We stand with the courageous DOJ prosecutors who refuse to be bullied and threatened into violating their oaths and abandoning the rule of law, including those resisting pressure to dismiss charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. #SupportIndependentProsecutors #DOJ #Justice

As President Trump politicizes the justice system at a scale never before seen in US history, we can find hope in a crucial but overlooked role: the independent prosecutor. Cristine Soto DeBerry explains why independent prosecutors are essential in @usatoday.com: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Remember John Lewis's words: "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Reading Hegseth's book American Crusade -- he's a danger to #peace and #freedom. He holds that #civilwar in the US is necessary unless his form of political correctness is enforced. He would destroy US military code and culture in pursuit of his theocracy. #RedState Senators protect US.

Come on co-president Musk, surely you can be a bit more classy than trolling the US's closest ally and saying the UK prime minister should be imprisoned and America should invade the UK??!

As a follow up to my last post: co-president Musk, since you're pontificating on imprisoning leaders of other countries, how about some introspection on the ethics of backing an insurrectionist, abusive, tax-evading, twice-impeached, grifter for US president? Just saying...
