Today my law firm filed to intervene to fight DOJ's lawsuits to access confidential voter data in Colorado and Hawaii. We are now fighting to protect our clients' sensitive data in 16 of the 18 cases filed by DOJ (plus Fulton County). I expect we will file in the remaining 2 (DE and MA) this week.

An excerpt from The Washington Post's interview with photographer Christopher Anderson:

Question: "Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?"

Anderson: "I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, 'Should I smile or not smile?' and I said, 'How would you want to be portrayed?' We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, 'You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.' And I looked at him and I said, 'You know, you do, too.'"

I dunno, I’m thinking the bigger issue is not having an insane sick fuck POTUS with insane sick fuck thoughts.

Grateful for the endorsement from IfNotNow Chicago and the Justice Coalition.

This campaign is about naming harm, rejecting the influence of power and money, and showing up with real action.

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

Remember when Harvey Weinstein suddenly became frail and infirm in a desperate attempt to gain sympathy?
I wonder when Trump and MAGA make the pivot from "healthiest President to ever live" to "shame on you for harassing this frail senior citizen! Dems hate the elderly!!!"

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The State and Finance Capital have always had a dark and incestuous relationship. Another example is the payment processors around the world now deciding what is permitted to sell, or not. They've always been in bed together, it's simply more obvious sometimes than others. ☭

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?
