So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

[Patrick Gaspard @patrickgaspard]

It’s impossible to get through this Cesar Chavez story without getting physically ill. Shaking. One of the most excruciating ever. Damn.
Hearts out to these brave women.
“In the end, they said that the story of Chavez’s movement was their story, too — of the women who marched beside the men, worked in the fields, took care of the children. The movement, they said, was more than one man.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

Love going to twitter to see if I was being dramatic or if there really was just a minor earthquake in New York...

A political system that requires you to have 60 Senate votes to cancel student loans or raise the minimum wage but only 50 votes to enact the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history.

Judge Paula Xinis is no longer playing with the administration on the Albrego Garcia case. She's going to conduct a thorough two-week inquiry, which can involve administration officials being forced to testify.

“We’re going to move. There will be no tolerance for gamesmanship or grandstanding. There are no business hours while we do this… Cancel vacations, cancel other appointments."

This is the most important thing happening in the government right now. They get away with this, there's no limits. This is where the current line of defense is.

If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next?

This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

[Charles Kip @RedactedIguana]

I don’t want to be alarmist, but the Trump administration refusing to enforce a 9-0 Supreme Court order against violations of due process is the thing. We keep hearing “fascism won’t announce when it’s happened” but this is it. If this goes through democracy is dead

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Everyone should be crystal clear about what is happening here. Trump is disobeying a unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court to help pave the way for sending U.S. citizens to an El Salvadorian gulag without due process or recourse

[Symone D. Sanders Townsend @SymoneDSanders]

IMO anyone who is unwilling to raise the alarm about what was said in the Oval Office today is not ready to meet this moment.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The President wants to send Americans who vandalize Teslas to a foreign prison where people are tortured and starved

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

Hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here."

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Thinking a lot lately about Justice (Robert) Jackson's dissenting opinion in Mezei, especially its discussion of the importance of due process even (if not especially) for those the government claims are "dangerous":

I think now it’s very appropriate to reiterate that elections have consequences.

Kamala Harris: "While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign ... the fight for our country is always worth it"

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”

[Bessie @caribwayoflife]

IF Sherrod Brown (a legitimately really good senator that actually responded to constituent concerns) loses to a used car salesman who stole wages from his employees, we have really lost the plot and I don’t think we find it again.
