Every bully I faced in forty years of trying cases believed the same thing: nobody would ever call them out on their lies. They thought they were above the law. They found out they weren’t.

In 1969 Justin Hayward wrote lyrics about our lives being reduced to "magnetic ink" for "our great computer," and now, here we are on the "threshold of the surveillance state dream," big data gathering everything about us, and Ai stealing the purpose from our lives.

Staggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

Today, on day 57 of a 6 week war, the most powerful country in the history of the world is sending two failed property developers to a hotel in Islamabad to negotiate with Iran. Stop. Read that again. Two. Failed. Property. Developers. Not generals. Not career diplomats. Not Middle East scholars.

Here is a look at age 20-64 death rates by party the state votes for. It might be better to think of these groups as high, medium, and low in Democrat party power. 🧪💡☠️

With everything crazy going on I just want to remind everyone that Trump was best friends with Epstein for over 20 years.

By assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Trump has killed the spiritual leader for 200+ million Shia Muslims in the world. I don't think Trump actually understands what he has done.

The war is 100% illegal. Republicans in Congress won’t stop it. Trump & Republicans answer only to billionaires, not citizens, and they will keep it that way. CBP and ICE outnumber our military and are equipped with army grade weapons. We will not see a free election in November.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

US Citizenship & Immigration Services is an agency most Americans rarely hear about. It administers the *legal* immigration system. Under Trump, the agency has turned into an enforcement tool in service of the broader crackdown. My latest @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Here's a brief note at Law Dork from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social on this order: substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

With the release of 3 million more Epstein documents the connections between Epstein and the Russians becomes more clear. Putin was working with Epstein to blackmail American and EU businessmen and politicians.

Renee Goode’s brothers testified before Congress today. Not a single Republican member of the committee showed up.

Stunning details in testimony submitted by @vermontgmg.bsky.social to the Illinois Accountability Commission. It concerns the history, record and culture of CBP and Border Patrol. Worth a read, from beginning to end. drive.google.com/file/d/1y0im...
