In my essay “Conscience Leave” I talk about the “should I stay or should I go” decision that lawyers working for a deviant government face. I’m starting to workshop a bigger paper called “The Law of Quitting” that picks on similar themes. scholarlycommons.law.emory.edu/faculty-arti...- NEW: The top Trump-appointed proseutor in MN says his office is dropping "pressing priorities" to manage crushing immigration workload. His short-staffed office is doing constant overtime and bouncing between contempt hearings. The bleak assessment: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

- Reposted by Jamie FoxThe most predictable outcome of the Trump's hostility to immigrants is mass outsourcing of those jobs from the United States. This is another example of damage being done to the economy which will be hard to reverse in a few years when people finally figure out how badly Trump screwed things up.

- Reposted by Jamie FoxThe most important part of the Rehmet campaign (in my humble opinion as a local political scientist whose opinion nobody asked for) is that Rehmet ran as a union man. Rehmet is a union president, and this was an unapologetically pro labor campaign.

- Reposted by Jamie FoxI get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

- Reposted by Jamie FoxI said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”
- This is total BS. The supporters of Heller/Bruen like Roy would never say the general rule should be that police can kill people legally carrying unless the person notifies them first. Because they don’t want that rule for themselves. They just think people of color and the left should be murdered.

- Reposted by Jamie FoxReminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
