New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 23h

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

People can get very creative when making excuses for why they can’t stand up to fascists. Stay away from them. It’s infectious…and spreads quickly from one person to the next.

Me; How's everything?
Friend; "Great!. We've had a great summer. Life is good."
Me; Are you watching what's going on in DC, Chicago, Portland?
Friend; "Not really. Don't want to know. It's too depressing."
Me; Will you be doing the "No Kings" thing Saturday?
Friend; "What's that?"
