Object lesson in why throwing even a bit of sand in gears can help. OSC won TRO last week preventing OSC's own firing. While TRO's in place, OSC rules on firings across govt. Fired employees usu have to show they used admin process before suing in fed ct. Now they have any hope of showing they did.

Margaret Sullivan gets it. What seems like a tiny flap over what to call a body of water is really about something big : a clear violation of the first amendment—and the extent to which news organizations will stick together in each other’s defense, or just comply for the sake of their own access.

God these people are such total morons. We're finally learning what happens when you just take the dumbest, meanest, people on the planet, convince them they're geniuses, give them money, and then give them power. It ain't pretty.

Still having such cognitive dissonance over all this, but this much is clear: Like other forms of red-baiting & McCarthyism in the past, the witch hunt's purported aims are often false pretenses, serving as proxy battles for bigger ideological wars. They're trying to bring media companies to heel.

It should not be radical for the American Bar Association to say that it supports the rule of law. But right now, it is. Let's see some other orgs taking a similar stance.

Lead story in @nytimes.com tonight speaks to one small way protests help shape national discussion: photos. Without protest, how would a news org visualize this debate? Treasury, computers, DOGE? Many feature Musk smiling. Here we see the drama of public opposition, which also helps justify story.
