First, the Supreme Court needs to fully understand they must reverse their insane decision to give Trump immunity to stop the Trump murders and attack on our America.

No one is above the law.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Yesterday, young lawyer Julie Le made news while trying to defend ICE when a Judge questioned why Court orders have not been followed. She was quoted as asking to be held in contempt so she could get some sleep. But there is so much more to the story. 1/3

The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today
"I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."

They have made clear that it was never just about illegal immigration: they hate all immigrants.

A 2,000 strong MN choir sings outside Minneapolis Marriott to the ICE paramilitary . Be "Minnesota nice." ICE can't handle it.

At a time when ICE's relentless assault against immigrants has ensnared both citizens & undocumented people, it is more important than ever for all people, but especially for Japanese Americans whose ancestors have uniquely experienced it, to speak out to warn against Federal Govt overreach ... 1/3

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

This should go without saying, but apparently it does. What officials say happened is not the news. What actually happened is the story. And headlines should reflect the truth as you can verify it, not the official lie.

Idk man if you’re a journalist working for a news outlet right now and you are echoing words like “protestor” or using the power of your organization to repeat the govt’s explanation as true I think you’re bad at your job and you should quit

Last year, Trump ordered National Park staff to flag displays that “disparage” America’s past. Now, crews removed plaques honoring 9 enslaved people once held by George Washington at Philadelphia's President’s House. Erasing history dishonors the enslaved and misleads future generations!

This says it all. As a lawyer whose whole adult life has been spent learning about, applying, and teaching about the rule of law, it is hard not to fall into despair that when it comes to this Administration, the rule of law has no meaning.

We failed to hold the right-wing oligarchs accountable for the coup on January 6th, Russian interference, the subprime housing crisis, the WMD lie, Iran Contra, Watergate, and the confederacy. Elect people who will.
FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸
