Pigs are going to do what they’re going to do, but knowing your rights can help down the line when we untangle violations of civil rights in the courts later. We keep us safe.

Is it really intentional if it’s not knowing tho? Presumably, if the attorney knew it was hallucinated they would omit the case. Maybe reckless disregard for truth. A reasonably prudent atty should know to diligently check. Computer/ai research illiteracy should bar use of the tool tho certainly.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk.

Don’t forget since 2020:

- feds kidnapped protesters in streets of Portland
- Trump ordered assassination of antifascist Michael Reinoehl
- US Marshals assassinated Winston Smith in MN
-Assassination of Tortuguita + Domestic Terrorism & RICO charges for Stop Cop City protesters

Agreed. We need to unify by allowing space for those propagandized into working against their own best interests. Drop the useless distraction of Biden vs. Rump and focus on a solutionβ€”one where the working class rises up, and we take the power back from the top. Solidarity & resistance. Let's move.

Plaintiffs claim that the Executive Orders violate the separation of powers, conflict with
statutory law, and violate the Equal Protection component of the Fifth Amendment. ECF 35.
While the parties discuss all three claims in their briefs, it bears noting that the Court "only needs
to find that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on one in order for this factor to weigh in favor of a
TRO." Nat'! Council of Nonprofits, 2025 WL 368852, at *9 (citation omitted); see also Profiles,
Inc., 453 F. Supp. 3d at 747 ("Plaintiffs bear the burden to show that they are likely to succeed on
one of their claims." (citation omitted)). Despite this, the Court will analyze all three claims.

Lawgeeks, the nationwide TRO blocking Trump's EOs that condition federal funding on discrimination against transgender people under age 19 is an excellent, systematic take-down of the arguments the administration is making in support of these vile EOs.

The terms of the Executive Orders are extraordinarily vague and could prohibit
Plaintiffs from engaging in any targeted effort to help a specific group of people facing unfair disadvantages. The Executive Orders equate banned "DEIA" with any equity-related workβ€” potentially including work that is specifically authorized or required by civil rights laws-and explicitly prohibit references to "DEI and DEIA principles, under whatever name they may appear." Without any discernible standards or criteria of what is and what is not "dangerous, demeaning," "immoral," and "illegal" DEIA,' as understood by this Administration, the future of Plaintiffs' fiscal viability and programming are subject to the unfettered discretion of an
Administration that has made clear its predisposition against any speech or action that advances equal opportunity for historically marginalized groups, including people of color, women, LGBTQ people, and/or people with disabilities. Such vague terms without sufficient standards or criteria
deprive Plaintiffs of their due process rights under the Fifth Amendment.
9. In addition to violating Plaintiffs' free speech and due process rights, the Executive
Orders have a clear discriminatory purpose in violation of equal protection: to malign the targeted communities; to undermine and dismantle a wide spectrum of policies, programs, and activities intended to help historically marginalized, underserved, and under-resourced groups; and to erase
transgender people from public life.

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Beyond political affiliation. Oppressors vs Oppressed

LA STUDENTS WALK OUT AGAIN-

High school AND middle school students have taken over the streets in front of LA city hall for the 5th straight day of anti-ICE, immigration rights protests. This won’t be slowing down anytime soon

When is the rest of LA going to start joining them?

2. Remember histories of collective struggle so you can build solidarity.
3. Stay getting prepared, be ready.
4. Defy and dissent at every level.

So many other strategies and lessons, but I’ll share those four for now.

Sharing some lessons from the
Korean people who impeached, arrested, and indicted the president for his abuse of power:

1. The People first went for the those that were under him who went along with his plans. Because once you get the henchmen, there's no one for the top to call on anymore.
