🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The reason the Trump administration won't bring Abrego Garcia back is the publicity that will ensue. He'll be on every news program detailing his abduction and incarceration in one of the world's cruelest prisons. They're backed into a corner. His life is at risk.

The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.” Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution. They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

Well, @fetterman.senate.gov turned off his voicemails at his DC office so you can’t leave a voicemail on anything. But I hope he knows better than to vote for the SAVE Act, which will disenfranchise tens of millions of PAians and Americans - mostly women and POC. @johnfetterman.com

Wow. This is 🔥🔥 Trump & his Cabinet should be strapped to their chairs and made to watch this on a loop. Victor Gao: “China has been here for 5000 years. Most of the time, there was no United States and we survived.” 🇨🇳 He beautifully trashes JD Vance too. (🎥 Channel 4 News)

1000% this. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.senate.gov need to play hardball here.

For academics in the US: the University of Toulouse has quickly put together a program to help bring scholars to France whose work is under attack by the Trump administration. The priorities area are: humanities, climate sciences, health, and space research. en.univ-toulouse.fr/news/toulous...

Needed to hear this. Grateful to hear this.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

What did they expect when they sold their soul to the devil? #BlackThursday

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
