🚨 Call These Senators 🚨 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11. There’s no other meaning: The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

Right on! And the great Williams & Connolly has stepped up to defend Perkins Coie from the same savage and lawless attack on law and justice. I call on all my fellow lawyers to show such principled courage. If you’re too chicken, then stop calling yourself a lawyer. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

It's called Conservatism of convenience.

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes. Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

🚨JUST IN: Target boycot is working, their store traffic fell 10% & stock fell -23% in the last 6 months…👇 *Target is also facing 40-day boycott starting today, over company’s shift away from DEI policies. Let’s. Do. This. ✨ #BankruptTarget

1/ Peter Thiel-who backs the "network state" movement & the construction of charter cities—wrote a preface for "The Sovereign Individual," a book that states in part as follows:

For those who doubt that the US would ever deport US citizens.

Understand People, PLEASE The TRANS COMMUNITY is being attacked from not only our CRUEL GOVERNMENT But The floodgates of ignorance and hate !! Walk in Their Shoes We MUST SUPPORT OUR TRANS SISTERS AND BROTHERS AND YOUTH The SPEED and VICIOUSNESS of HATE is everywhere ⬇️⬇️

Become a Republican’s worst nightmare. Choose to be an informed citizen.

Immigrants aren't stealing your jobs, Musk is firing you.

QUOTE OF THE DAY…

Some of you have inquired over on my Substack where you can find a list of all (organized in useful, searchable ways) the litigation over the Administration’s executive orders and other actions, since January 20,2025. A great tracker is at Just Security.

Every dollar the US Government spends is a matter of public record and is available online. Musk isn't finding any secrets; he's exploiting his own ignorance and that of MAGAs.

Wonderful. Good goal.

Gratifying to see @axios.com use the data from the @justsecurity.org Litigation Tracker (and with credit given, etc.). The very kind of public education outcome we had in mind. Valuable infographic here.⤵️ Thanks to @erindoherty.bsky.social @thesambaker.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/02/12/t...

I've already started with a couple of these👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

Protests are all they are waiting for. At the first sign of an organized protest, Trump/Musk will call it an “insurrection” and bring the military into their fascist takeover.

As a former Hill staffer, some advice: you need a good ASK. MoCs want constituents to feel heard but don't want to do anything new. Bad asks are vague, not time-bound, not verifiable. "Support human rights!" "Oppose Trump!" The Member will say they agree with you and do nothing. Here's a good ask:

Those huddled masses that you have heard about your whole life? They are the brave ones, the game changers, the nation builders. Their yearning to breathe free provides oxygen for everyone else. Remember that, as we head into next week.

Fire assistance for those displaced 🚨

Anyone know this fuckstick? Where he is located? I need to report him for child abuse and I’m thinking about filing a lawsuit for domestic terrorism. It’s really bad.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Just a reminder 👇👇👇👇 "We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator ...we take an oath to the Constitution ... and we're willing to die to protect it". - Mark Milley (2023)

Every single MAGA politician knew exactly who Matt Gaetz is and they were cheering him on to be our attorney general. Let that sink in.

They really hate it when their book is used against them... #atheists #atheist #atheism #christian #christianity #religion #god #bible #holybible

It’s a real struggle. I have yet to find a balance.
