Exactly. Just wanted to say I found this insightful. A key part of historical American success is that every branch, department, and individual completes their role in the same true reality. They may differ in political opinion, but they all have the same facts.

Trump mucks it up by asserting a different, false reality every day. Nobody can guess for sure what it will be, except MAGA 🙄.

Honest people, regardless of poltics, will eventually find themselves an enemy of the clown.

It’s true that the supreme court often bows to Trump, but the DOJ has lost frequently this year in the lower courts. Even there, traditionally the DOJ wins nearly all their cases. However, Bondi’s DOJ has been so incompetent that they’ve lost a record number. So many, that DOJ attorneys are losing their deferential rapport with judges.

It’s not perfect, and justice remains incomplete and slow, but the courts are jamming up the overreaches.

One great source of information and hope is Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket series which frequently covers these topics.

It reeks of desperation. He knows he’s running out of time. We need to keep the pressure up on every front.

I wonder how long before he fires Bondi. There aren’t enough DOJ resources to chase every case he demands. And with virtually all of them being meritless, she has no hope of winning them. Sadly for Bondi, Trump hates losers. It makes me misty eyed to think of her future career 🎻

Very much so. It’s critical we sustain this pressure until the fascists cave. Don’t give them an inch.

Cowards will be cowards I say, but us simpletons don’t understand the high stakes and day to day pressures of a modern multinational corporate conglomerate. They have profit margins, investor boards, and mergers to consider. Heavens! What good is free speech if they don’t make more money this quarter than they made last quarter? Please, good people of the Fediverse, won’t somebody think of the shareholders?

In addition to cancelling, which is the MOST important thing:

What about uninstalling their apps?

App providers can see the number of installations on the different platforms (Apple, Roku, Android, etc). That count falling will further raise their disquiet. Leaving an app installed or continuing to use the service before the cancellation is processed could send an unintentional message that maybe this is all just temporary and we’ll come back in a couple of weeks after the news cycle plays out.

In 2003, it was my dream to play FF7 in Linux. In 2019, my dream came true. Thanks Proton, Codeweavers, Wine, Valve, et al for helping me finally put down Sephiroth right.
