Wonder why the rule of law is failing? Here are six reasons . . . the rot at the top. This is what happens when we allow government officials to operate in an ethics-free zone with zero accountability.
If we could turn our frustration into action, we could accomplish damn-near anything. What say we give it a try?
Morning, friends. It's becoming clearer by the day: Trump plans to destroy governmental institutions by appointing unqualified, incompetent, dangerous agency heads. Hey Senate, YOU have a DUTY to protect the American people. Don't check your spines at the chamber doors. Don't feed the dictator!
Morning, friends. Now that I'm here on Bluesky (and really enjoying it) if you're a #TeamJustice member or simply care about accountability, the rule of law and the need for equal justice, & you'd like a follow back, please let me know so l can follow you back. Because we're all in this together.
Hey All. I have found bluer skies. I'm now here with you all on Bluesky. Please drop me a #TeamJustice #JusticeMatters reply here & I will follow you back. Because we're all in this together.
Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today:
"The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars."
We must find & feed the points of light.
So even before being sworn in, Trump is caught lying about, and is called out by an actual leader, President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum. Trump is determined to make America a laughingstock around the world.
I stand with the men and women of the FBI who investigated the crimes WE ALL SAW TRUMP'S ANGRY MOB COMMIT on Jan. 6, 2021. They did the hard, honest, ethical work of protecting We The People & American democracy. Now it's our turn to stand with them. You in?

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it.
Let's act accordingly.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all! And remember, just 680 days until the midterms. Let's get after it. Because . . . #JusticeMatters
Niloo and I are wishing you all a happy, healthy, peaceful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for all of you - folks who value decency, kindness, empathy, inclusivity, and a country where integrity, ethics, accountability, and yes . . . justice all still matter. Friends, we ARE all in this together.
So, in trying to get his NY guilty verdict dismissed, Trump argues that continuing his prosecution would be an unconstitutional restraint on his ability to govern and do the . . . unconstitutional things he's promised to do. Yes, we ARE living in the legal upside down.
When you care about something deeply, & you see it going horrifically wrong, exhaustion is inevitable. But I've found the best antidote to exhaustion is engagement, participation, standing up, speaking out, staying strong, rallying, marching, protesting ... engaging.
Come on friends, let's roll.
Imagine if corporate media spent as much time airing Jack Smith's truthful, accurate, and credible statements about Trump's crimes as corporate media spends airing Donald Trump's lies?
Do Senate Republicans care about Trump's unqualified cabinet picks? Will they let him try to destroy the institutions of government? Or will they PROTECT the American people from Trump's obvious efforts to just burn it all down?
Trump Lawyer Tells NY Judge "Constitution Mandates Dismissal" of Trump's 34 Guilty Verdicts. The Trouble is - That is NOT TRUE! #JusticeMatters

The sad fact is this lawless pronouncement by Trump is damn-near a quote from the democracy-busting presidential immunity ruling from a compromised Sup Ct.
This is PRECISELY why Justice Sotomayor (joined by Justices Kagan & Ketanji Brown Jackson) said, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”
Morning friends. I'm so happy to be here w/you all on Bluesky. Let's focus on the points of light while we acknowledge the coming Trump darkness. Let's support & feed the points of light so that they grow stronger. We really are all in this together. And that's how we'll win. Together.
With Trump signing executive orders that violate the Constitution and violate the law, and with him pardoning the January 6 defendants who attacked and injured police officers & committed countless other crimes at the U.S. Capitol, welcome to the age of governmental lawlessness in America.
What message is being sent to the people of New York (and, by extension, all Americans) by Trump & his lawyers demanding that Judge Merchan just throw out the jury's 34 felony guilty verdicts?
Judge Chutkan has dismissed Donald Trump's election subversion case.
Welcome, friends, to the Kingdom of America.
Democracy has its work cut out for it.
WE have our work cut out for us.
