“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

We honor Hero of the Resistance Janet Mills, currently Gov of Maine, for having the audacity to tell trump she will follow federal law:

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

How it started. How it’s going

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Let's check in on Trump's first month in office! (Gift link: wapo.st/434l8fD )

Today I saw flu A, flu B, Covid, Strep, seizures, cellulitis, migraines, asthma, anxiety and a swallowed penny stuck in the esophagus. I know how to recognize these, test for and treat them. They don't scare me. You know what scares me? Measles scares me. And that should scare you. #PedSky #MedSky

John Oliver defends AOC teaching people their rights in order to avoid illegally being arrested by ICE agents, ripping into Trump's border CZAR. "If you're relying on people not knowing their rights in order to do your job it seems like you might be part of the problem here"

"They asked my 6-year-old daughter if her dad was a gang member, if he had a gun ... My son, 9 years old, was crying. He's really sensitive. He kept trying to stop the agents from talking to his mom and sister like that, but they yelled at him to be quiet."
