This Friday is a no purchasing black-out day, but what I will spend some money on is making donations to several legal defense funds.

My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are โ€œundermining civilization.โ€ This is my response.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Tom Homan Is Threatened by Know Your Rights Trainings โ€” Threatening AOC!!
YouTube video by Eliza Orlins Tom Homan Is Threatened by Know Your Rights Trainings โ€” Threatening AOC!!

They donโ€™t want you to know your rights. And thatโ€™s exactly why you need to.

Former ICE director and current Border Czar Tom Homan is threatening AOC for holding a Know Your Rights trainingโ€”literally just educating people about their constitutional rights.

There's no doubt he is surrounding himself with crooks. Like a mob boss, they owe him bigly. I'm most concerned about open-air espionage that they are engaging in right now. Don't take them at their word that they are just trying to cut 2 trillion dollars of wasteful spending for businesses.

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk.

Support the non-profit law orgs and small firms doing this hard work.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I loved seeing the reels of JFK tonight! I think this could be a good media strategy; lots & lots of JFK & RFK footage to rub into Trump's face.

As a new bsky user I'm finding myself being very cautious of DM's that seem like simple "Hi, how are you's?" I'm also not liking how many accts I see that do not give even a brief description of themselves. But even the ones that do, many seem contrived or cutesy. I value authenticity. Show yourself

I'm wondering if they returned money for any paid ads involved when they did that? As a nonprofit founder I have never trusted the "hit data" that FB was giving me on any paid boosts.
