Antonin Scalia Was a Diversity Hire
The late justice spent his career ridiculing the notion that elite institutions had any interest in diversity. He might not have made the Supreme Court without it.

Rev. Bates-Chamberlain: Once ICE came in on their rampage, you literally had mass agents kidnapping people off the streets. It felt like you were in a horror movie, but this was a real occurrence happening in the United States in 2025.

Never, of course.
In other countries, corrupt presidents have been removed and jailed for a mere fraction of Trump’s wrongdoing.
Here in America, Republicans celebrate criminality. In fact, candidates only get elected when they’ve demonstrated egregious contempt for the law.

Happy birthday to Alexander Siddig, who played Dr. Julian Bashir on all 7 seasons of #StarTrekDS9 (and one episode of #StarTrekTNG). He also directed two DS9 episodes, "Business as Usual" and "Profit and Lace." Do you have a favorite Bashir episode?

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

After doing everything they could to block release of the Epstein files, Republicans don't suddenly get to claim to value justice or accountability just because Trump wants to engineer a thin patina of false innocence. We know what's going on, we're keeping score, and we won't forget.

![II. Credibility
The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6]
Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage.
[FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifpyry2il5toxbr3iejgrsxs6kmnwve75qwnhebfp44ieyjrfpsdu@jpeg)

If a reasonable person would know the order is illegal, you MUST refuse.
Obedience is not absolute, duty to the Constitution is.

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.

Violently attacking Congress to stop election certification then getting convicted of seditious conspiracy by a jury with full due process = not sedition
Saying US troops made an oath to the Constitution and should ask a lawyer if they think an order may be illegal = sedition
