I want to make something perfectly clear…

I don’t post to convince anyone they are right or wrong, that’s a revelation they will have to come to on their own. I post to let others who feel the way I do that they are not alone.

Ooooh well played.
A screenshot of text stating: "The University of Colorado took down its main D.E.I. webpage, and posted a new page for an Office of Collaboration." The text suggests that the university has replaced its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) webpage with a new office focused on collaboration. The emphasis on this change might indicate a shift in policy or branding regarding diversity initiatives.

I gotta wonder how it is that MAGA doesn’t understand how all of this affects them as well.

This is a flamethrower that also effectively torpedoes any possibility that the SDNY will dismiss the case against Adams without scrutiny and ensures any prosecutor filing the dismissal motion would do so at risk of bar discipline.

Holy shit

READ Danielle Sassoon's letter to AG Pam Bondi, via @nytimes.com:

"Rather than be rewarded, Adams's advocacy should be called out for what it is: an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for a dismissal of his case." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
Dear Attorney General Bondi: On February 10, 2025, I received a memorandum from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, directing me to dismiss the indictment against Mayor Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, which would require leave of court. I do not repeat here the evidence against Adams that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed federal crimes; Mr. Bove rightly has never called into question that the case team conducted this investigation with integrity and that the charges against Adams are serious and supported by fact and law. Mr. Bove's memo, however, which directs me to dismiss an indictment returned by a duly constituted grand jury for reasons having nothing to do with the strength of the case, raises serious concerns that render the contemplated dismissal inconsistent with my ability and duty to prosecute federal crimes without fear or favor and to advance good-faith arguments before the courts. When I took my oath of office three weeks ago, I vowed to well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I was about to enter. In carrying out that responsibility, I am guided by, among other things, the Principles of Federal Prosecution set forth in the Justice Manual and your recent memoranda instructing attorneys for the Department of Justice to make only good-faith arguments and not to use the criminal enforcement authority of the United States to achieve political objectives or other improper aims. I am also guided by the values that have defined my over ten years of public service. You and I have yet to meet, let alone discuss this case. But as you may know, I clerked for the Honorable J. Harvie Wilkinson III on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and for Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. Both men instilled in me a sense of duty to contribute to the public good and uphold the rule of law, and a commitment to reasoned and thorough analysis. I have always considered it my o…
