You will never convince me that zip-tying the hands of well-dressed, well-behaved children in a courtroom has anything to do with law and order. This is pure authoritarian spectacle, engineered by Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, executed by ICE, and enthusiastically approved by Donald Trump and MAGA.
Children in zip ties 🤨 governor Abbott is all in with Steven Miller's ICE and their UnAmerican cruelty👿👇🏼

Dear Speaker Jeffries, please look at AOC. Dear Leader Schumer, please look at Chris Murphy. They are showing you what all of us want you to be doing every single day.

The way an executive branch that respects the rule of law objects to a district court ruling it doesn’t like is to *appeal* it, not to imply that the ruling just shouldn’t be followed.

If a donor buys $100 million of ads that lie about a candidate, that's free speech. If a newspaper publishes a poll, with crosstabs, that ends up being wrong, that is election interference.
everything is speech now, except for actual speech, which is unfortunately election interference.
Trump's lawyers call a newpaper publishing information that might affect the eleciton "Election Interference" and argue it's some kind of tort, as opposed to Consitutionally protected speech. Also a poll published in parnership with a paper is "leaked" to it? www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
