This is to the shame of our country

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

Human rights violations? Not at all akin to ICE abducting Grade 3 children from classroom and deporting to overcrowded and undersupplied concentration camps, or illegally deporting US citizens off to El Salvador death camp, or treatment of Palestinians in Israel. Difference? SA victims are - white.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

According to media reports, the list of Trump collaborator Big Law firms may grow to include: A&O Shearman Cadwalader Kirkland & Ellis Latham & Watkins Simpson Thacher If they do, they would join the already disgraced: Skadden Arps Paul Weiss Milbank Willkie Farr

Economists say the way Trump calculated tariffs makes no sense, report The Post's Andrew Ackerman & @federicacocco.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Now economists know how scientists felt when he said “inject bleach” - Joseph Allen, Assoc Prof at Harvard

Nobel Prize winners: Not welcome. Andrew Tate: Welcome. I don't know how anyone in the administration can think this is a god look to the rest of the world, given that Arias' sin was a relatively mild criticism of the president. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

What's happening in Ukraine is both tragedy and travesty. If the U.S. withdraws from NATO and it can't step up without our support, it will also be disaster and atrocity. And all of it can be laid at the feet of the traitor, Donald Trump. More in my latest: www.marytrump.org/p/at-the-ful...

So far, all three law firms that fought back against Trump's executive orders targeting them won, before three different judges. And two firms preemptively folded.

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.
