As a law professor, I used to encourage law students to consider the DOJ for employment. I can no longer do so.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Just a reminder - it doesn’t end when Trump is gone. It ends when the entire administration is gone.

Thank you!

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

Narrator: This is fascism.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis
) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 12d

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

My brother @markrf400.bsky.social has a new taco Tuesday pack out. The NATO speech was an embarrassment, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from this administration. 😂

Most if not all practicing lawyers took an oath to support the Constitution and need to stand up. No political prosecutions can occur unless a lawyer seeks an indictment. Join lawyers like @marcelias.bsky.social who fight their asses off protecting democracy.

It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy

Trump’s prosecution order to Bondi gives up the pretense. And the country is headed swiftly into unknown territory.
