I hope I live to see our Nuremberg.
There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal

When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity
Escalating reports of human rights crimes from Kristi Noem's propaganda to ICE cruelty must be wiped clean with justice.

This brings back memories. Thankful everyone is safe.
Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

Attention universities and law firms! Submission and capitulation gets you nothing.
Exclusive: Weeks after President Donald Trump’s administration ordered NIH to pull $250 million in biomedical research grants to Columbia University, the agency is freezing all remaining grant money owed to the university until further notice. scim.ag/4if5Rg1
NIH freezes all research grants to Columbia University

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.
So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.
The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Sen. Adam Schiff to NBC: "People have seen their retirement savings on fire and there he is out on the golf course. That may end up being the most enduring image of the Trump presidency. That is, the president out on a golf cart while people's retirement is in flames."

Delusional thinking.
Bonus to Republican Governors: Most of them will be in the third grade.

Bates: He inherited an economy that was the best-performing in the world. But in just two months, he’s crashing that economy with the biggest tax increase on middle-class families in 50 years—raising the prices he promised he would lower, and breaking his number one promise to them.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.
