“Marco Rubio is currently the acting Archivist of the United States” is a phrase that should come with a content warning I’m about to have an aneurysm
I just remembered that records from Trump's first term become subject to FOIA on Jan. 20, 2026 through the National Archives. It'll be really interesting to see if Trump tries to stop that.
Marco Rubio is currently the acting Archivist of the United States, a title he's held since February.

Recall that a very conservative news outlet purchased SCOTUSblog in April. thedispatch.com/article/disp...
Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?

Make this happen. Hear me out—this might help my parents & others dissociate MAGA with the Reagan-era GOP that forms their core political identity. Chip away at their party allegiance to a party that no longer exists.

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.
Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?
Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.
