"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

In most societies, the rich and powerful acceded to the rule of law solely because they realized that, as soon as ordinary people feel they’re getting screwed without any chance of peaceful redress, that’s when you get the pitchfork-wielding mobs.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Estimate of total protesting on 4/5 is now 5.2M, based on reports from over 1.6K events nationwide.
More than 21K volunteers traveled the country to monitor each location & work with authorities to assess & estimate crowd size from compilation of reports.
My guess is, it's still a low estimate.

SCOTUS seems to think it's ok for the admin, without due process, to use a wartime law during a time when we are not at war, intended to target enemy aliens when in fact those targeted are not enemies. And the remedy for abuse of the law enables the govt to venue shop where challenges will be heard.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

So, according to SCOTUS, the Trump admin can ship a person to a foreign gulag w/o due process of any kind, just so long as they have “access to due process” while detained in said foreign gulag, which of course they won’t.
And MAGA actually thinks this shit will stop with people they don’t like?

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
