U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston blocks Trump from firing federal workers during shutdown
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/judge-blocks-trump-firing-federal-workers-during-shut-down
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from firing federal workers amid a government shutdown in yet another instance of a court blocking executive actions, despite a Supreme Court decision meant to limit such stays. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston issued the decision, saying, “It’s very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost.” “It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated,”

Judge on Trump RIFs: I Forbid This Because I Find It Icky and Hurtful
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/judge-on-trump-rifs-i-forbid-this
READ THE COURT ORDER – the link is in here – Note that the first paragraph frames federal RIFs as historically unprecedented, while the second paragraph frames the current federal RIFS as not ordinary: different than the way RIFs are usually conducted. So this is unprecedented, but it has happened before, and the problem with the unprecedented thing is that it’s not being done the way the thing that has never been done before is usually done.

Antifa is what you get when cowards run civilization
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/antifa-is-what-you-get-when-cowards-run-civilization
For years, the legacy media and left-wing think tanks have portrayed Antifa as “decentralized” and “leaderless.” The opposite is true. Antifa is organized, disciplined, and well-funded. Groups like Rose City Antifa in Oregon, the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club in Texas, and Jane’s Revenge operate as coordinated street militias. Legal fronts such as the National Lawyers Guild provide protection, while crowdfunding networks and international supporters funnel money directly to the movement.

Feminists Have Discovered “Nose Ring Theory” And They’re Not Happy
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/feminists-have-discovered-nose-ring-theory-and-theyre-not-happy
…”nose ring theory”, also known as “septum ring theory”…is based on an observable stereotype: The idea that many crazed feminists on social media tend to have the exact same physical characteristics. It’s the blue hair, the face, neck and full body tattoos, the high cut bangs and, of course, they almost always seem to have septum rings in their noses. The theory is supported by the leftist habit of using symbolic identifiers, much like a cult would use to pick out other adherents in a crowd. When the pandemic mandates failed to garner enough public support in the US and the mask requirements were abandoned (largely because the masks were proven to be useless), the political left continued to wear them anyway. Why? Because the masks had become symbolic of the cult, a uniform for the woke. The septum ring is the new covid mask. It’s a signal to other believers that they are on the same side.
(apparently nose rings were origionally used on bulls and pigs to make them easier to handle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_ring_(animal) – now apparently cultural approperation as well (https://www.jewelry-auctioned.com/learn/buying-jewelry/meaning-of-nose-rings-in-historic-and-modern-society)  – jlr)

The Color Revolution Chooses Yellow
https://grayzoneresearch.substack.com/p/the-color-revolution-chooses-yellow
According to social media posts and their website, Indivisible and the No Kings protest campaign have chosen yellow as their unity color.
Why It Matters: Several weeks ago, I reported that Indivisible, the country’s largest protest organizer, had spent an hour debating which color or symbol to use, and that an announcement was pending. I actually dislike this choice for them. Purple – as a combination of Blue America and Red America coming together to fight perceived fascism – would have been a much better choice as a unity color, in my opinion. “No Kings” as a slogan is pithy and allows the movement to claim ownership of America’s heritage of opposition to kings (“Rejecting Kings Since 1776,” as one sign reads), but still misses the point because President Trump is not a king, nor is he attempting to become one. I would not be surprised to see this color change as we get closer to 2028 because the imagery of Red and Blue America coming together is a very powerful strategic message, especially because so much of the main effort in a Color Revolution is about encouraging defections from the autocratic side to join the resistance. – M.S.
