The Attorney General has put the judiciary on notice after two judges were arrested for helping migrants.

So how much more fascism will Americans tolerate before they actually do something.

    throwing judges in jail seems like the very definition of “contempt of court” to me …

      Judges aren’t supposed to be infallable, 20 minutes of watching Court Cam should have taught anyone that.

      with that same principle in mind, I dont know how the same system can make a cabal of “supreme justices” and indemnify them absoluteley. (SCOTUS)

      Now while you dont see Clarence Thomas jumping over the Judge Bench and throwing hands with attorneys like what you’ve seen on A&E shows every couple of months. He did take a staggering amount of Bribes. Still Untouchable.

      Im not in any way agreeing with that Christofascist Bondi, but Im saying Judges are not untouchable, and shouldnt be.

        Of course judges that break the law should be held to account. But the Trump Admin is arresting judges who simply don’t agree with them, and take (legal) actions they don’t like. That is the critical difference. Trump wants the law to be whatever he says it is.

    Every judge is calling her bluff rn

    It’s so apparent this admin doesn’t talk to one another. They’re all off just huffing ketamine and running their mouths.

      I attended an anti trump rally openly carrying a sign and a firearm, what have you done?

      Have you protested outside of Tik Tok or an Internet forum? Have you called your representatives and demanded they do more than hold up a tiny paddle?

      Fuck, I get keeping your head down, hell that was my going in plan for the next four years but fuck me if were not getting into China levels of totalitarianism much quicker than expected and Americans are barely making a squeak. Honestly it’s very pathetic.

          Brain damaged or not, call them anyways. Literally the least, the absolute least, you can do. Otherwise, just keep reading that poem until it’s too damn late

        For me, it’s tough. I’m in a super blue state. Everyone here, with one notable exception, believes Trump needs to be stopped.

        You can guess who: 😏

        But protesting HERE doesn’t mean much. Like I say, WE KNOW. We mostly all agree. We also protest all the time, for no reason at all.

        Same for Washington, same for California. I guess we could pack up and go to Idaho to protest, but they strike me as the kinds of people who won’t look kindly on folks from another state telling them how to vote.

        If there were a giant protest in D.C.? That might get attention.

      Most of us have been fighting since day 1 when he took office. Even if you do not think we are.

      I myself work in Higher Education, and we’re at war.
