Streets to screens: citizen journalists fill the gap during Indonesian protests, but face a digital foe The group outside city hall didn’t resemble journalists. Just students in faded sneakers. As the protest grew tense and police lines pressed forward, phones rose into the air. Every raised screen b…

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Book review: Exposing the forces behind anti-science aggression “Science Under Siege,” by Michael E. Mann and Peter J. Hotez, is a plain-spoken, naming-names, rallying cry for protectors of science to not go quietly into the night.

Late-night legal L from Trump, as judge he appointed isn’t buying the administration’s attempt to get around her previous ruling by directing out-of-state Guard units to Oregon.

What impact could this have on the new plan to send Texas Guard units to Illinois?

Mikie Sherrill: "There's no mistake that was made here. This was intentional ... there's really no doubt in my mind that this was fully intentional from the Trump administration to the Ciattarelli campaign to attempt to do this."

I’m doing this from memory so someone correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is Jean Lin is not someone ultra-maga just slotted in during trump 2.0; this attorney has been at DOJ for a… while.

Makes it worse that Lin just stayed and went with it

Lynching.

Hope everybody's okay in that courthouse. The news (apparently not reported many places) about Diane Goodstein (SC Judge who enjoined state from turning over voter lists to Trump administration) having her beach house burned down, with her husband and possibly other people injured, is pretty grim.

Tons of love to @katiephang.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com and @annabower.bsky.social

I just realized my news sources are mainly women.

And a whole lot of us refreshing our Bluesky feeds for updates!

There are a few of us "waiting for your host to join" right now for this hearing...

Hi @muellershewrote.com and @klasfeldreports.com and @annabower.bsky.social

oh god it’s Jean Lin again.

Lordy 😳do I have to defend you here?
Tom was warning voters to save democracy from radicalized GOP while most here were still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes.
Tom caught hell for being the bell ringer warning of, ‘The Death of Expertise,’ and now catching hell from late bloomers.

The fact this is not top story being played everywhere shows how far we’ve already fallen. Children being torn from their beds in the middle of the night should be dominating every headline - but silence is exactly how people let things happen. History shows us where this leads when we look away.

Immergut: What I'll do is not modify my original TRO but issue a new TRO that prohibits the relocation or deployment of any federalized national guard to the state of Oregon....

Wow. Judge Immergut just issued a second TRO from the bench blocking the deployment of out of state National Guard troops to Portland. This analysis is holding up well👇

BS

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

BREAKING: ICE ATTACKED
PROTESTORS AND DETAINED SOME OF OUR MEMBERS! IF YOU'RE ABLE, COME DOWN TO ICE AND SHOW SUPPORT TO DEMAND THEIR RELEASE! WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS POLITICAL REPRESSION AND ATTACK ON THE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS MOVEMENT!

We won’t know if he’s dead, other than extreme lightening of our spirits.

Miller sleeps with Trump every night he texts for him answers the phone for him changes his diaper feeds him coke Adderall then Ambien Mel is off doing Hank in New York

DOJ: CA NG is already federalized

Judge: You are an officer of the court. Do you think this is an appropriate way to deal with my order? Appropriate way of dealing with ruling you disagree with?

DOJ: Well, I'm not a policy maker

Judge: You're a lawyer

👀👀

What consistently boggles my mind about these intra-state Guard deployments is that the numbers never match the claim of urgency. "Portland is burning down" so you are sending... two, maybe three companies?
