Charge of the Light Brigade: 35 Lawsuits Hit Musk-Trump Evil Empire
American DEI and human rights groups, as well as FBI Agents and government security employees, are pouring into the courts--and winning injunctions.

It’s been most of three weeks since Trump took office — and unleashed the UNELECTED Elon Musk, who ran Twitter interference for Erdogan after the hideous earthquake response in Turkey—the nation’s emergency response fund had $5 in it—and then aided Putin by shutting down Starlink to Ukraine while Putin tried to take Sevastopol.
Now Musk is tearing up the security and privacy of every American, gutting development aid, putting his dirty little paws in everything from Medicare to Social Security, engineering retaliation against 6,000 FBI agents who investigated Trump, and shutting down every government agency that ever stood up to him.
It takes a little time to mount a lawsuit, but the fact 35 have mad it to court dockets (and several have resulted in injunctions) is a very, very hopeful sign.
Meanwhile, Pam Bondi has indeed gone after Jack Smith et al. in illegal actions against whistleblowers, and Trump/Musk have revoked the security details protecting Mike Pompeo, General Milley, and other detractors, which is basically telling his “troops” — the ones he sprang from prison after they tried to overthrow the government of the United States at his behest — “We’ve made sure these people are unprotected. You can go ahead and just shoot these people now.”
But there is light. Lots of it. Here’s where it stands, courtesy of Just Security’s tracker of litigations against Trump and Musk. They’re updating. FOLLOW THESE GUYS. They are amazing.

That’s all for now. But the lighthouse is definitely ablaze, and people are busy behind the scenes using the power of the First Amendment, which will be very hard indeed for even out corrupt Supreme Court to completely destroy.
Keep the faith. We can do this.
Thank you for helping the American people.
I can't say that almost three weeks have passed. The multiple shocks that are coming each and every day do not allow me to put down my shield. I think of what happened last Friday (including Friday night), Saturday, and Sunday -- and I believe that three days is a very, very, very long time with vought/muskrat/orange sadist at the helm. I think of muskrat saying, with great glee, about last Saturday, (essentially) "The other team didn't even show up, so we won!!" Having said that: your photo of the lighthouse made me feel so good! And your list of pending lawsuits, is excellent. But I can't help thinking: can those judges be fired? can the cases be "undone" -- like so much else?
