On Tyranny historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social "It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor."
Rachel Cohen on resigning from Skadden: I would say to people: We’re going to end up staffed on financings to help prison corporations expand the Guantánamo Bay camp.
Every single person I said that to responded, “Oh, don’t say that.” Not one person said, “No, we won’t.” A few even said, “Yes.”

Donald Trump’s Pentagon nominees can mumble and backtrack all they want, but their own tweets don’t lie.

This is called a bribe.
We all know it’s a bribe. The freight company spending $20 million admits it’s a bribe.
Everyone understands this, and yet no one is holding him accountable — especially his own party which claims to care about law and order.

My extremely traditional hypermasculine dad was complaining that, “you’re not allowed to be a man anymore” and I said, “no, you can, being a man is good, you just can’t be a dick to people,” and he thought about that for a minute then nodded. “Alright, yeah, that makes sense.”
There’s still hope!

DOJ personnel don’t comment on anything beyond the four corners of a charging document in order to avoid prejudicing a defendant’s rights. Here’s the policy. The Attorney General of the United States violated it yesterday.
