Perilously close to being a retired lawyer. Alternative facts are lies. Clean water, plumbing, a place to sleep and healthcare for all is more important than another yacht for anyone. Human rights are civil rights. Climate change, don't get me started. . .

TWO YEARS AGO THE REFLECTING POOL WAS REFLECTING, THE EAST WING EXISTED AND WAS WELCOMING VISITORS TO THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE, AND THE KENNEDY CENTER WAS FINANCIALLY STABLE AND ARTISTICALLY THRIVING. GASOLINE WAS SEMI-AFFORDABLE AND USAID WAS SAVING HUMAN LIVES ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Mohamad Safa UN This is not Hiroshima, this's Gaza. Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives, equivalent of ~15 "Little Boy" ATOMIC BOMBS, on Gaza. The world hasn’t seen anything like the destruction in Gaza since Second World War. 💔😢💔😢🤬🇮🇱♾️

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

NEW: A Texas woman died after being denied an abortion and her family sued the state and her doctors for violating her right to life. They say the ban should be struck down. It's one of several cases challenging abortion laws under state constitutional rights to life and liberty @autonomynews.co

New Lawsuits Argue That Pregnant People Also Have a Right to Life
Lawyers are fighting abortion bans in state court by establishing that pregnant people have a right to life and liberty—or at least self-defense.

Russell Vought cannot be given the power to decide what science is funded. He knows nothing about science; in fact, he seems to hate it and everyone who does it. And he has all of the worst characteristics of humanity. The Republican Congress is a fucking disease.

Russel Vought will reportedly be given veto power over all NIH grants

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]

New research links major fisheries declines to compound climate extremes rather than isolated events alone. Repeated or overlapping heat and climate stresses can create much larger ecological disruptions.

Trump's war on free speech isn't going anywhere. The WH is committed to no coverage from mainstream media. Committed to prosecuting public engagement in democracy. Last year alone, Trump initiated hundreds of censorial attacks on dissent. I wrote about my findings: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

The legal fiction that corporations are people is laissez fare fiction. People aren't immortal,companies are. People convicted of crimes are imprisoned, a corporation pays a fine and remains free. The death penalty can take a human life, not so with corporations that have been made super citizens.
