John Adams literally represented America’s enemy the evil British redcoats after the Boston Massacre because he believed in the right to representation and a fair trial. And guess what happened? The jury acquitted 6 soldiers and the remaining 2 were charged with manslaughter. Due fucking process.
"You don't deserve due process if you're a criminal" has got to be among the least "American" arguments the government has put forward in a century

Okay, as someone who does the “no-makeup” makeup look, Bukele is totally wearing makeup.
He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.

This is *extremely* alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid.
“White House fires a career prosecutor” is itself unprecedented.

![Though U.S. attorneys are political appointees who often ally with the agenda of the current presidential administration, line prosecutors like Schleifer are normally considered career employees. But since taking office, the Trump administration has made a point to drive those seen as political enemies from all levels of the federal government.
"This is the most overtly political firing I've seen in my time at the Department of Justice," said Palmer, the former federal prosecutor. "I could absolutely see it having kind of a chilling effect. I also think current prosecutors are concerned about the ability to have free speech. An AUSA [assistant U.S. attorney] who I spoke to said they are concerned that the only people who will be allowed to stay are Republicans or very quiet Democrats."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wufsdxzvzx36d7wppganbvpw/bafkreidwoty6rsibzeinn72q7r3h76kazos766qlxl5bvhaiejvwwaid6m@jpeg)

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
