Statement on the arrest of Courtney Williams, a brave and patriotic truth-teller who has committed no crime and, if there is any justice in the world, will soon be free from the clutches of Trump's rogue DOJ

@sethharpesq Alas, we've seen stuff like this before. Let's make sure she gets a very good lawyer.

[Nan Levinson @nanlev]

As usual Trump leads the news & as usual reporters take him at his words, as batshit nuts as they are. Here's an idea: Let's not! Or at least let's not cover his #IranWar‌ the usual way prezes and their wars are reported. Some alternatives‌ in my latest at https://t.co/gI3Rh0xVG8

@WhiteHouse Sheesh! My book about the post 9-11 resistance in the military is titled, War Is Not a Game. Guess I've been proven wrong once again.

[TomDispatch @TomDispatch]

@nanlev at TomDispatch today: U.S. military enlistees, reservists, and part-time military members have the power -- as individuals and supportive groups -- to resist what they know to be wrong when Trump and Hegseth order them to do something. https://t.co/AlBdtP2AAV

Fa la la la la and all that jazz. 'Tis the season (isn't it always?) for Doin' the Right Thing Rag https://t.co/xCCMKhyAUe -- my latest at #tomdispatch

“This is just not what any of us signed up for, and it's so out of the scope of normal operations.”

As Trump calls for National Guard deployments, a small contingent of Ohio guard members has been quietly expressing concern.

How to rein in all the unacceptable policies and actions coming out of the #WhiteHouse? How about an #epidemic of massive passive aggression? (Peaceful, of course.) https://t.co/D8FcCYGWtD

So long Only Murders in the Building, alas. Just cancelled my subscription to Hulu to protest the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Hulu's owned by cowardly (or is it greedy?) ABC/Disney & enough is ... more than enough. A small gesture but small acts add up & grow. Join me?

#Trump acts as if his #ExecutiveOrders are unassailable edicts from on high. The news media shouldn't. As I quote legal scholar Alan Rozenshtein in my latest piece https://t.co/84Z4DVtnQF.
They're "just press releases with nicer stationery."

#Trump's pulling funding from #Harvard is as much about curbing #antisemitism as Covid was about clearing our sinuses -- and other truths for the news #media & the rest of us in my latest at https://t.co/84Z4DVtnQF

Resisting This Fresh Hell - https://t.co/cpfegGMe6v • Nan Levinson: It’s time to focus on the majority of the electorate who didn’t vote for Trump and who still think democracy is worth working toward.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

At a packed town hall Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern proposed a general strike to combat the Trump administration's assault on the federal government.

[Nan Levinson @nanlev]

@MeidasTouch Great! Let's organize this energy into effective resistance now. https://t.co/e0wPmBwjDp
