamous Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo—while refusing to actually do so, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. https://theatln.tc/k6OLmbC3

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

The Peoples’ Cabinet! This idea came up right here on BlueSky and it looks like it is happening. Let us hope the right voices are a part of this, and the best social media content creators, influencers, and strategists design the format and distribution. Huge. democrats.org/news/dnc-cha...

The shadow government/“The Peoples’ Briefing” never happened. If it had, and was done right, Dems would be united, not alienated from their leaders and giving the party a 29% approval rating. Trump and Musk, the Republican Congress are inflicting a real crisis on everyday Americans.

I know the GOP believes they are untouchable right now & Dems feel lost in the woodlands, but please take a minute to look at the margins on flips in down-ballot races. This is always the first tell. Tonight a Dem won a Trump +15 State Sen district in Pennsylvania.

Senator Jon Ossoff was right in telling CIA Director John Ratcliffe that this was a "huge mistake" and him responding "no" yet saying it was an "inadvertent mistake" most definitely is an "embarrassment" to put it mildly. What a total clown show.
