When #Trump returned to office, his rivals & #law enforcement ofcls feared he would follow through on his pledges to use the #DOJ & #FBI to investigate & even imprison perceived enemies.
But since winning re-election, Trump’s retribution campaign has turned out to be far more expansive, efficient & creative than anticipated. It has also been less reliant on the justice system.

The New York Times · In Trump’s Second Term, Retribution Comes in Many FormsBy Michael S. Schmidt

A brave journo from The Atlantic went undercover to investigate the “improper ideology” being peddled by the DC zoo. An enjoyable read.

“Why Is Trump Mad at the Zoo?

In search of “improper ideology” among the animals”

“The zoo’s website calendar does show that last year, and for several years prior, it also recognized International Family Equality Day. Local LGTBQ organizations participated in the event, and some described it as “Gay Day at the Zoo.” As part of the festivities, guests were able to watch a beaver or seal eat rainbow-dyed ice cake.”

A Playbook for Standing Up to Trump:

“The three law firms that have filed suits to block Mr. Trump’s executive orders — Jenner & Block, Perkins Coie and WilmerHale — provide a model. So far, they are winning in court. Importantly, they have won the backing of many conservatives. As our counterparts on The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board wrote, Mr. Trump’s campaign against law firms “breaks a cornerstone principle of American justice.””

'European Union regulators are preparing major penalties against Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, for breaking a landmark law to combat illicit content and disinformation, said four people with knowledge of the plans...

The penalties are set to include a fine and demands for product changes, said the people, who declined to be identified discussing an ongoing investigation. '

European authorities have been weighing how big a fine to issue X as they consider the risks of further antagonizing President Trump amid wider trans-Atlantic disputes over trade, tariffs and the war in Ukraine.

Amen.

“Why You Should Work Like It’s the ’90s

When you leave the office for the day, really leave.”

“Employers should stop pretending that doing business at all hours isn’t an imposition on employees, even if it is sometimes a necessary one. Let the person delivering the message bear some of the cost, too.”

👀 😥 In Toronto Library contract negotiations "Key bargaining points were 'safety & security', 'harassment' & 'workplace violence.' … public libraries have been pressed into service as de facto homeless shelters & support service locations. They’ve become hotbeds of people in crisis.

It's #homelessness all the way down."

Trump is about to make the Toronto homelessness crisis worse:

Cory Booker Condemns Trump’s Policies in Longest Senate Speech on Record

The New Jersey senator spent much of his speech, which ended after more than 25 hours, assailing the Trump administration. He eclipsed Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of a civil rights bill in 1957.
