There's this political narrative that the revolutionary left thinks a leftist revolution is nigh, and will chuck bombs into the post office to smash the state, while the revolutionary left would actually like you to stop calling the cops on Food Not Bombs.

HT @emmcg.bsky.social for this tracker of all ongoing legal actions against Trump admin. It's a lot. I'm not optimistic the courts can stop most of it. Not to mention the ongoing damage while we wait for these processes to unfold. www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

American political observers now seem to be realizing something that was true all along: the “institutional” constraints on the executive were a series of doors pretending to be walls. When all else fails, constraint will hinge on social and economic disruption.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

This is the Deputy Attorney General doing an outright Stringer Bell "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" And to be perfectly clear: this is a crime. It's obstruction of justice, cut and dry, plain as day, no ambiguity about it.
