This is key to understanding the FedSoc Supreme Court: the facts do not matter. They will invent their own reality and substitute it for the reality we're actually living in.

Hello, @americanbar.org: Maybe you want to give some thought to this & the lawyers who promulgate it since it seems, uh, kinda against the law and all that.

Hello, America, here is your faith-based governance in action: "Some don't believe"--ergo, it's law!

Huh, it would be a shame if people informed the companies that ICE rents trucks from that it is ILLEGAL to transport people & weapons in the cargo area--and that maybe the companies shouldn't get more business if they ignore such uses. Budget rental: 800-214-6094 UHaul rental: 800-468-4285

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

1/2 @mayorbowser.dc.gov @chmnmendelson.bsky.social @councilofdc.bsky.social @robertwhitedc.bsky.social @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social @cmchenderson.bsky.social: Today NG troops w rifles & MPD harassed DC kids on their way to school in Ward 2. We know @washingtonpost.com will turn away--will you?

For everyone saying that the National Guard deployment in D.C. isn’t a big deal. Thankfully, the kids acted like adults, unlike the actual adults, so no one got hurt or arrested.

Good.

Thank you--I too understand.

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

"Strength is not the power to frighten the powerless. Courage is not a 3 a.m. boot at a mother’s door. Law is not a door prize for whoever can shout loudest." A powerful & necessary post--read it. www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/night-knoc...

Denying legal status (and equal protection of law) of targets of state actors was a key feature of Nazism. It is now happening here.

Nothing to see here, eh @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com? (Seems your vacation homes are fine; your stocks are great; you can afford whatever you want for food; and no one's coming for you--so why worry?)

"How dare you call us Nazis"

Work is mighty interesting these days, @scotushistory.bsky.social

Our government has ceased functioning in every sense of the word. (via @magixarc.bsky.social)

Thank goodness for someone to find humor in insane @nytimes.com headline that, in addition to downplaying yet another American war crime, makes it look like the United States attacked only ONE boat instead of MANY.

Yes, indeed--it is getting cold outside.

As the advancing army advances against its own citizens, criminologists wonder: are the feds kidnapping and killing in a smart way?

Yesterday, w/ a helicopter & zip ties, ICEStapo led a full-on tactical assault on an apartment building in an American city, dragging adults & kids from their beds w/ no cause, no warrant, no due process. 1. Be done w/ anyone who thinks this is good & necessary 2. PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS: 202-224-3121

Don't look away.

Yo, @washingtonpost.com @postopinions.bsky.social @nytimes.com: Due process & 1st amendment violations coming to you, too.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

No kidding.

Good.

Amen.

Thread about the vital importance of self-governance--and how it is being taken away from DC.

Good--and thank you.

Good reminder that this is Trump's THIRD shutdown.

Good.

Awww, tis a shame if everyone called ALL his offices w the same message: 202-225-2777 (DC direct) 318-840-0309 337-423-4232 337-226-6385 318-497-6610

This bears repeating for the duration of the shutdown.

Speaker of the House refuses to do his job.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

Say it! "They are simultaneously brutal AND ridiculous."

The current banner on this website is horrible--and a lie. www.hud.gov

Excellent compilation of the moment we find ourselves in. harrydunn.substack.com/p/republican...

That's the way.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Yep. It's also when, on an otherwise peaceful evening, a large group of National Guard stands by DC residences with rifles--as they did last night at 4th and E. Cap. @mayorbowser.dc.gov @chmnmendelson.bsky.social @thehillishome.com

This administration is illegally brutalizing everyone they dislike. Let us hope the mayor sues--and wins.

ALL the deaths from the unprovoked attacks on Venezuelan boats are human rights violations. @coalitionfortheicc.org

"Democracy dies if prominent black writers don't frame their arguments around appeasing white voters in Wisconsin," or "Democracy dies unless liberal writers praise radical, hateful conservative activists" is the subtext. And it's worth thinking through who makes these kinds of arguments and why.
