The idea that the Court should operate entirely in secret is a modern phenomenon. The idea that the Court should be separated from the public is a modern phenomenon. Earlier generations did not accept a powerful, isolated & secretive Court and we shouldn't either 1/6

Every new thing I learn about Francis Perkins convinces me more she is the best model for how to make just, effective government happen. Thanks, @elizabethwwilkins.bsky.social, for raising this example
Little known fact: One of the first things Francis Perkins did was defund and restructure immigration enforcement to dismantle a goon squad and rebuild a system of humane immigration processing.

I get the impulse to push for more, harder, faster, but it's worth noting here: the lawyers for both the state and various other plaintiffs have been working their asses off at absolute breakneck speed today.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

A year ago today was the start of violent, terrorizing raids in California’s rural Central Valley. Violent federal agents were hunting down farm workers like animals.
Today, they’re in the streets of Minneapolis. Our communities should not be enduring this. None of us are safe until all of us are.

In the early 90s this Jewish family kept getting harassed in Montana, so the entire town of Billings put up menorahs in their windows in solidarity
Now Ahmed al Ahmed is part of this tradition too, as he figuratively did the most putting up of a menorah in the window that a human being can ever do

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.”
Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.
