Here’s a thing I wish we could do - leave the 20th c labels in the 20th c & try stuff that’s in line w/ shared values that might work to make people’s lives better.Klein &Thompson are liberals.Mamdani is a socialist.They agree on this (& probably a lot else) this is what coalition politics is like.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

There's no opinion from the majority because to put it in writing would be to admit the horror they are allowing to take place under this order.

"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice" Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.
lawdork.com
SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice
Justice Sotomayor called the order a "gross ... abuse" of the court's authority. Also: Law Dork in the media.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

BREAKING: Trump's Alien Enemies Act Proclamation is "unlawful," a federal judge in Texas ruled. That judge was appointed by Trump. Ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Background www.allrisenews.com/p/aea-inquis...
For these reasons, the Court concludes that the President’s invocation of the AEA through
the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and, as a result, is unlawful. Respondents do
not possess the lawful authority under the AEA, and based on the Proclamation, to detain
Venezuelan aliens, transfer them within the United States, or remove them from the country.

One of my favorite emails that we’ve gotten about the law firm tracker— Someone created a Google Chrome & Firefox extension that adds a banner at the top of each law firm’s website if they have caved to the administration or complied in advance. I love nerds!!!

Protesting matters because: -we show the fascists we will not be silenced and we are not scared -we show each other where we stand -we build community that sparks further action Don’t let anyone tell you protesting doesn’t matter.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.
