    thank god! the websites!

    I was really worried there for a second!

    (meanwhile at Guantanamo, sanctuary cities, the southern border, EPA, USDA, TSA, USAID, climate summit, CFPB, and every major research and academic institution…???)

      There’s more than just that. It was just an example that I had recalled off the top of my head. On many of those important issues, they’re at the very minimum worried about said lawsuit enough to change some of their actions

      For instance, as of a few hours ago they just moved all recent Immigrants out of Guantanamo. (Though make sure to watch for them not to try and do it again when the public backlash has calmed down)

      This is not me trying to claim they are some law-abiding people. This is me saying they still fear the courts to some degree, so we should keep using that as a tool to push back. Lawsuits are still worth pursuing
