No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Seen some of your responses but the pattern I'm talking about is an overall silencing of dissent and criticism of Trump & his administration. Today legal immigrants, tomorrow naturalized citizens, after that every U.S. citizen will be under threat for exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

While Trump is busy screwing over most police officers and pardoning people who assault cops, he's protecting some the worst police officers this way. HORRIFIC.

Not "all white people" are wrong. But when it comes to race, the majority of white Americans have been on the wrong side of every single racial issue in the 248-year history of this country. So why would anyone even care what they think about Black art?

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk. Support the non-profit law orgs and small firms doing this hard work.
