He has refused His Assent To Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

If you're a lawyer or a law student, there's a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to thoroughly documenting this abuse of the legal system and the Constitution, and making sure it isn't swept under the rug or forgotten.

If you want to know more, contact @omrimarian.bsky.social or me.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Can’t remember for the life of me which Chinese poet/sage started off his book with something like “I’m gonna say some reckless things, so you should listen recklessly” but damn if that isn’t a Poster’s Creed

Re-reads, with a couple of decades between them, are as interesting as new reads.
We can measure ourselves, the way we have changed, or what we most value, through experiencing a book again.

Could not be clearer that we’re in a moment of almost universal elite rebellion against any kind of restriction or limit. You saw this shift in all the rhetoric too; Trump I was all about the little guy but everyone dropped that and started talking about grindset and being “aristocratic.”

rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · 15h

one interesting thing is the collapse of mass support for trump before he took office. his in-person events were sparsely attended. his conventional fundraising (donations in the dollar to thousand dollar range) was more or less nonexistent.

Trump I was a grassroots phenomenon. Trump II was elite.

Republican rhetoric all week was clearly aiming to either depress turnout or inspire visible maga pushback. Neither happened and the press doesn’t seem particularly interested in exploring the implications of that.

A few points on Trump and Hegseth and everyone else who murdered Colombian fishermen on a Colombian boat in Colombian territorial waters:

1. Colombia has jurisdiction.
2. There is no statute of limitations for murder.
3. Colombia has an extradition treaty with the US.
