Screenshot of a TikTok video and caption reading: Fascism week update. I have not commented on the Charlie Kirk stuff previously to this because I’ve been seething. But Jimmy Fallon was essentially fired last night for his commentary (where he said NOTHING that was not objectively true) and I have about had it. I don’t even care about Jimmy Fallon, but I care about what this means for our country. Censorship is the hallmark of authoritarianism and fascism. Whatever the right *thought* cancel culture was, this is actually it. And no, I didn’t care enough to reverse my video so you could read these sticky notes. Figure it out. #politics #lawstudent #fucktrump #jimmyfallon #charliekirk

I know it’s not a surprise, but TikTok is suppressing Charlie Kirk/Jimmy Fallon discourse in an incredibly blatant, nearly unbelievable way (if it weren’t so fucking believable).

Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Telling the Truth About the Supreme Court The task of interpreting the law is inherently “political.” But no justice has been this comfortable saying so in public.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump

The Guardian view on Trump’s shock therapy: warehouse and transport workers are the first victims of a class war | Editorial Editorial: Behind the slogans and tariffs lies a calculated strategy – fuelled by elite interests, eroding labour rights and stoking global recession

"But Maga protectionism isn’t rebuilding US industry – it’s shock therapy. Mr Trump engineers a trade crisis to hike prices, kill off “uncompetitive” firms and clear the way for a leaner, capital-heavy economy." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This has been beyond the pale for a long time but I can’t tell you just how bad Trump 2.0 has been for the average American worker. We are going back in time in the worst way. Enjoy your coal mines, I guess.

Law Students Call on the Legal Profession to Defend the Rule of Law | ACS

I was proud to sign on to the ACS memo defending the rule of law and the legal profession, alongside over 1,000 other law students. This is a reminder that now and always, the choices we make are morally ours whether they happen at work or home. Stand strong.

www.acslaw.org/inbrief/law-...

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

This has been a bumper sticker on TikTok for weeks. I still think it’s great but it’s funny this is the first time some people are seeing it.

A sign painted up as the Greenland flag, that reads Greenland Belongs to Greenland

I don't want Greenland, I want Medicaid on a sign

Say what you like about Donald Trump, but he's done wonders for Greenland awareness

Lotta great signs here in Milwaukee

Utah Ex-Therapist Scott Owen Sentenced to Prison for Sexually Abusing Patients Owen’s 15-year-to-life prison term follows a 2023 investigation by The Salt Lake Tribune and ProPublica that uncovered a range of sex abuse allegations against the ex-therapist, who claimed to be a…

The LDS church repeatedly referred men with “same-sex attraction” to Owen for counseling.

Instead of providing therapy, his patients told @sltrib.com and ProPublica, Owen sexually abused them.

Add it to the extremely long list of sexual abusers that the LDS church has failed to report, actively protected, or otherwise enabled in their abuse.

I went to CPAC so you didn't have to... Once a year, the far-right's most zealous followers put on a circus. From the convention floor, to Steve Bannon's private after party, here's what it looked like...

Unbelievable that we’ve let people this objectively uncool ruin our country.

If you think this is cool, I can't help you.

Department of People Who Work for a Living I just joined the @AFLCIO Department of People Who Work for a Living. We’ll be ensuring the federal government works for working people and isn’t destroyed by billionaires like Elon Musk.

The left can no longer leave labor behind. Begin thinking about collective action if you aren’t already. Start here:

An efficient facism does not require much direct state violence. It merely requires the assurance that private violence aligned with the desires of the regime will go unpunished.

Look at this completely unsurprising and predictable outcome of having no accountability for law enforcement officials. This happens *all the time* and until we start firing cops and guards who behave this way the VERY FIRST TIME they do, people will keep dying.

Normalize giving women money for no reason. My Venmo is open to anyone who needs it. Except Matt Gaetz.

Yup, it’s actually a good one this time. Democrats need to get their shit together.

This article threw me for a loop. Just misses the point entirely. Women aren’t sacrificing their happiness to prove a point. They are realizing, collectively, that men were not actually making them happy. Systemically or individually. This is a ridiculous take.

This is the sort of thing you do when a dictator is rising to power. Just FYI.

Ahh, so everything seems fine. Totally fine.

Wray missed the “do not obey in advance” memo.
