“That Senator Kelly may be an ‘unusually staunch individual’ does not minimize his entitlement to be free from reprisal for exercising his First Amendment rights,” Leon wrote. “Senator Kelly was reprimanded for exercising his First Amendment right to speak on matters of public concern.”

Leon, an appointee of President George W. Bush, wrote in a scathing, 29-pg ruling that #Hegseth was trampling over the #FirstAmendment rights of #MarkKelly & that his moves are an impermissible form of government retaliation.

Together, the #GrandJudy declination & ruling from senior US District Judge Richard Leon represent major impediments to efforts by aides of #Trump to use the levers of government to punish Sen #MarkKelly, a retired Navy captain & former astronaut, over his participation in the video.

The decision landed 2 days after a #GrandJudy in Washington, DC, declined to approve charges sought by federal prosecutors against the #Arizona senator & several other Democratic lawmakers who taped a video last year warning that “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” & repeatedly implored service members & the intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”

Judge says #Hegseth is unlawfully retaliating against Sen. #MarkKelly over ‘illegal orders’ video
A federal judge on Thursday shut down #Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth’s attempts to punish Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly over his urging of US service members to refuse illegal orders, ruling that the #Pentagon chief’s actions were unconstitutionally retaliatory.

📧🙈 A judge just ruled that the Education Department’s auto-response #emails were more politically charged than a Twitter spat—violating the First Amendment! Now, bureaucrats everywhere are wondering what happened to the good old days when out-of-office replies just said, "I'm away from my desk." 😂🚪

This bill mandates a notice-and- #takedown system that threatens #freeexpression, #userprivacy, and #dueprocess, without meaningfully addressing the problem it claims to solve. The “takedown” provision applies to a much broader category of content…contains no protections against frivolous or bad-faith takedown requests. Lawful content—including #satire, #journalism, and #politicalspeech—could be wrongly censored.

Judge orders #MahmoudKhalil's case transferred from #Louisiana to #NewJersey
March 19, 2025
Excerpt: "Rejecting the administration's bid on Wednesday, District Judge Jesse Furman ruled that, since the district of New Jersey was 'the one and only district in which Khalil could have filed his petition" seeking his release from detention, the case must be transferred there rather than Louisiana.
"The judge also upheld his 10 March order barring Mr Khalil's deportation while the case continues, but did not rule on his lawyers' request for immediate release.
"The US justice department has not commented on the ruling.
"Mr Khalil's lawyer Samah Sisay said in a statement on Wednesday that the government moved him to Louisiana to avoid having the case heard in New York or New Jersey.
"'Mr Khalil should be free and home with his wife awaiting the birth of their first child, and we will continue to do everything possible to make that happen,' Ms Sisay told Reuters.
"Mr Khalil's wife, who is a US citizen, is eight months pregnant.
"His lawyers have argued that he was exercising #FreeSpeech rights to demonstrate in support of #Palestinians in #Gaza and against US support for #Israel. They accused the government of 'open #repression of student #activism and #Politicalspeech'.
"Trump has previously stated that foreign students found to be 'terrorist sympathisers' would face deportation.
"Mr Khalil has not been charged with any crime.
"On Wednesday, Trump deputy chief of staff #StephenMiller said the administration believes "that any foreign nationals visiting our country are prohibited from supporting any designated terrorist organization" such as Hamas."

So Senator Chris Murphy of CT is right: political speech is free speech and detaining or taking someone for it is wrong.
Potus and his people are wrong to have done so, and must stop immediately.

Thank you for your conspiratorial analysis of what Harris was REALLY thinking. And I'm not the one thanking you: Trump is.
Remember: Only a vote for Harris stops Trump.

I've been thinking about #kamalaharris 's speech at the DNC (1st night) for a few days. OK, the part about #Gaza, specifically.
I decided to annotate my thoughts with terrible graphic design.
Note: the part on Gaza/Israel was about 200 words, just over 5% of the speech. It was placed 4/5 of the way through the speech.
I believe Harris emphatically promised to never stop selling weapons to Israel, but maybe that's just my interpretation.
I think this speech was carefully crafted to walk a fine line: expressing sympathy for Palestine while never implicating Israel in Gaza's destruction and reinforcing Kamala's commitment to #AIPAC.

These are some of the words I use to describe AOC and her speech as she goes off about the abuse of the American working class.

They contend that #Trump’s EOs have already cause harm. E.G., the Natl Assn of #Diversity Officers in Higher #Education says the vagueness of the EOs have left members w/ “untenable” choices: certifying that they won’t engage in prohibited #DEI at the risk of getting slapped w/penalties, or censoring themselves to avoid govt scrutiny. The EOs, the group alleged in a recent court filing, are “breeding fear & already forcing irreversible harm by chilling core #PoliticalSpeech & academic #freedom.”

I'd like to see a constitutional law professor do a thread on all the nasty things an American can say (or otherwise express) about the president that are protected as political speech per prior #SCOTUS jurisprudence.

This week in my state, the Nebraska legislature repealed all the city gun ordinances and also passed permitless carry, while children watched and guns are the #1 cause of death for American children.
I let them hear their shame. And I am now banned from the capitol for life.
