Trump is flagrantly defying the Supreme Court

White dudes in their late twenties/early thirties coming to the realisation that they aren’t special or unique and nobody cares about their unremarkable life or dubious beliefs

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

No, the Defense Department Did Not “Ignore” a Judicial Order in 1973 Cambodia Bombing Case I argued the Holtzman case. Nothing in Holtzman v. Schlesinger suggests that the military, acting under Presidential instructions, is empowered to ignore court orders.

Truth sandwich

The President does not have power to ignore the courts.

John Yoo and Robert Delahunty essay recently invoked Cambodia case claiming Pentagon "ignored" a court order.

The legendary Burt Neuborne sets the record straight in this brilliant essay. (Burt argued the case in 1973.)

But the woke DEI!

Inflation coming up, unemployment up, stocks anemic, tariffs on the horizon, and egg prices continuing to soar.

Trump is horrible at this.

Some Trump critics: "I think Trump wants to be a dictator."

Some Trump fans: "Well, Biden acted like a dictator."

Uh, no he didn't. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourselves at this point.

Aw ragequit

If FDR could caucus with Stalin to beat the Nazis, I can work with Dems. Grow up

The entire fiasco with Trump being allowed to run again is entirely because he appointed half of SCOTUS in 2018 and the Dems judges were the minority.

I'd expect you to not attack your allies. Honestly, you guys could capitalize on the moment and further embed yourselves in the party structure to advocate more leftwing policy but you're kicking your allies while they're down. And you're further cementing that leftwing politics dies in America.

Biden isn't president anymore and the Dems are a minority. So why attack them now when the opposition is at the gates?

I mean that's the intention but it doesn't quite land.

The Delaware senator who transformed Joe Biden’s view of transgender rights Sarah McBride, the nation’s first transgender state senator, has been a major force in forging the president’s worldview of LGBTQ rights.

They did.

And there you are on the sidelines. Not doing anything to help that person stop the guy. Instead you reserve your criticism for the person doing something. Not the guy who actually kicked the dog.

Perfect analogy.

How did they throw you under the bus? They're the minority party, the Republicans are in control. Again.

There's not a lot of nuance when the choice is survival or death. That's what the Black Community learned the hard way.

When the Civil Rights Act was going through, they threw their support behind any moderately progressive candidate to make up for the inevitable loss of White Working class voters

No she wasn't. Even before election night polling aggregators had it a tossup with Trump slightly favored.

Because the policies weren't polling well and people like you don't understand that when a politician moves to the left you have to reward them. If you don't they'll look rightward for voters which is exactly what happened.

No, you're a both sidesing socialist which is actually worse. The Dems will never be good enough to reward or defend.

This endless wave of criticism for Dems only has only enabled Republicans. Because the Dems have no one in their corner whereas Republicans have literal brownshirts.

The Dems are safe to attack. Rich people don't give a fuck what we say until we tax them lol.

The tepid "both sidesing" and refusal to give the Dems any reprieve is pretty telling.

The fact you can't even give them props for approving gay marriage (which was supposed do die on the vine in 2010) is gilding the lily.

All I can really say at this point is good luck. Attacking your near allies over the people trying to kill you isn't a winning strategy

The reality of politics is that you reward the closest aligned to allow more room on the left. But you seem adamant on making demands without any carrots or sticks
