Introduce articles of impeachment. Even if it won't make it to the floor. It's your duty to try, IMHO.

What have they been waiting for?

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

As the government flings itself apart, we will keep coming back to the grim reality. Trump can’t be restrained, or reasoned with, or babysat for the next four years. The only way to bring power back under the rule of law is to remove a lawless man from power. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The administration isn't answering the court's questions about Abrego Garcia. ICAP's Mary McCord argues it's time for officials to testify under oath: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Bullshit, Secretary

Oh for chrissakes. YOU are not SHAPING anything, you are barely even following where we lead. YOU have more formal power than WE do. USE IT

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

The Florida Republican Party. One big happy family.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

“gangs” in the form of hierarchical criminal enterprises are effectively an urban legend. The concept functions almost exclusively as a tool for prosecutors to apply conspiracy charges and longer sentences to crimes committed by minorities.

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue This is really getting out of control. Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian and permanent U.S. resident who has had a green card for 10 years, was detained by immigration 1/6 www.forbes.com/sites/mollyb...

That’s illegal. FYI. No - Pam Bondi won’t do anything.

Schiff, Schumer, Newsom, literally any and every Dem should be on tv saying “Trump has the power to bring this guy home and he can’t do it because he’s weak and dumb” and it would be headline news. But no Dem has the balls to say anything bad about this admin and it’s pathetic

We are way past impeachment time

Call your member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, to demand no action on anything until this lawless act of defiance ends. Without the Constitution, they have no power. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121

Elon kills children.

Also if these detentions are part of an “alliance,” the people imprisoned in El Salvador are not in the “sole custody” of a “foreign sovereign.”

The consistently brilliant, @joyannreid.bsky.social, y’all. “The Roberts court has in almost every way been an activist one, which has leaned heavily into the idea of repealing the 20th century…” Read. #MomSky

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

Shawn Fain was on MSNBC this morning promoting Ross Perot, including waving around a book Perot wrote, and explaining why he supports Trump's auto tariffs

This one is gonna stick with Whitmer her whole career because it reveals a deep truth that Americans already feel about their leaders. Americans think their leaders operate behind closed doors, refute the truth, and betray their most basic values to advance some aspect of their personal ambition.

The @apnews.com + their leadership team were our “Media and Democracy Project Heroes of the Month.” The AP has stood up for reality, #PressFreedom and fought authoritarian attacks. Actions for *you* to take to support the AP & their journalism in our blog post open.substack.com/pub/mediaand...

This is what a stolen election actually looks like.

BREAKING: Last night, the Harvard faculty chapter of the AAUP and the national AAUP filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump administration from illegally demanding that we keep quiet and change how we teach and research at the point of a financial gun. actionnetwork.org/user_files/u...

“The reason they’ve moved out of Guantánamo is, and this is ironic, but there’s too much rule of law there.”

WATCH: “I wept today.” On Thursday, @SenatorLamar reacted after Tennessee Republicans passed @SenBoWatson’s cruel bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools through the senate 19-13. 7 Republicans opposed it with Dems. @ToddGardenhire (R) also wept.

To support international students whose visas have been revoked, UConn has…*created a page of web links* …mostly to CT legal aid orgs. UConn has its own law school & charges $44,784/yr for out-of-state grad tuition+fees. And they’re sending students to CTLawHelp.org #nutmegsky

Produced by Macklemore and Alana Hadid, new documentary The Encampments became the most-seen documentary in theaters in its first limited-release weekend.

"They are looking for reasons not to actually engage with the lawlessness of the administration." How the Supreme Court is handling Trump so far: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

“Taking an increasingly combative stance, the administration defied a federal judge’s order to provide a written road map of its plans to free the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. Trump officials then repeatedly stonewalled her efforts to get the most basic information about him at a hearing.”
