Fish around in this bombshell. Pam Bondi also squashed the Robert Kraft Human Trafficking arrest in Florida as a favor for Trump. She made it all disappear. Witness' (They were deported) video evidence too. She has been a fixer for Trump for years. Other links below. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.

Now there is a further wrinkle, and I hope all UC researchers with federal grants read this: This injunction may need to be enforced.

UC FACULTY: If you see something where the federal government violating this injunction.... say something.

Tell your faculty association, who can tell the lawyers.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

Great read from the Status Kuo
"...There is still no justice for the murdered victims, the investigation remains politically tainted, and many residents illegally detained and transported to concentration camps have yet to be returned home..."
But there are wins
Taking the Wins
There’s good news to report on many fronts, and we should not only enjoy them but understand what they mean going forward.

Repeat after me:
An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.

Also:
Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections
Trump’s follow up post says he’s going to issue an executive order on voter ID.

“If we can't get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order.”

Jeffries: "Republicans have clearly come to the conclusion they cannot win fair elections, so they've adopted voter suppression as a strategy. Which is one of the reasons we're making sure there's a clear separation between DHS & ability for state officials to ensure there are free & fair elections"

Higher electricity costs for consumers is on purpose — paying back Trump’s big donors with your money. They hope you won’t see their game.

Louisiana candidate filing closed today and the Democrats got a candidate in all six Congressional districts.

The GOP did not get a candidate in #LA02 (Harris+32), making it the 2nd congressional district that the GOP have failed to contest this year. The Dems have not let any go uncontested yet.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

This post is really taking off. I know the Thanksgiving detail is grabbing, but I would encourage everyone to also read the full article about this family’s struggle at Dilley.

They’ve been locked up for 130+ days.

I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.
