I’m adding the Alien Enemies Act and screenshots of my discussion of FDR’s EO 9066 & how Trump may employ the statutory authority of the AEA & SCOTUS cases to assert Martial Law. The original has links to the relevant law+cases. Executive Orders apply only to the executive branch, but statutory

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

The Maga way! 💩

I don't think there's been a cruder or coarser campaign than Trump and Vance's this year.

Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar, with degrees from the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Columbia. 84% of Rhodes Scholars are Democrats or Independents, compared with just 14% Republicans. It’ll be great having Abdul in the Senate.

You're also conflating diagnostic biopsies with tissue removed separately for research. Skloot documents that Henrietta wasn't informed or asked for consent. Johns Hopkins acknowledges this. Scientific breakthroughs don't retroactively establish informed consent.

And the estate sued for unjust enrichment. In 2024, a federal judge allowed that claim to proceed without deciding whether Henrietta owned her extracted cells. Your property-law argument doesn't resolve consent, exploitation, or your claim that race was irrelevant. 🦁

We need a new constitution that sets ongoing standards for education, physical, & mental health for all elected & appointed government officials.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

I feel like I just wandered into a third year law class that I didn’t register for.

Frederick Douglass offers a timely counterpoint: “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” Those who possess power may define the rules, but those subjected to them can challenge their legitimacy. Liberty isn't merely defined from above; it's contested from below. 🦁

But “stopped and questioned about their status” is not what’s happening. They’re being violently thrown to the ground, kicked and punched, and being told “I don’t care” when the victim says they are a citizen. We’ve all seen the videos.

Agreed. Sotomayor raised that objection in her dissent. Kavanaugh described brief stops and citizens released after proving their status. She cited Americans seized, assaulted and detained despite identifying themselves as citizens. His legal framing obscures their lived reality.

Now we're getting somewhere! Paine wrote, “My own mind is my own church.” He opposed religious authority over individual conscience. The Family raises the question of who defines liberty—and for whom. That same question complicates Paine's revolutionary America, where African enslavement endured.

Grolaw, I'd widen the lens. From Franklin's colonial alliances with religious institutions to today's Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, and Family, the question is how religious authority, wealth, and private networks shape public power. Who defines liberty—and for whom? 🦁

Who pays for treatments like LYFGENIA, who qualifies, and how many Black families living with sickle cell disease can realistically obtain them?

Probably because it was DCA.

There's a delicious irony in needing to translate Thomas Paine's English into contemporary English to understand what he meant by liberty. 🦂

I live in a very blue part of a blue state. A woman from my town went to DCA with a loaded gun in her purse. www.tsa.gov/news/press/r...
