Today, as the U.S. celebrates its independence, I can’t help but reflect on the complexity of what this day really means—for me, for all of us.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
That quote stays with me—especially today.
Let’s celebrate the 4th with clarity, courage, and commitment to a better, more honest America.
Lead by Example, Fall by Hypocrisy
Senate Democrats stood up & won parliamentarian rejects GOP’s attempt to limit courts’ contempt powers
the Senate Republicans’
provision, tucked into the thousand-page MAGA bill passed in May, would have required anyone suing the federal government to pay a bond before a court would be allowed to use its contempt power to enforce rulings. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5363225-senate-parliamentarian-rules-out-contempt-provision/ #BigUglyBill #JusticeMatters #judicialpower
@godpod The deeper tragedy isn’t just who’s in the files—it’s how quickly public outrage gets buried when power is involved. Survivors deserve justice, not apathy. And no one—no one—should be above accountability.

Now would be a great time for all Federal judges to band together and figure out how to stop Trump’s abuses and hold him accountable.
Brad Schimel, her opponent, is an extreme MAGA politician who
will weaponize the court to strip away fundamental rights. He
supports banning all abortion with no exceptions. He let a
massive backlog of untested sexual assault kits go ignored,
failing survivors. He even cut sweetheart deals for sexual
predators, blaming victims instead of delivering justice.
Just signed up to write some #PostcardsToVoters for Judge Susan Crawford

In #Canada - we have federal & provincial & municipal governments giving annual budget increases to bigot cops while not giving enough funding to real community safety & wellness associations & initiatives.
In Canada, all levels of our colonial governments have tried to criminalize environmental & human rights activists, while actively sharing same backroom bribery beds with corporations/private interest groups to continue doing damage to our communities & our shared natural environments.
In Canada, we have our governments actively involved in ongoing #capitalist & terrorizing actions on many impoverished communities, many of them Indigenous, in Global South.
I won't celebrate any colonial holidays. I refuse to participate in glorifying #colonialism in any form.
I want to see some justice & more corrupt colonizers imprisoned, in my lifetime.
Jack Smith Doubles-Down on Trump Gag Order Request.
Glenn Kirschner asks,
But Does Anyone Believe a Gag Order is Enough? #JusticeMatters https://youtu.be/nXq8AyXeU9s?si=pph6vKL_ecBlTOcw
I think we need to implement something like cones around his arms so he cannot reach his phone to send another threat.
@dangillmor If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck….well, most people can easily figure out the rest. #JusticeMatters #AileenCannonIsCompromised
@skykiss Since those two won’t recuse themselves, maybe it’s time to put pressure on the remainder of the justices so they, in turn, put internal pressure on them. There has to be SOMETHING that can be done.
No one, and I mean no one at any position, should have a lifetime appointment without some removal oversight. We now see where this gets us. #JusticeMatters #ScotusIsCorrupt
@Free_Press Hitler was sentenced to 5 years prison time and served 9 mos. Everyone remember how that turned out?
I would recommend 5 years incarceration, no early out, followed with 3 years supervised probation.
I think that would be fair based on 34 felony convictions and a lifetime of ruining others lives and skirting the law. #JusticeMatters

Waiting for the verdict. “That was hard.”
@GottaLaff If he didn’t like the outcome or direction it was going, or thought everyone was lying, he could have testified himself. #truth #JusticeMatters

..a bigger issue than whether #Pickton survives is the potential destruction of the #evidence.
“I act as legal counsel for 16 children of nine women who were killed by #RobertPickton,” he said. “It’s in their interest to preserve the evidence seized by the #RCMP on the Pickton farm to allow my clients to prove that Robert Pickton & #DavidPickton caused them to suffer loss.”
@DemocracyMattersALot FK! “Seeks a meeting….” 
Come ON SJC, fight like the #MAGAts. Asking just burns a bunch of cycles of time. Ask them with a SUBPOENA! Ask #Alito with a SUBPOENA even if the Rethuglicans block it. It gets on more eyeballs and ups the pressure. #JusticeMatters #SCOTUSIsCompromised
Judge Aileen Cannon setting NO trial date for Trump is institutional insanity. Time to roll up our sleeves & file “Complaint of Judicial Misconduct” forms, available at https://t.co/ilXfNqEa4m.

@michaelgemar @GottaLaff So, anyone think it could’ve been leaked to NYT by his lawyers or by DT staff? I do! I wouldn’t give them another name…period. He’ll (they’ll) do ANYTHING if they think it’ll benefit DT. Rules be damned! #JusticeMatters
Allen Weisselberg handcuffed in court before being sent to Rikers Island for 5 months.
WE NEED to see more photos of convicted criminals being handcuffed & sent to prison.
The entire country needs to see more of these. #JusticeMatters #uspol

@w7voa She’s playing cat/mouse with JS. She can STILL dismiss case after sitting the jury. Then JS can do nothing because of double-jeopardy and case is over.
Other point…PRA is a civil statue, this is a criminal trial so it doesn’t actually pertain in any way.
@dangillmor Everyone does judicial accountability a massive disservice by referring to this as a ‘hush money case’. You’re correct, it’s felony campaign finance criminality. #JusticeMatters
