"We cannot have a judicial system where the government seeks to remove judges simply because they do not rule as the government desires. Considering the increasing physical threats to judges, these are clearly efforts to intimidate judges and our courts. The courts are a co-equal branch of our government, and they must be treated that way. We call upon the government and our elected officials to cease making these statements. Government officials know they can appeal decisions they do not like. That is the appropriate way to disagree with a decision of a court."

“He got away with it. So he expects, reasonably, that he can do it again.”
#Trump & his allies are using their drive to slash the size of the federal work force to break the bonds of #restraint. To do so, they are deploying a strategy of #intimidation, #punishment & #coercion. They have silenced #watchdog agencies, discharged prosecutors, forced resignations & dismissed government officials whose job it was to maintain #ethical standards.

“No #patient should have to encounter #threats, #intimidation, & #attacks while seeking #healthcare — & no #medical provider or health center staff should be threatened because of their work to deliver #abortion care to patients in need….Buffer zones & bubble zones help to create a safer environment for patients, providers, & staff.”

I’ve been #muted by some of my followers for talking too much about the danger #Trump is to the world.
We can’t ignore the #corruption, the #intimidation of #allies, the cosy relationship with #WarCriminals & #SexPredators, #Trump saying he is above the law - we need to point out what is wrong with #USPol right now - not ignore it - or the #RWNJ’s will think such behaviour is acceptable.

Depuis quatre ans, l’Observatoire parisien des libertés publiques a suivi les néo-voltigeurs à la trace. En résulte une analyse fine et accablante: derrière son style puisant dans les répertoires de la chasse, du film d’action, du virilisme et de l’intimidation, la BRAV-M constitue le pire du modèle policier à venir.
