Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

We needed hope. Wisconsin came through. Thanks to the people who made it happen: the voters, the volunteers, the perfect candidate in Susan Crawford, @benwikler.bsky.social and @wisdems.bsky.social who organize ALL YEAR ROUND. They know we don’t just get a democracy. We have to make one. EVERY DAY.

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

John Authers on "Liberation Day" stunt: "The best analogy in my experience was the Lehman Weekend of September 2008, when traders left on Friday knowing that their world might change if Lehman Brothers couldn’t be rescued by Monday. It wasn’t." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

Cowards and charlatans --

 

When historians look back on this period the thing that will puzzle them most might be how little American law firms, universities, media, etc, really cared about defending free expression when presented with the most obvious opportunities to do so.

Setting up a US sovereign wealth fund with no authorization from Congress would also be illegal. Great start for Paul Weiss’s pro bono efforts.
