All great follows.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Excellent constitutional point 📫📪📬📭⚖️👇🏾

Trump has announced via social media post that he is ousting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General CQ Brown and will be replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan 'Razin' Caine.

It’s so obvious that the Trump administration through its proxies is pro-Neo Nazi. There. I said it. Spread the word. And, do whatever you can to change things: vote, volunteer, donate, attend a precinct meeting. Your county party has a website.

In North Carolina, we’ve seen this chilling-effect type conduct on judges before. It’s the MAGA playbook.

I wrote about what’s going on here in North Carolina for the American Constitution Society which opposes the MAGA Federalist Society. If you’re trying to explain to your friends what bad things are going on in NC, and how it can happen to them, please share. #VoteBlue www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

Unfortunately, people are going to get hurt before we take our country back from the current fascist, oligarch, corporatacracy government in power. #VoteBlue

The corporatocracy is on full display. #VoteBlue

The Trump Justice Department has just deleted the federal database that tracks police misconduct.

Exactly! A must watch Dems. #VoteBlue

Mid-terms are coming so people need to vote. There are also three special elections in Florida and New York next month to fill Republican vacated congressional seats. You can donate. You can go to a local precinct meeting. Volunteer for the county party whose job it is to get the vote out. Lots.

This was a great one hour seminar and one I plan on listening to again

40 days until Election Day on April 1st. Let's keep moving forward, Wisconsin.

For most of us, it’s hard to understand the level of cruelty coming from this admin. From the White House posting a vid of immigrants being led away in chains and calling it ASMR to Musk running on stage waving a chainsaw to symbolize all the fed employees being fired…we cannot accept this as normal

Carville: The key issue is that in this century under Democratic President 50 million jobs have been created. One million jobs under Republicans

Thank you to the American Constitution Society for publishing my piece documenting the autocratic assault on the rule of law taking place in North Carolina. Bad stuff is going on. People, pay attention before it comes knocking on your state’s door #NorthCarolina #ncpol www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

Chicago Bar Association comes out in support of the rule of law.

No one says it better than @jbpritzker.bsky.social

Please share these personal stories about federal workers when you see them. These are our friends, our families, our neighbors… just everyday Americans like you and me.

If you need more evidence that the rule of law is under attack, here you go. #VoteBlue

Trump & Co. are dismantling important Depression-era programs that were meant to protect the most vulnerable. Soon, a new cohort of poor will be created. This is shameful, just shameful. #VoteBlue

This is a really good watch. We need to know a bit about why these programs exist, so we understand how these cuts will affect and harm *all of us*. #usaid #commongood

The most progressive document known to mankind because of its preamble. “We the People of the United States,” not “These United States.” What’s going on is divisive and unjust, impedes tranquility and the general welfare, nor secures our liberty. #VoteBlue

This ….

If you search on Bluesky for “federal employee” you can see the heartbreaking stories of folks being callously harmed by the bully and the billionaire. This isn’t about saving money or searching out legit waste or fraud. Gleefully taking away people’s paychecks is cruelty.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of harm that will get people who voted for Trump to the poles. People should expect it to get worse and for it to affect lots of people. #VoteBlue

Complete … whack … job

Not a bad idea. It risks people going to Trump channels … or not.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Especially since all the things Trump is cutting were funded by Congress and thus, outside his purview to mess with. #VoteBlue

I really don’t think Trump voters wanted this. #VoteBlue

A piece of news not widely publicized. $10 million from X and $25 million from META to Trump. No real legal dispute here to begin with: Elon Musk's X settles Donald Trump's free speech lawsuit brought after Jan. 6 ban www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

This was a great game to watch. Looking forward to the championship game.

Trump fires 1,000 at the Veterans Administration. Way to support our veterans GOP and Trumpers. #VoteBlue

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Love this.

Great example of an attorney standing up for the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is how we stand up to the attack on the rule of law…
