I remember. I was on the steps of the courthouse when oral arguments were heard covering the protests. What a time in history. Many couldn’t fully appreciate the importance of the moment regarding the direction this court would take.

A Grand Jury Again Declines to Re-Indict Letitia James

Everyday Americans sitting on grand juries prove to be rational and decent and decent in the face of a broken corrupt cruel regime.

"It was a striking rejection of the administration’s retribution campaign."

Judge Says Trump Must End Guard Deployment in Los Angeles

Do not give up! Despair and apathy is exactly what tyrants need. Hope and courage is what brings democracy and decency back.

I honor these courageous judges. Only a fraction of cases get to the Supreme Court; the lower court decisions truly matter.

And I honor the activists for their courage.

The first reporter to speak up, interrupt, and call Trump out to his face while he is berating, insulting and personally attacking another female reporter for no reason will be a national hero. You may lose access, but you will be a legend forever. At some point, someone has to.

Yep. Sure does. Further, these guys obviously don’t regularly read your timeline.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

These grand jury materials will β€œnot add to the public knowledge.” A judge says Trump misled the public and disregarded the victims.”

Gorgeously clean image! A lot of pics with trees in front of the water don’t work all that well unless they’re off to one or both side, but this is perfection.
