"Will Trump succeed? Are we doomed to an autocracy in democratic drag? Not necessarily. To resist Trump, we need to rewire democracy to revive democracy. This requires a move away from moral abstractions and liberal hand-wringing to local political campaigning, non-violent civil disobedience and active social mobilization." theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int

The justice system more and more just seems like vibes. You go to one judge you get one vibe. You then go to the next judge and get a different vibe. People literally pick judges for their complaints based on judges' vibes. Rarely do judges all seem to understand the Constitution and laws consistently. Is it that hard to understand? Hence, their decisions seem most often to be just whatever they personally want to have happen. To that end, sometimes they come up with the most ridiculous bases, like when that hateful misogynist Samuel Alito cited a 17th-century witch hunter for a ruling that would be used to kill, maim, and ruin the lives of thousands or hundreds of thousands of women and girls. I mean for crying out loud. This country is fucked. Congress is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump fascism, and the Judiciary is polluted with racist, misogynist, corporatist vibers who just make stuff up. Don't take that as me giving up, because I'm going to be out there with you on No Kings Day. But that's MY vibe at the moment. #democracy #justice

The order also would require #states to exclude any mail-in or absentee ballots received after Election Day & puts states’ federal #funding at risk if #election officials don’t comply. Currently, 18 states & Puerto Rico accept mailed ballots received after Election Day as long they are postmarked on or before that date, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The order is the culmination of Trump’s longstanding complaints about #elections. After his first win in 2016, #Trump falsely claimed his popular vote total would have been much higher if not for “millions of people who voted illegally.” Since 2020, Trump has made false claims of widespread voter fraud & manipulation of voting machines to explain his loss to Democrat Joe #Biden. [when really he’s just a sore loser]

"When the Sect of Homeland Security announces that federal forces will remain in an #American city until they “liberate” it from its democratically elected officials—you know, #democracy, that annoying thing where people actually get to choose their own leaders—then... her security detail violently throws to the ground & handcuffs a sitting #US Senator... we’ve officially entered the “are you fucking kidding me” phase of American #fascism."

Casper cited arguments made by the #states that the requirements would “burden the States with significant efforts & substantial costs” to update procedures.

The ruling is the second #legal setback for #Trump’s election order. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., previously blocked parts of the directive, including the proof-of-#citizenship requirement for the federal #VoterRegistration form.

“The #Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over #elections,” Judge Casper wrote.

Casper also noted that, when it comes to #citizenship, “there is no dispute (nor could there be) that U.S. citizenship is required to vote in federal elections & the federal voter registration forms require attestation of citizenship.”

The #state AGs said the directive “usurps the States’ #constitutional #power & seeks to amend #ElectionLaw by fiat.” The #Trump admin defended the order as “standing up for free, fair & honest elections” & called proof of citizenship a “commonsense” requirement.

Judge Denise J. Casper of the US District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday’s order that the #states had a likelihood of success as to their #legal challenges.

AP News · Judge blocks Trump’s election executive orderA judge in Massachusetts has blocked President Donald Trump’s election executive order, siding with Democratic state attorneys general who called it overreach. The Republican president’s March 25 order sought to compel officials to require documentary proof of citizenship for everyone registering to vote for federal elections, accept only mailed ballots received by Election Day and condition federal election grant funding on states adhering to the new ballot deadline. The attorneys general said the directive “usurps the States’ constitutional power.” The White House has defended Trump's order as “standing up for free, fair and honest elections." The judge says the Constitution doesn't grant the president any specific powers over elections.

Paul Krugman exposes the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" as a cruelly regressive law designed to enrich the ultra-wealthy while slashing crucial services for the poorest Americans. The CBO warns of significant economic losses for low-income households, with no deficit reduction in sight. This reflects a troubling alignment with authoritarian practices, prioritizing Trump over democracy. Discover more insights in the full article.
