From a short-game point of view, it’s not a bad idea to let the current president feel like he’s had a bit of a win…

This is such a cynical, wicked action by the USA, they should collectively be ashamed.
Those poor people, betrayed by the politics.

it’s the hysteria that’s so amusing. But equally tragic and the reality check that their vote, is worth the same when deciding our collective futures.

We are still astounded that Americans voted for him. It is outrageous what he is doing and it will have far reaching consequences in the world. Still, we are in a universal season of change & how you all vote after Trump, is what will matter most. Good luck dearest darlings.

It’s beyond vulgar, this just lacks humanity, compassion or any other civilised conscience.

My open letter to Elon Musk.👇

Mr. Musk,

You recently criticized me and another prominent lawyer fighting for the rule of law and democracy in the United States. I am used to being attacked for my work, particularly on the platform you own and dominate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

My Open Letter to Elon Musk

From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)
