NAACP LDF amicus in Perkins Coie likens Trump's efforts to efforts under Jim Crow to intimidate NAACP & other civil rights advocacy organizations. This is a great summary of history that is very relevant to current efforts, including some similar tactics. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.

This is the new McCarthyism. You may lose your livelihood, your liberty, even your citizenship if you speak out in support of the Palestinian people.

Everyone who cares about the Constitution needs to read this. DOGE has restructured the Treasury Dept to automatically block payments by federal agencies that do not align with EOs, impounding federal funds appropriated by Congress. This is a Constitutional crisis. @nathantankus.bsky.social

Lemme share something with you. A lot of semi-Trumpy types are saying Zelensky blew it. All he had to do was show up, shake hands, say Trump is great and sign the docs. He couldn't do that. But there are also people in DC who are not Trumpy who are saying the same thing. Now, big picture this ...

After talking to sources on every side, it's become clear the stakes in the Eric Adams case are far higher than one man's fate. MAGA is looking to tame the famously-independent US Atty's office in Manhattan. They're trying to take DOJ's "crown jewel" for itself. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
