Thinking a lot of the role of recording dissent, of the role of bearing witness. My mind goes to Sotomayor's Trump immunity dissent. "The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

It’s OK to admit that we’re off the map of our experience. The rules & best practices some of us are accustomed to, in certain situations, may no longer apply. There are some questions I lovingly refuse to answer at this time bc I don’t know. We need more humility. Some of our expertise is outdated.

Seen on my news and academic feeds today:
"This is highly illegal!"
"Where are the courts?"
"Someone needs to arrest him/them!"
"The military needs to oust them!"
"WHERE ARE THE DEMS?"
This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us.
We are all we've got.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.
Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.
Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

This is an absolute must-read. This is exactly what I was writing about here: www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2024-07...
Too many progressive organizations develop their policy positions and priorities based on the whims of funders rather than any meaningful accountability to a grassroots base.

Every bad thing about landlords really is true
Hundreds of L.A. landlords have hiked rents on desperate people fleeing the wildfires.
Landlords for at least 400 properties appear to have ignored the law and the warnings of California's Attorney General and illegally raised rents since the fires began.

Hundreds of L.A. landlords hike rents to capitalize on 'desperate' fire evacuees
Price hikes of more than 10% are illegal during a state of emergency. But that hasn't stopped landlords seeking to profit from the L.A.'s ongoing disaster.

Debt Collective members, mostly in their 60s and 70s, are begging Biden and the Secretary of Education to cancel their student loans before it's too late. These folks have more than paid off the original principal, but they remain stuck in a debt trap. Listen to some of their stories here 👇🏽
These women paid off their student debt for decades and somehow still owe more than they borrowed.
But a little-known provision gives Joe Biden the authority to cancel student debt for aging borrowers — and they’re calling on him to use it.
