Artist and Native Texan. Probably about to be a Texpat. Believes very much in the role that art plays in the progress of a civil society and the development of democratic philosophy.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.
Then she fired that lawyer.

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.
