Doing some independent research as I try to pivot back into the legal profession after some time out, and finally read Children of Men: The Roberts Court’s Jurisprudence of Masculinity by @profmmurray.bsky.social …. SO good and so illuminating about what is really going on with SCOTUS recently.
Just found out @leahlitman.bsky.social is a romance reader on the latest @strictscrutiny.bsky.social and I’m here to say you need to know about Naina Kumar, Texas public interest attorney turned romance novelist! 😊 Flirting with Disaster is my fave 💕 www.nainakumar.com/home/books
Sea caves
I wrote two books covering the Trump/Epstein case:
1) HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)
2) THEY KNEW (2022)
They lived up to their titles. The crimes are in the public domain. Powerful people did nothing to stop them.
Now I've got a sea cave to kayak, so go read my books and learn something. See ya!
The murder of U.S. citizen Sayfollah Musallet by Israeli settlers in the West Bank parallels what American settlers did to Indigenous people. From the time of the American Revolution, US citizens squatted on tribal land in violation of treaties & US law. This is how the US constantly expanded.🧵
KBJ is out of fucks to give
Trump’s #AlligatorAlcatraz is on Miccosukee land. During World War II most Japanese internment camps were on reservations.
Ppl have a hard time seeing tribal sovereignty as relevant to other social issues, but it’s all connected.
Disaster.
Good morning, winning is possible, the establishment is beatable, millennials can lead - it’s a great day to take the first step and consider running for office. runforwhat.net

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
A very funny thing about living in the UK is that there is a “No Kings” protest here but because the UK does in fact have a king they’ve asked protestors not to use that language. It’s “No Tyrants/No Clowns” 🤡😅

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

The UK has been pretty lax on covid vaccines/boosters in my view as someone who lived in the US for the worst years of the pandemic - I still got a free Covid vaccine on the NHS *because* I was pregnant. Honestly. The stupidity in the US under this administration continues to intensify. 🤦🏻♀️
I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions.
This is such a huge story.
Inspired to finally go get our library cards at the local library - opened by Mark Twain in 1900 - after starting @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ‘s The Last American Roadtrip this week. 📚
"Perhaps that’s the first thing we need to acknowledge to ourselves: nothing will feel like enough because everything we know and love is at stake. No individual’s actions will be commensurate with the threats we face. But we can each endeavor to do the next right thing, whatever that means for us."
The only real question in the U.S. right now is: fascism — yes or no. About a third of the country feels like a hard “yes.” (Scroll through X-Twitter and it seems like even more.) But is there a large enough share of the other two thirds to push this autocratic nightmare back before it’s too late?
Really wild and disheartening to see people who think of themselves as ‘liberal’ defending the government for kidnapping an anti-genocide activist off the street. How people manage to not learn the most straightforward lessons from the worst episodes in history is beyond me.
Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.
I despise the Democratic Party.
Growing up evangelical taught me how many fellow white people are actively hoping for the apocalypse/end times, so 😅😩 strong death cult vibes in the white Republican sphere
❗ literally if you deprive people of nonviolent tools for change like the right to vote and the right to protest, what tools do you think remain
now I'm NOT SAYING...I'm just sayin.
The Sovereignty Project is hiring! After a brief hiatus from briefing, we are taking on new projects (and a bit overwhelmed at the moment).
Should you know of a lawyer with a penchant for teaching and an appreciation of Indian Country, please share widely.
