Members of the military, save this phone number.
If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 1-877-447-4487

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

The 100 largest nonfinancial stocks on the NASDAQ exchange (the NASDAQ 100) are headed for their worst three days since 2000, which is absolutely bonkers when you realize that tops both COVID *and* the Global Financial Crisis.

Some voters got mad about people listing their pronouns, so now we're sending law-abiding, legal immigrants to torture prisons and being hit with the largest middle class tax hike in at least 40 years.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

MAGA is fighting back. #MichaelFlynn has moved to sanction us & recover fees bc we sought sanctions/fees against him. Except we didn't bring a lawsuit claiming defamation & huge damages only to withdraw it as case was about to heat up.

A principle that you’re unwilling to make sacrifices to defend isn’t a principle; it’s a convenience.
Is this what you want your legacy to be, law firms? Pandering to this? Clients come and go but integrity is forever.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Read it. And remember what they said yesterday and Monday: no war plans; not classified; no operational details.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
