So many catastrophes, so little space. Yesterday, SCOTUS signalled that it will likely reverse 90 years of precedent, ending the independence of independent agencies, like NLRB & FTC, giving Trump still more power to abuse. Didn't make the front pages. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Four law firms pushed back against Trump’s edicts — and four judges ruled in their favor. Trump hasn’t yet appealed any of those judgments because, as @jeffreytoobin1.bsky.social notes, his strategy is “based on bullying, not litigating.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/o...

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

We need to keep doing this. We need to constantly remind the media and the people that these are ordinary people, not boogie men criminals. They’re human beings being grabbed by the real monsters who are ICE.

I think the real problem with DOGE is that it’s a bunch of people who think that everyone is stupid except for them, when in reality every organization is made up of people who are trying to do things as best as they can but are constrained by other factors

Judge Susan Crawford has spent her career protecting the rights of all Wisconsinites. Over the years, she’s fought to defend abortion access, healthcare, and workers’ rights—and now, she’ll be the fair, common-sense voice Wisconsin deserves on the state Supreme Court. Vote for her by April 1st!

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. The U.S. resumed intelligence sharing with Ukraine, but trust in the U.S. has been lost. Kyiv knows it must seek more reliable partners. Maksym, a military officer, calls the pause a surprise, but not a disaster.
