Please amplify the clear & present danger of authoritarianism from this admin. As Ruth Ben-Ghiat says, we must fight back against this authoritarian creep, Trump exhibits classic strongman tactics he’s already using to consolidate power.

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of University of Michigan Law, president of the University of Michigan, & president of Columbia University:

USPS Makes Alarming Deal With Elon Musk’s DOGE

US Postmaster General #LouisDeJoy is welcoming DOGE with open arms.
newrepublic.com/post/192777/us

"DeJoy said... #DOGE was “an effort aligned” with... shrinking the USPS,

#Musk also believes that the #USPS should be privatized...

#Privatization... would raise prices, hurt postal workers, and negatively impact #rural communities, who are served by USPS thanks to the #Constitution and federal #law."

"The states argued that #Musk violated the #Constitution by wielding power that only officials confirmed by the #US Senate can exercise under the #AppointmentsClause, & sought materials from him through a process known as discovery...

"Defendants argue that the 'inner workings of government' are immaterial to an Appointments Clause claim," [Chutkan] wrote. "The court is not convinced""

#Trump asked #SCOTUS to okay plan to end #BirthrightCitizenship

Trump asked the #SupremeCourt on Thurs to allow US ofcls to begin implementing a limited plan to end birthright #citizenship for #children born in the #UnitedStates to undocumented immigrants & visitors.

Judges in 3 states have issued nationwide orders blocking Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder, which #CivilRights groups & Democratic-led states say is clearly at odds w/the nation’s history & the #Constitution.

The states argued #Musk violated the #Constitution by wielding #power only ofcls confirmed by the US #Senate can exercise under the #AppointmentsClause, & sought the materials through…discovery.

#Chutkan said her order focused mainly on who at #DOGE was making cost-cutting decisions & how far they could go.

"Defendants argue that the 'inner workings of government' are immaterial to an Appointments Clause claim,” she wrote.

We had a huge victory today guys!

#trump was attempting to break our constitution with an illegal executive order to block birth right citizenship.

The First Circuit Court of Appeals has shot down his appeal, and ruled it unconstitutional as it should be.

So I suppose at the very least, blatantly breaking our constitution is still illegal.

"Fusion centers don’t just spread alarm about nonexistent threats, they illegally compile dossiers on Americans who aren’t even suspected of a crime, a blatant violation of the First and Fourth Amendments ... Nationally, fusion centers fostered suspicion of racial justice activists, goading police to overreact"

-E Higgins

The Trump-Musk admin is operating like the mob, but in the open, defying the law. Democratic leaders should inform the public as to their brazenness & contempt for the #Constitution.

What's more, #Musk & others in the admin are proud to defund an agency that saves lives around the world. They're sadists. Children are dying💔 bc med treatments, meds, food... are being withheld, intentionally.

In Marbury v. Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall established the power of judicial review, which is not mentioned anywhere in the #Constitution. But judicial review in 1803 was not the doctrine of judicial supremacy it has come to mean. It was merely the power to resolve conflicting laws. Today, the #supremecourt claims to be the exclusive decider of constitutional meaning, above not just the states but also the other branches of the federal government. #law #scotus senatormoobs.substack.com/p/cr

"We really should have two major parties committed to upholding the Constitution. But at the moment we seem to have none. Because ... instead of standing against the grotesque assault on our democracy ... Democrats keep trying to join in.

The latest inexcusable abdications of their duty ... involve conspiring with Trump ... with the Take It Down Act [to inflict unchecked] censorship on online speech"

@TheConversationUS In his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln profoundly said “A divided house cannot stand.”

Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant misunderstood that. (#Putin puppet) Donald Trump weaponized it. And now, sadly, #Washington has fallen.

#Insurrectionists and #fascists should never be pardoned! They should forever be *banned* from the People’s Houses - in Washington DC and all state Capitols! Like the #Constitution says FFS!

#Read and #resist to #SaveAmerica. #USpol
