What's the betting that this *will not* be applied to the likes of Lee Zeldin's & Ed Martin's representations to get those Citibank accounts frozen, but instead the DOJ will be weaponized against any lawyers who oppose the #DonaldJTrump mob?

Enjoy the statement that any foreign national who engages a lawyer *must* be lying; & the attainder retribution directive against any lawyer and all xyr associates for daring to oppose the president.

With each protest that grows, the superpower of the people becomes stronger and stronger. We know a mass movement can and will save this country. The only question is when. The answer seems clear. We will begin to win when enough Americans reject Trump's fear mongering, which is his one and only tactic.

Together, we create strength. Find a way you can stand up today!

All of those #Hollywood #movies and #USTelly programmes where the characters talk about where some war veteran cashes xyr benefits cheques are about to be anachronisms.

Not that scriptwriters endeavour to match reality in stuff like this. They still think that 'phone calls cannot be traced once cleared. Characters will be cashing government cheques in movies and on telly for decades.

How do you get all of the Congressional purse strings under the control of the executive branch?

By getting those people who have statutory authority to pay money out, but who also have statutory authority to delegate that task to their subordinates, to all decide that Linda Chero in the Department of the Treasury is that one single delegated-to subordinate.

31 USC 3321 permits this.

This is the third executive writ of attainder being imposed upon a U.S.A. law firm in 2 weeks, resulting from a personal grudge by #DonaldJTrump .

Observe the collusive silence that continues to emanate from most other U.S.A. law firms.

First they came for Perkins Coie, then they came for Paul Weiss, now they have come for Jenner & Block. And the lawyers did not speak out even though they *are* lawyers.

There's a reason that tyrants hate protests. We know why Vladimir Putin has essentially eliminated any ability to gather in large crowds that don't support him. Large protests empower people to feel strong, to demand change. They show that it's safe to oppose authoritarianism.

FrameLab · Harnessing Collective Power to Overcome Trump’s Fear TacticsPower in numbers to defeat Trump's strategy of fear

'The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a petition filed by young climate activists who argued that the federal government’s role in climate change violated their constitutional rights, ending a decadelong legal battle that saw many of the plaintiffs grow from children and teenagers into adults.

The landmark case was filed in 2015 by 21 plaintiffs, the youngest 8 years old. They claimed the U.S. government’s actions encouraging a fossil fuel economy violated their right to a life-sustaining climate.

The case — called Juliana v. United States after one of the activists, Kelsey Juliana — was challenged repeatedly by the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations, whose lawyers argued it sought to direct federal environmental and energy policies through the courts instead of the political process.

Julia Olson, chief legal counsel for Our Children’s Trust, the nonprofit law firm that represented the plaintiffs, said the impact of the lawsuit “cannot be measured by the finality of this case alone.”

“Juliana sparked a global youth-led movement for climate rights that continues to grow,” Olson said in a statement Monday. “It has empowered young people to demand their constitutional right to a safe climate and future. We’ve already secured important victories, and we will continue pushing forward.”'

Fear mongering, plus the media's compulsive need to share it, and even the urge to reshare the horrible things he says to stoke our amygdalas thinking we're turning people off to Trump are actually creating conservatives. Science demonstrates that feeling safe makes people more tolerant, progressive, and liberal. This is why the situation we face right now is so perilous.
