@serge @raf Yeah well. . . Internet. 
To be clear, though: I was just making a specific point about your comment "they can't call for violence", noting that you can, actually, unless it rises to the level of incitement. Other than that I'm with you all the way. #Khalil is a bad actor, but due process for murderers ⇒ due process for Khalil ⇒ due process for you and me. Give up one and you've given them all up.

"'Deplorable': French scientist denied US entry over text messages criticising Trump
French officials have expressed their dismay after a French scientist was denied entry into the United States because immigration officers found text messages containing a "personal opinion" about the Trump administration and its policies on scientific research."
Turkey isn’t a dictatorship.
(Is what people who want to stay out of prison say in Turkey.)
@ProPublica Important story! Creepy to read Vought's words that show clearly that #fascism is a death cult.
In Turkey, one of the prerequisites for running for president is to already be the president.
Gangster Populist governments around the World all need to be torn apart and devoured like something out of Ken Russel movie.
Fuck these *both-sides* centrists.

"Is your red line when they defy a court order? When they declare martial law? When they arrest political opponents? When people start being disappeared off the streets?
Do they have to target your family, your neighbor, or your community before you decide it’s worth your effort to take action? Do they have to start arresting journalists? Politicians? Judges? When will you feel, 'OK, that’s the last straw'?"

Even amid a Republican assault on our democracy, these Democrats crave bipartisanship. Their desire for “decorum” makes them losers in a battle against right-wingers who care nothing about norms. Republicans fight dirty – such as packing the Supreme Court – yet Schumer & Co. won’t take off their velvet gloves. To MAGA, they’re useful idiots. To democracy defenders, they’re useless or worse.

Rather than denounce the clear and present dangers to our country, many business, religious, media, and other elites continue to support Trump and Musk. Some do this by staying silent, while others follow hollowed-out GOP politicians and Christian nationalist charlatans in claiming that the smash-and-plunder operation masquerading as a government is “saving the nation.”

MILITARY LAW CLE: March 20th, 5pm
Presented by NLG-Bay Area Military Law Panel
How Can You Help Military Dissenters Resist the Trump Agenda?
One hour of free MCLE Credit for California Attorneys
Date: Thursday March 20th, 5-6 pm
Location: Zoom https://nlgsf.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/mailing/url?u=13163&qid=2202975
Trump and Musk can give orders, but they rely on a compliant military to enforce their agenda. Historically, service members are often outspoken leaders of resistance and refuse orders which compromise their moral integrity. They seek legal assistance from the Bay Area Military Law Panel (BAMLP), the local working group of the Military Law Task Force (MLTF) of the National Lawyers Guild. to understand both the consequences of dissent and how to separate from the military. We expect an increased need for legal counsel as service members are ordered to carry out deportation policies, suppress domestic protest, and enforce the administration’s global agenda.
This program will be an overview for lawyers, law students, legal workers, counselors and medical care providers who want to advise and represent active-duty personnel who engage in protest activities, speak out against illegal or immoral policies, or resist illegal orders.
No prior military law experience necessary. Veterans welcome. No court litigation expected.
Facilitator: Jane Kaplan, Esq., Pro bono military lawyer
Panelists: Rai Sue Sussman, Esq., Pro bono military lawyer
Jeff Paterson, founder and former executive director of Courage to Resist
Tia Christopher, Honorable discharge due to PTSD related to military sexual trauma, recognized by the Obama White House as a Woman Veteran Champion of Change.
