See, that wasn't so hard. It's really a collective action problem. What we need is an overwhelming show of support and condemnation for the shakedowns of Paul Weiss et al by basically every big firm in America. But no surprise that @marcelias.bsky.social is leading the way. He's the whole package.

And incidentally, a lot of lefties who are unfamiliar with the more important organizations behind far right jurisprudence use the Federalist Society as their measure of adherence to Trump's far right views.
Sassoon is a good example of why that's stupid.

This is the courage required of people who serve at the Justice Dept. Sassoon resigns, at no small personal cost, to protest the unjust order from DC to dismiss the case against Mayor Adams. Without fear of favor. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

There would not be a font size large enough for the NY Times editors to use demanding Biden resign.
all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here
THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.
You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Pam Bondi has the same illness as Pete Hegseth.
Once again, I say...these hearings should be simplified:
Refuse even one time to answer a "yes/no" question with a "yes/no" answer...and your ass is out the door and no longer eligible for confirmation.
This should apply to both parties.
