Folks are angry because they're, understandably, tired of hearing, "The president can't do that!" Consider what I offer from Lincoln in my Wisc. L. Rev. article about coups and the Constitution. The law belongs to us. Institutions need our belief in law. Faith without works is no answer either.

@meglinehan.com @tamerra-griffin.bsky.social are you hearing any rumblings re moving the World Cup or Olympics out of the U.S.? I imagine there are growing concerns about athlete safety and whether any fans would travel. Though if Qatar was ok ….

The World Cup and the Olympics need to be moved to another country. It will not be safe in the United States for any foreign athlete or visitor. And no one should be rewarding our horrific behavior with tourist dollars.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Lots of folk wondering how this can be, but most NYers are working like mad to keep their head above water. We've memory-holed EVERYTHING that happened during Covid lockdown, including Cuomo being a sexist abuser who killed a bunch of seniors. It's frustrating but w/o media attacking him...

Just want to add that the issue of whether something is legal is a technical question that should be subordinate to basic questions of right and wrong, and exiling US citizens - even criminals! - to foreign prisons is deeply, deeply wrong.

I'm truly not interested in a political project that "restores" the US. I only care about one that completely transforms it.

What happens when Cuomo has no public employees to coerce to do his writing + proofreading for him. This serial sexual harasser killed seniors with his mishandling of COVID, + thinks NYC voters are dumb. #DREAM = Don’t Rank Eric adams or Andrew cuomo for Mayor

So many Black New Yorkers are struggling to stay in the city we helped build. We need bold solutions to bring down costs — and to expand opportunity for our children. We need new leadership, not the same tired politicians. amsterdamnews.com/news/2025/04...

I've always found it strange that some people don't understand that the choir ALSO needs to hear the sermon. The "preaching to the choir" thing has done a number on a lot of people. The choir ALSO needs uplifting in fact it's extremely important to ensure the continuation to the church.

A lot of what appears inexplicable to some people can be explained by racism. I understand that it's out of fashion to say this.
