Former long-time AFPD, still thinks almost ACAB
Prove me wrong:
the United States has only been on the right side of history TWICE since its inception: WWI and WWII.
And even then, they were committing so many atrocities at home that those almost don’t count as clean historic winning moments.

Weird to see the "did you even say thank you?" crowd vanish on this one.
The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol.
Not one Republican has offered a reason why.
If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

Honestly, I think this should just be the general legal theory of the next administration: every bit of obvious bribery should just be seized on the grounds that Trump couldn't constitutionally have accepted it, so he must have accepted it on behalf of the government.

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards.
It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.

Whether Judge Boasberg was correct on the law is largely irrelevant to whether the government is in contempt for willfully disobeying it. If the Trump administration knew there was an order from a federal judge and then willfully violated it, that is the end of the analysis.

I still cannot believe this is real. It’s psychotic. There are many, many (SO MANY) more consequential heinous things they’ve done, but somehow the crassness of this seems like a new low. The White House shitposting like an especially mean and stupid 14-year-old.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism.
So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1
