What happened in Venezuela can happen anywhere’—Interview with Exiled Venezuelan Judge Eleazar Saldivia www.jurist.org/features/202...

The judiciary is facing serious challenges. We must stand up and advocate for justice. Speakupforjustice.law youtu.be/L5OUXGCAoB0

Eleazar Salvida was a judge in Venezuela, forced to flee a hostile regime. Esther Salas is a US District Court judge in New Jersey; her son was murdered in an attack aimed at her. Together they warn, "The justice system is under attack www.cnn.com/2025/07/01/T...

They count on this.

Cities across the country should take a look at how we take care of our own. ✊🏼

Flash floods along Texas’ Guadalupe River have killed at least 24 people and left around 25 people missing.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Huge Shout Out To: Attorney Lee Gelernt Deputy Director ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project Thank You! Excellent Work! This is an Enormous Win!

Because Lee Gelernt and the other attys at the @ACLU DO NOT SLEEP on what must be done.

Donald Trump before the election: “I’ll end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.” Today, 89 days into the Trump presidency, Marco Rubio said the U.S. may “move on” from efforts to secure a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if no progress is made in the coming days.

I’ve never been an activist although I’ve volunteered for organizations that support issues I care about. Trump has changed that. None of us can sit on the sidelines anymore. If you aren’t “active,” you’re passive. America needs all of us. Dissent IS patriotic! #SCpol

All day long yesterday, the MAGA dipshits on Elon Musk’s platform were screeching that the FSU shooter was a far-left LGBT Palestinian sympathizer antifa liberal prog. Huh. Weird. nypost.com/2025/04/18/u...

Doge unemployment ‘fraud’ discoveries are old finds from Biden era, experts say Some aren’t even fraud but rather known attempts by states to protect victims of identity theft, former top official says www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Gollum’s looking pretty faded 💍

Whenever I write the date now I make the year “Project 2025” Example: 📅 04-17-Project 2025

Thank you. Finally. More like this please. You must stand against evil.

Donald Trump has no fidelity to the law, and his intentions for the Justice Department and US Attorney offices have been made clear. I will not return the blue slip for his nominees for US Attorney for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Hey my LA peeps- just a reminder that this event will be happening in front of the Consulate General TODAY!! 3250 Wilshire Blvd LA 90010 Thanks to these 2 Indivisible local groups. @samo-indivisible.bsky.social @indivisiblewestsidela.com

So there you have it: Boasberg says the government can either work to "purge its contempt" by affording those individuals sent to El Salvador the due process it denied them. And if they don't, then we're heading towards a special prosecutor for criminal contempt prosecutions.

"A current IRS employee who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity echoed a similar sentiment sentiment: 'You gotta be sh*tting me'...” www.cnn.com/2025/04/15/p...

SCOTUS handed Trump a blank check for criminality— they shouldn’t be shocked he’s cashing it. Immunity was the invitation to ignore the law, the courts, and them. They shouldn’t be surprised. You don’t crown a criminal and expect loyalty to the law. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Stephen Miller lied about Abrego Garcia’s case-claiming SCOTUS said “no district court can compel the president to exercise his..foreign powers” Rubio says he can deport ANY alien, even for “EXPECTED beliefs” Trump said “the home growns are next” STAND UP DON’T LET TRUMP TAKE OUR DEMOCRACY AWAY

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

We've reached the point where Republicans are flying to El Salvador to visit one of the most vicious prisons in the world to have photo ops so they can prove their loyalty to the President of the United States.

Say it with us: Constitutional crisis

Last week, all but 2 House Republicans present voted for legislation that makes $880 BILLION in Medicaid cuts possible. Where was their worry then? clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025100

Imagine seeing this image four years ago. You would've wondered what tragedy befell our country where a scene like this could possibly happen.

And our nation’s Universities are now standing up and following Harvard’s lead!

Judge Boasberg: "The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders ... To permit such officials to freely 'annul the judgments of the courts' … would not just 'destroy the rights acquired under those judgments'; it would make 'a solemn mockery' of 'the constitution itself.'"

Democrat Nathan Sage was born to a working class family in Mason City, Iowa. @sageforiowa.bsky.social is a mechanic, US Marine, Iraq War veteran, sports broadcaster, Knoxville Chamber of Commerce president, husband and father — who’s going to beat Joni Ernst in 2026! Watch this video to learn more!

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

If what his lawyer says is true about Musk’s DOGE DIGGERS using Musk’s Starlink program during their Illicit data Stealing, Russia also has access to that data. Hmmm… Looks like Trump and Musk are handing Russia our country one gigabyte at a time.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

How many Republican roads lead to Russia. 😳

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?

#BondiBarbie is LYING! She tied for 5th!!! Not even close Riley Gaines is just a sore loser! She has used this one race to justify her hate & personal failures as a swimmer My granddaughter is a competitive swimmer She swims in meets all the time & no one race is ever determinative

📌62 years ago today, in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King wrote: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." 📌Let these words ring with thunder today as a madman and his odious henchmen take a wrecking ball to the Constitution and our human rights everywhere ...

My ex wife suffers from early onset dementia. She’s 55. Medicaid pays for her necessary assisted living. If Mike Johnson thinks she can work the vile motherfucker should hire her.

A strong majority of US voters and 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 believe immigrants with green cards & visas have the right to: - be informed of the charges against them 81% - the right to a fair trial 77% - the right to present a defense 75% - the right to appeal a court decision 69%

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

The chair of Paul Weiss, Karp was the lead-off figure in a very dark thread in this moment, and I, for one, will never forget it. It's been a month since Karp went to the White House and capitulated. Look at where we are now.

Stanford and Yale back Harvard in opposition to the Trump administration thehill.com/homenews/edu...

This frame is a mistake. Democracy is a more efficient system than authoritarianism. They solve problems better than others, have stronger economic and health outcomes growth and fewer financial crises. Authoritarians look decisive because they miss problems and have to do big things to fix them.

Senator Chris Van Hollen. Thank you God Speed, safe travels Senator, you could have wrote the letter and said we'll HOPE for the best But we are so proud of you You stood up and are fighting for Kilmar Abrego Garcia You're fighting for all of us He must be released Thank you ! #MomSky

They're doing this so they can steal the money. Hail to the thief
