If not ignore them entirely. It's unclear under what authority the US Attorney is writing, or requesting his information.
Journal editors ought to respond to these letters with "Fuck off."

Do want to clear up something, while it was good to be recognised as the person who exposed the Greens Franklin S44 debacle, the ABC's description of me as a "self-proclaimed amateur election analyst" was incorrect + I hope this doesn't happen again.

The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

It would only take three.

Remember back in 2016? Everyday Trump shat on the chess board, knocked over all the pieces and loudly declared victory. 99% of it amounted to a hill of beans. If you spend all your energy on Trump the pigeon, you'll go barking mad over the next 4 years. What is being done, not said is what matters

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified…
…once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’.
Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social - just reading your piece on staying safe with an embryonic authoritarian regime. All very sensible advice if you want to keep your head down. But, does some of this not amount to anticipatory obedience, breaking @timothysnyder.bsky.social 's first rule?

So, I did a thing - I deleted Ex-Twitter off my phone. Will still log in on my laptop occasionally to read a few specific accounts that haven't migrated here, but I'm pretty much done with it.

Are any companies actually present here on BSky? One of the main benefits of Ex-Twitter was the ability to have a moan by tweet. It was hit and miss but worked occasionally.
