Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy.
There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was.
Today is one of those days.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.
it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary.

When will you realize it’s a coup? When they come for your neighbor? When they imprison your family?

Musk wants to inspect our IRS data to catch everyday Americans committing tax fraud—an overreach of DOGE’s power. Personal tax data has nothing to do with government efficiency.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.
The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.
At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.
Nothing should be "business as usual."

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.
It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.
Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.
Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

what’s your favorite instance of haptic nostalgia—the poignant memory of the physicality of an obsolete thing—like dialing a rotary phone, shifting gears in a manual transmission, opening a soda can with a pull ring?
