What Fresh Hell

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback.

Thanks and Happy Pesach!

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Make it make sense

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight.

We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

I'm game! I've heard nothing but great things about it. Plus, like you said... Rob Lowe. 😍

View from Whitley Bay to Tynemouth in the UK.

Golden light on the rugged shore,
Where waves embrace the rocks once more.
A fishing boat drifts, slow and free,
Upon the whispering twilight sea.

Clouds roll in with dusky hue,
Framing ruins, old yet true.
A castle lingers, lost in time,
A tale of past in evening's rhyme.

The UN has reported war crimes and acts of genocide in Gaza, including attacks on women’s healthcare and sexual violence as a weapon of war. I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary to ask for clarity on what the UK will do—especially if British nationals in the IDF are implicated.

Hundreds Of Social Security Numbers Made Public In Unredacted JFK Files The Justice Department is also reportedly pushing for the accelerated release of records related to the surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr.

Genius Trump, excited to release the JFK files to distract from his failures in court, published the personal birthdates and Social Security numbers of 400 people, including people in very high profile positions in Washington, lawyers, and politicians! What a bunch of blundering buffoons! 3 Idiots!

there were multiple reporters outside of the institute of museum and library services today as DOGE invaded their headquarters, but not a single elected official.

something to consider when thinking about who’s actually defending democracy.

What Does the U.S. Department of Education Do?

🔹 Distributing Federal Funding –

Now that they're taking over private nonprofits with a history of government support, what could be next?

American Red Cross
Scouts of America
Veterans of Foreign Wars
PBS
Amtrak

Was your house or education subsidised by the government? It's an outrageous stretch, but these are outrageous times.

Did your Democratic senator betray you yesterday by voting to give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government? Let them know you’re outraged by their decision to cave to extreme GOP demands, and that they’ve got some work to do to win back your trust: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

BREAKING: The DoD has scrubbed Charles Roger’s Medal of Honor article. This Vietnam hero, wounded three times, led his troops to victory at Support Base Rita. Nixon gave him the medal, but now it’s disappeared.

Keep lifting up Jasmine Crockett & all the Dems fighting for us!
She’s dropping truth: Chuck Schumer isn’t the only brain in the room, & Dem AGs & Governors keep racking up wins in court. Meanwhile, Trump? He’s a loser with a capital L. The law will prevail. Don’t give up.

Ah yes, this aged nicely...

How is this prediction going so far?

BREAKING NEWS: "Constitutional Crisis" As Trump Administration Seemingly Ignores Court Orders To Stop Deportations This weekend, the Trump administration ignited a firestorm by sending planes loaded with Venezuelan detainees to El Salvador, defying a federal judge’s explicit order to turn the aircraft around

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele boasted on social media that 238 deportees had arrived and were now confined in a “Terrorism Confinement Center” for at least a year. “Oopsie … Too late,” he taunted, a post amplified by White House communications director Steven Cheung.

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.”

The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are.

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countries—many under authoritarian rule—where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.
