Why can't we have reporting like this in the States?

give me a prize for how peaceful i am or i'm going to fucking destroy you

I’m not fearless but I refuse to trim my opposition to Republican Fascism out of fear.

One on one with the PDX Protest Chicken:
They’re not getting the chaos footage—they look absurd.
We won a TRO from a Trump-appointed judge.
An OR Guard general even said troops would protect protesters.
Portland’s real story
—discipline, whimsy, savvy
—is breaking through.

another bold defense of free markets and personal liberties

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

Tish James is an American hero and exactly the kind of leader we need in this moment. We stand behind her 100%.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

this is table stakes for anyone who enjoys seeing themselves as a leader of a political party or movement

you do not want to be running in a Democratic primary as the guy who was like "sure Trump has his flaws but let's not go overboard with our criticism." Not next year, not in 2028, not ever.

Perry is now taking on the idea that Trump's decision is not subject to judicial review.

She says 10 USC 12406 permits federalization of guard troops in three instances, "not whenever he determines when one of them is met," Perry says.

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

Targeting opponents for prosecution is a threat to the #RuleOfLaw and dangerous. In this case, the resignation of a prosecutor who refused to act against the evidence is a warning sign that this action is untethered from the facts and law. I stand with AG James.

Good time to read @mollyroberts.bsky.social:

“It’s hard to imagine a worse case than the one against James Comey—until you see the one against the attorney general of New York.”

👏👏👏👏

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

New statement from AG James:

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

"I am not fearful — I am fearless."

There are certain hypotheticals you simply never get to test out. This seems to be an exception. How will a judge and later a jury treat an indictment if you had to fire multiple prosecutors before you could find someone to bring an indictment. I guess we'll find out! www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

From the Supreme Court opinion granting Trump immunity:

"Investigative & prosecutorial decisionmaking is the special province of the Executive ... allegations that the requested investigations were shams or proposed for an improper purpose do not divest the President of [his] exclusive authority"

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Could not be more clear the president wishes he had unilateral power to imprison people, like in an absolute monarchy

He doesn’t so instead he’s forcing the govt to bring charges against his enemies because he wants vengeance

Nakedly corrupt, the sort of thing that necessitates removal from office

Been there, AG James. Stay strong.

The reported indictment of NY AG Letitia James is chillingly frightening. James secured verdicts against Trump and his private company for fraud, violating New York State law. He’s not using the full force of the U.S. government to retaliate against her.

Trump is a dictator.

@heidilifeldman.bsky.social on why it's important to pay attention. We may need this information to rebuild our democracy.
