*This* is the race I was most closely watching tonight - because Jason Miyares (and Youngkin) played politics with my now-12 y/o child, forcing my family into an impossible choice between his education and protecting his health. We had to sue Miyares in federal court and won. A short 🧵

UVA is a world renowned public university. Our principles should guide our actions, not politically motivated guidance and illegal threats from the DOJ.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I keep seeing people say things like, “Well we’re not going to HAVE elections,” and with all due respect, I think this is both wildly pessimistic and also wildly naive.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail.
Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

25 minutes away from when the DOJ is supposed to file their second daily status report on Mr. Abrego. Yesterday they seemingly refused to provide information on the steps they've taken previously and plan to take in the future to "facilitate his return." Let's see if they refuse again today.

Unless there was another sealed filing which isn’t on the docket (a real possibility), it would appear that the administration has failed to provide the required information about what they are doing to try to get him back.

Still waiting to see if they're just a few minutes behind or not planning to file at all
