📣 Even as I'm typing this my son, who's in from college for Thanksgiving, is phone banking for @aftynbehn.bsky.social's campaign.

If he can do that, surely a few folks can chip in a last-minute buck or two to help her flip #TN07, right?

Great example of Trump-appointed appellate judges swooping in, as Madiba says! This case is included in @peoplefor.bsky.social's Confirmed Judges, Confirmed Fears series, documenting how his judges and justices are harming civil & human rights in America. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/trump-appo...
Three GOP appeals judges swooped in last week to lift a lower court order which told the Trump admin to stop brutalizing protesters, priests, & press in Chicago

I played the connect-the-dots game to see how they justified their decision--it's a hot mess, tbqh!
