Judge dismisses Trump lawsuit against Maryland-based judges over handling of immigration cases The Trump administration alleged that the court had no authority to issue a standing order that imposes an automatic, two-day pause in deportation cases.

A sweeping and powerful opinion by United States District Judge Thomas Cullen dismissing Trump’s absurd lawsuit against the entire United States District Court in Maryland. Before MAGA starts whining again about β€œrogue left-wing judges,” they should look up who nominated Judge Cullen to the bench.

The worst behavior driven by the usual greed for money and power at the expense of those they are supposed to serve. Shame, shame.

We’re here at the airport as Mahmoud Khalil returns home after over 100 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights.

Welcome home, Mahmoud! ❀️

J. D. Vance Warns Courts to Get in Line The Vice-President says it’s time for Chief Justice John Roberts to step in and make judges behave. He’s wrong.

J. D. Vance described federal judges pushing back against the new Administration as an attempt to undo the election results. But polling suggests that Americans are happier with the judiciary’s performance on that score than they are with the President’s.

Thank you ACLU and Democracy Forward for boots on the ground.
Supporting you is one way to push back where it counts.

Going to ground as prices go up. From outside today, young hostas and some henbit deadnettle. Expanding foraging to other edibles as we await the warm weather mushroom bounty.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
