Happily retired journalist, ex-Newsweek and The American Lawyer. Now I cook and bake, talk to grandchildren, read, and try to find new ways to be useful. Love working with students on their essays.

@kristygreenberg.bsky.social helpful reminder about Boasberg’s order. Is there a procedure to lift an administrative stay?

HANDS OFF AMERICA
Much of the focus on today's events will probably be the large rallies in big cities
But make no mistake
It is the smaller rallies
The local rallies
That will be the backbone of this movement
Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Trump is telling law firms he’ll ruin them if they don’t submit.
He wants to bring down our justice system.
Because that's what dictators do.
When they say they want to kick out immigrants to protect "good American jobs," this is what they meant

We need a scorecard.
