We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

If you are perchance contemplating working a scab nursing contract while Kaiser nurses strike: consider not doing that. It undermines everything they are working to improve. Also, fuck scabs.

NEW: A Ninth Circuit panel temporarily permits the federalization but NOT the deployment of National Guard troops in Oregon, in advance of tomorrow's oral arguments.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In the circumstances here, granting an administrative stay will best preserve the status quo. Prior to the October 4 temporary restraining order, Oregon National Guard members had been federalized but not deployed. The Memorandum
authorized federalization of the Oregon National Guard members. An
administrative stay of the October 4 temporary restraining order will maintain the
federalization of Oregon National Guard members, because that order prohibits
implementation of the Memorandum. Additionally, the second temporary
restraining order has not been challenged or appealed, and it prohibits the
deployment of National Guard members in Oregon. Thus, the effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members have been federalized but not deployed.
Administrative Stay GRANTED.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 7d

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

"Do something, bitch" were his exact words.

This administration is not going to deescalate people. The number of folks attending No Kings is going to increase and the cowardly dolts are gonna either back down or turn this into something far nastier that they will also lose.

We will win.
