I've cossed more international borders than most, been through checkpoints and searches and have trained human rights activists, journalists and others in staying safe in repressive regimes. In the past few days I've provided some friends with travel advice for no particular reason; here's a thread:

Here is Judge Boasberg's order—in writing—after the disaster of a hearing today. He wants a sworn declaration that no one was removed based on the AEA proclamation and setting out when it went into effect, an estimate of how many individuals may be subject, and why DOJ can't answer its questions.

I spent the weekend mostly avoiding reality and it was lovely. I met some new people, got started on reviving an old hobby and gave away a ton of old fabric bits and pieces to a newbie costumer who needed some help.
Mondays, however, continue to suck.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

National Democratic organizers have the perfect catchy slogan right now:
"Trump took it."
It's the new answer to anything anyone complains about.
"Trump took it. He cut everything. Trump took it."
Catchy. Dullard-oriented. People who can't mentally process "policy" can process it.

Groundwork is being laid for what I'm calling "Operation Ejector Seat".
I hope I won't have to go through with it. But, as they say: hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
