And most importantly, public awareness is building and people are exercising their democratic muscle—protesting & building community awareness. As President Biden used to say, it doesn’t take all of us, it just takes enough of us.
I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump
Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY
And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
