This is just disgraceful piece for the @wsj.com to platform. Where’s the bottom?

Are the optics of Musk holding court in the Oval Office while Trump sits quietly in the corner of the frame supposed to persuade us that Trump is in charge

This is the doomsday scenario Justice Stevens warned about in his dissent in Citizens United v. FEC. It was also an inevitability after the decision in Buckley v. Valeo, 34 years earlier.

A foreign-born billionaire threw his money around and bought the presidency. He now wields unaccountable power.

We are getting into uncomfortably biblical territory here

The worst part about having gone to law school because of trump 1.0 is now I *truly* understand just how bad trump 2.0 is.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

We call upon our elected representatives to stand with us and to insist upon adherence to the rule of law and the legal processes and procedures that ensure orderly change. The administration cannot choose which law it will follow or ignore. These are not partisan or political issues. These are rule of law and process issues. We cannot afford to remain silent. We must stand up for the values we hold dear. The ABA will do its part and act to protect the rule of law. We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

Trump: "I would own this [Gaza]."
Brett Baeir: "Would the Palestinians have a right to return [to Gaza]?"
Trump: "No, they wouldn't."

Trump plans on committing multiple, and unprecedented, war crimes.

What's annoying is since 1980 conservatives have made steady progress in getting what they want: deregulation, concentration of wealth, weakening unions. This recent psychosis is the result of them winning too much, not too little

i swear someday i will find steve pilates. and i will kick his ass

Ahhhh so excited to read this one!! Thank you @torbooks.bsky.social 💕

I'm fine with libs pointing out that things are "against the law" or whatever, but the tone gets so fucking grating and their language betrays a total lack of understanding of what authority actually is (and always was). Please reckon with the fact that the state was ALWAYS just centralized violence

About 3/4 through an ARC od @eveewing.bsky.social's book Original Sins (thanks @netgalley.bsky.social) and damn it's good. Absolute must read!

Netgalley no longer supporting devices that aren't Kindle is giving end stage capitalism. 'We know you're trying to move away from Amazon but WE WON'T LET YOU'. This will only hurt both readers and authors, and encourage piracy.

If you want to avoid the Amazon ecosystem and are willing to get used, unclaimed baggage.com is a good option! I got mine for $30
