Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Your local org needs money. If you want to volunteer and you’re committed and reliable and know what you’re doing, great. If you want to volunteer and you don’t know what you’re doing, host a fundraiser.

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

Ouch! Lead reporter here has done great reporting on the DOGE takeover of IRS. But major journalism fail from the Post editors here right out of the gate on the Harvard tax exempt story. This isn't a "no proof" situation, guys. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Judge Boasberg carefully lays out how the Government continually lied, obfuscated, and defied the decisions of the Court. The best part might be how he notes their "states secret" argument was made moot by the various videos etc posted by the Admin bragging about the flights.

Yes surely the fourth circuit will break from SCOTUS on this issue 🙄 sanction them for frivolous appeals.

I think the biggest deal here is admin lawyers increasingly have to bet their bars won’t disbar them for criminal convictions (even if ultimately pardoned)

It’s just me but if I had big bet-the-company dilemmas instead of going with Paul Weiss or Skadden I might choose a firm with lawyers who understand concepts like cause and effect, object permanence, and stated intent

Gosh, very difficult legal question, is it "facilitating" someone's return when you're paying another country to detain them?

There’s a certain number of people who say things like “you all really need to stop saying things like ‘that’s illegal’ or ‘that’s unconstitutional’” and no, I won’t stop saying that. Because I’m not going to cede the point that we have the moral, legal, and pragmatic high ground.

The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

This is because “progressive” is becoming identified with the “fight” caucus, which should frankly terrify centrist democrats.

From Vance's tweets to Miller's and Homan's TV hits, don't we see a touch of desperation? Immigration is supposedly their go-to issue. But their policies are cruel and self-destructive, and they're losing control of the issue politically. Panic's in the air at the White House.

I checked in on Candace Owens for fun, and in case anyone’s wondering, she’s invented a Jewish Rasputin who puts all the “combating antisemitism” talking points on his desk to advance Israel’s interests and crush free speech. Trump is still ok tho. But he’s surrounded by pesky Jews.

He’s not asking for my proposal in good faith, but it’s for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Ya know. Like the Constitution contemplates. For example.

The founding fathers, who thought ambition would counter ambition, failed to consider that a man could genuinely aspire to be a sniveling baby bitch.

It's insane how congestion pricing in NYC has been just about the most unambiguously successful new policy implemented in my lifetime and still all the dumbest people in government want to get rid of it

This is so fucked up. ICE agents in Massachusetts smashed the window of a car to grab a Guatemalan guy who was with his wife. They were waiting for their lawyer to arrive because he has a pending asylum case. Story via @wcvb5.bsky.social: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

Okay, cards on the table: I refuse to be concerned. Because I believe, in the pit of my soul, that being concerned creates a permission structure not to express one’s views to protect oneself. I don’t think we’re there, but even if I did, I wouldn’t act like it.
