VICTORY! for democracy & for us @democracydefendersaction.org
The election deniers have just conceded that they lost the NC SCOTUS race after 7 months of attempted sabotage
We were proud to support this outcome with multiple bipartisan briefs in state & fed court as part of a huge coalition

Today, a Trump-appointed federal judge ruled that Allison Riggs is the legitimately-elected winner of the NC supreme court race
As our @sddaction.bsky.social amicus brief argued, Jeff Griffin's calls to throw out thousands of votes are UNCONSTITUTIONAL
It's time for him to concede

Getting autocrats to obey judicial decrees is tricky. It took ten plagues to get the Pharaoh to agree to “let my people go,” and even then his compliance was spotty at best.
The Garcia case is similar. @normeisen.bsky.social and I discuss how courts can get compliance there, without the locusts. 👇

The courts ordered Trump to facilitate the return of a U.S. resident unlawfully sent to a Salvadoran prison
Trump refused (& hinted he might keep refusing)
We discuss what happens next & why Trump will lose @contrariannews.org!
