If you think Trump cares about peace
more than Trump cares about Trump;
wait for his reaction
when someone else wins the Nobel Prize.

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."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Even though New York, Washington, Colorado, and Maryland can’t redistrict in time for 2026 — they need to be laying the groundwork to draw new maps for ‘28.

SCOTUS could give the GOP up to 19 new seats by striking down the VRA. We can’t be caught off guard. We need to be ready to cancel them out.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

If seeing the video of a pastor being shot in the head with a pepperball and pepper-sprayed in the face up close doesn't change this debate just a little, I don't know what will...Of course it's not on Fox or NewsMax...

Oy. I know the difference, I know what it means. Of course it's not an NGO, and certainly not the Communists' Antifaschistische Aktion.

I was asking Emily for examples of what she's referring to as local antifa groups, is all.

You didn't provide one. You're telling me what it's not.

SisterSue @sistasue.bsky.social · 16h

Uhm, yeahhh. I'm well aware.
Please see my profile 'bio'.

I was asking for an explanation re: local antifa groups.

SisterSue @sistasue.bsky.social · 17h

Antifa groups? Like, for example, Indivisible?

I could be considered a member of an Antifa group, but that's myself and a couple dozen friends and family who are Antifa.
This provides fodder for the MAGA DoJ, etc.

Please explain.

Even the professor himself uses antifa 'group'.

WTH???

“My role in this is as a professor,” Dr. Bray, an assistant teaching professor at Rutgers, said in an interview on Wednesday, hours before his planned departure. “I’ve never been part of an antifa group, and I’m not currently.

Yes, this.
He did indeed. Totally bankrolled the changes in our federal judiciary, starting back in the 80s.

SisterSue @sistasue.bsky.social · 23h

He's been bankrolling the plan to squash and reverse any and all progress America has made since the 80s.
This is his plan. He's Opus Dei, very conservative, despises equal and civil rights.

I'm not surprised.
