If your teacher is MAGA, I bet it's really easy to get away with stuff. Like "Hillary Clinton stole my homework!" Or "George Soros hacked the canton machines!" Or "this test is woke!"

In this, as in every case, no one should cede ground willingly, or in advance. The way to muck up this machine is to fight it at every single juncture, even if it is futile. Most of what they're doing, especially the EOs, relies on psychological intimidation to generate compliance. Always fight.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Has dude never heard of "share contact"?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is reaching out to business leaders by sending them prepaid cell phones already programmed with his digits.
“If you ever need anything, I’m a phone call away,” read one note to a tech firm’s CEO included in the package.

NEW STATEMENT FROM CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place.
Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

it's too grim to write down but we just lived through the moment when a sitting u.s. president said in a speech at the dept of justice that he thinks news gathering has to be illegal, as covered by a far right tv network, with an ad for "angel cream" placed next to his head

It’s awesome that Senate Democrats are voting to pass Trump’s budget while he’s at the DOJ calling them a bunch of criminals and saying newspapers and MSNBC should be illegal. That’s great, good job guys.
