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.

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.

The White House · Addressing Risks from Jenner & BlockBy the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. 

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.”'

In my view, #JohnRoberts admonished #Trump (on appeals v. impeachment) for *two* reasons. First, Roberts is an institutionalist who wants to preserve respect for courts. Second, he regrets giving Trump so much latitude in the presidential immunity case (Trump v. US).

I've been watching for other court-watchers to agree on the second point, and just saw this excellent piece by @SabrinaHaake.

"Here’s some free legal advice to Venezuelans caught up in Trump’s nightmare: Amend your complaint. File in state court. Get a state prosecutor to allege specific grounds supporting criminal liability against Trump, to give the Roberts court an opportunity to delimit its immunity ruling. Identify specific acts Trump has taken to harm you that cannot be construed as core executive functions. This will give Roberts the chance to list some conduct that is—and conversely that can never be—a core executive function, to diffuse Trump’s notion that he can get away with murder. Hint: trying to impeach a federal judge is not, and can never be, a core executive function. Lying to American citizens about a foreign invasion is not, and can never be, a core executive function."
