Macron has this right too: ‘The second thing is that in our societies, we must also rediscover a sense of respect, particularly respect between all citizens and towards those who hold democratic office.”

Abe Newman @abenewman.bsky.social · 3d

7/End result: Macron calls for a new enlightenment -- the end of dependence on US social media. Not because of economic argument (level playing fields) but because dependence threatens national security. Hate to say I told you so but @himself.bsky.social and I did.

"Europeans, let's wake up!" — Defend Democracy

Great thread, paying attention “The EU wants AI to become a ‘strategic asset’ deeply integrated into its institutions, industry, and security policy.”

Reads like it’s from The Onion. “America's Finest News Source”

Isn’t this news from The Onion? “America's Finest News Source.”

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

I love hearing this!

Now that looks just like assault with the intent to kill a defenseless protester from behind.

That’s a lot to say for Pritzker. Good for him (hope this quote is real), if it’s real, he needs to get Billionaire Angry. Imagine what Bloomberg would have done when he was mayor of NYC?

This Is What Autocrats Dread. In the U.S. every citizen who wants to see our democracy succeed has a role to play. Great opinion piece to read on how how democratic movements have succeeded. Takes courage, unified opposition and determined youth. Remember these examples…

Incredibly fascinating ‘parlor game’ for your next party. If you read it, I guarantee you’ll be able to identify the person in the room who will is or will ‘go nazi’ immediately.

Plenary Popehat Power @kenwhite.bsky.social · 6d

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Same for me I had no time to read the @chrisgeidner.bsky.social article but could not put it down. I really appreciate his work.

Jan_Morgan @janetmmorgan.bsky.social · 6d

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social has parsed Judge William Young’s ruling with such exceptional care, I truly hope Bill Young gets to read it and enjoy 😉

a) this is a really good, insightful piece, and i continue to recommend Law Dork as a means to stay on top of US legal developments

b) "Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty" goes so, so hard. I have been thinking about it since yesterday

NEW: Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era.

Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America.

Today, at Law Dork:

Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era

Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Also: More court pushback.
