I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

“None of this would be happening without the U.S. Supreme Court, which loves nothing more than bolstering the power of wealthy white conservatives, as documented in a new report by @pppaction.bsky.social.” Great (read: incredibly bleak) new piece by @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social ⤵️

This is such a beautiful and sad piece. This line at the end is going to stick with me: "There's no good time to schedule fun, so you just got to commit to it." www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...

For four years, Americans saw what it could be like to have a legal system that stands up for real people. Now, @mollycoleman.bsky.social of @peoplesparity.bsky.social outlines the work ahead to turn those four years into a movement: brandeisianbrief.substack.com/p/for-the-ne...

If it were a movie, people would roll their eyes at how overdone it was. The man who ascended to the presidency by firing people on TV is about to have the first case of his second term argued at the Supreme Court. The issue? Whether he has the 'unrestricted power' to fire his critics. (1/3)

The top U.S. labor law enforcer is @nlrbgc.bsky.social. Biden-era GC maintained that contracts binding workers against taking their skill to competing employers are unlawful. The new NLRB General Counsel reversed this, will stop fighting such noncompete clauses. HT @mattbruenig.bsky.social

“We are alarmed how quickly the business community has given in to the current administration’s retaliatory threats. It is not ‘illegal’ for a company to create a business model based on what it believes to be important ethical and business standards.”

On the one hand, daycare is the only thing that makes it possible for me to be a parent and I am so incredibly grateful it exists. On the other hand, I am sick for the one-millionth time this year and I do wonder if possibly we should outlaw all spaces in which two or more toddlers can swap germs.

Trump is breaking the law to help his billionaire friends screw over working people, and the consequences are already being felt. I wrote about it for @ballsandstrikes.org.

Minnesota has been incredibly lucky to have @smith.senate.gov in the Senate. While I’m disappointed she isn’t going to run for re-election, I think and hope this means we’re going to see a lot from her in the next two years when it comes to leading the fight against Trump.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

I have absolutely no time for politicians who don’t respect organizing. This is, quite literally, what democracy looks like. You don’t have to agree with everything the people are demanding, but if you’re going to disparage the people doing whatever they can to fight fascism, you should resign.

As @schwartzesque.bsky.social writes, we have crossed a dangerous threshold, "marking the first time a judge has expressly declared that the Trump administration is disobeying a judicial mandate." Institutional checks on the president depend on a president being willing to be checked. Without that…

There’s been a lot of debate over exactly what “counts” as a constitutional crisis. Luckily, Trump is saving us from having to continue that debate!! Unfortunately, it’s because he’s taken us so far down the constitutional crisis road that there’s nothing left to debate 🙃

NEW: Despite multiple judges blocking the Trump administration's funding freeze, the administration is still totally failing to comply with court orders. We're tracking notable examples of shuttered programs and services.

At 5:30 today, I felt like I was already so behind on the day that I’d never catch up. At 6:30, I felt like I was going to crush my to-do list and have the world’s most productive week. At 7:30, my kid threw up everywhere. Wondering what 8:30 will bring on this here Monday!!!

"Rupert Murdoch is here at the game. Good to see him. We're all here because of him." Yeah Jim, I guess when you think about it. We really are gesturing around me 'HERE' because of him aren't we?

Gupta Wessler is the best of the best, and the law is entirely on Wilcox’s side. And yet—if and when this gets to the Supreme Court, it’s almost certain they’ll side against Wilcox. The Supreme Court is not on the side of working people, and it is not going to save us from Trump’s tyranny.
