This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

OK, I'm calling it. The WSJ op-ed page is being used as a means to get an utterly bankrupt case for the anti-birthright-citizenship EO "on the wall" as something to be taken seriously. I am sharing this to take about why they should not, and no one should. Thread below www.wsj.com/opinion/why-...

Crazy thing is if Larry Hogan was senator he would have voted the same exact way. Not a good look for Miss Alsobrooks at all

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for speaking truth to power. That’s how we do in Maryland. Tell Senator Alsobrooks to get on board and to stop voting for fascist trump cronies or she’s off the team. #FightFascism #PeoplePower #DeportMusk

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away. It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.

The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. This power over the purse may be regarded as the most complete weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people -Alexander Hamilton

Before the election, we knew that the far-right (e.g. Heritage), tech-neo-Nazis (e.g., Musk, Thiel) were in charge. We also knew that the media from cable TV to our national newspapers were gonna just capitulate. We also knew the Democrats would never rise the occasion. What we're left with is: us.

this is severe, untreatable, terminal lawyer brain. so many legal academics act like the constitution is not a vessel intended to secure actual human rights and dignity, but a mere matter of intellectual curiosity, meant to be batted around like a cat with a toy
