As you can see I've bonded with the local Buddha. He was the first person to tell me that they're not eating the dogs. No words were necessary. Have you ever seen Buddha roll his eyes?

I know a lot of people don't care about our country's history, but in history class they probably heard about "taxation without representation." Trump is doing that now, raising our prices without giving Congress any say.
TARIFFS ARE TAXES ON AMERICAN CONSUMERS!
NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It β€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

A poll-driven view of politics [and as a Data Person I often fall in that trap] can blind you to the basic human (*and* strategic) fact that the assertion of strength can *increase* strength.

The 2nd paragraph is IMHO the perfect tone for organizational messaging today.

Detroit Opera Steps Into Trump’s Cross Hairs With β€˜Central Park Five’ The Pulitzer Prize-winning opera features Donald J. Trump, whose 1989 full-page newspaper ad sought to demonize the young men wrongly accused of rape.

β€œDetroit Opera says it is prepared for what might be looming, that it confirmed the backing of board members, alerted donors, considered the risks and took stock of its core mission.
β€œThis piece is so worth telling,” said Yuval Sharon, the company’s artistic director”

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

The Executive possesses enormous powers to prosecute and to deport, but with
powers come restraints. If today the Executive claims the right to deport without due
process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will
not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?* And
what assurance shall there be that the Executive will not train its broad discretionary
powers upon its political enemies? The threat, even if not the actuality, would always be
present, and the Executive's obligation to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed"
would lose its meaning. U.S. CONST. art. II, Β§ 3; see also id. art. II, Β§ 1, cl. 8.
Today, both the United States and the El Salvadoran governments disclaim any
authority and/or responsibility to return Abrego Garcia. See President Trump Participates
in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of El Salvador, WHITE HOUSE (Apr. 14, 2025).
We are told that neither government has the power to act. The result will be to leave matters
generally and Abrego Garcia specifically in an interminable limbo without recourse to law of any sort.
The basic differences between the branches mandate a serious effort at mutual
respect. The respect that courts must accord the Executive must be reciprocated by the
Executive's respect for the courts. Too often today this has not been the case, as calls for
impeachment of judges for decisions the Executive disfavors and exhortations to disregard
court orders sadly illustrate.
* See, e.g., Michelle Stoddart, 'Homegrowns

Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a
conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The
Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent
of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from
a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive
may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic
gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.
It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it
may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naΓ―ve to believe
our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American
ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the
best that is within us while there is still time.
In sum, and for the reasons foregoing, we deny the motion for the stay pending
appeal and the writ of mandamus in this case. It is so ordered.
