One way to oppose fascism is to ensure its potential lawyer-facilitators are held to the rules – and disbarred if they do not. A long 🧵.

Michael Clayton is the movie you cannot describe and you cannot sell. But it is the movie that changes everything about how you see and how you tell.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Among other things, today’s protest is a signal to the press corps. Elites are caving to power but normal people are not. The consumers of the news are speaking indirectly to the producers of the news and making their demands of service clear. What will come of that time will tell obviously.

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Listening to an audiobook is "real" reading, and in many cases it's a better way to parse text. Both because some texts beg to be experienced aloud, and because in many cases audiobook readers can get more out of the text that way. (And I'm not even talking about accessibility!)

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.
Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
