0·20 days agoIf the Marshall Service does not enforce contempt, it is possible for the courts to appoint others to enforce for them if they are willing to do so. It would be unprecedented, but well within the bounds of what the law states
The rule begins in section (a) by instructing that, as a general matter, process “must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.”
[…]
Thus, by its plain terms, Rule 4.1 contemplates that the court may appoint individuals other than the marshals to enforce civil contempt orders.
[…]
Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there.

Headline makes it sound like internal communications, but that’s not the case at least currently. Still, we shouldn’t rely on third party services for important info - especially one that sometimes requires login to view
Not that pausing this is anything less than insane, but note that SCOTUS has recently given administrative stays and then ruled against Trump after that. Nothing is a given either way
The fight isn’t over until it’s over. Don’t read this news and give in the doom and cynicism Trump wants us all to have. We can still fight back, and people are still fighting. 5 million were on the street on Saturday. There’s another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th
Check my post history*. I post about them quite frequently here on Lemmy. They still get less attention here even. The sorting algorithms like active boost posts with more engagement which photos of protests often don’t get until they are truly enormous
For instance, here was one large protest a month ago in the Iowa Statehouse that I had posted about
So social media posts about protests often get lost in the sea of bad news and news outlets are downplaying them severely. That’s why few people were hearing about them
*From my instance or some other one. From your instance, it seems a lot of my posts about the protests haven’t federated :(

Harris had the majority in both of the cities I listed. 59% of Dallas county (which includes much more than the city of Dallas) voted for Harris

80% of St Louis city voted for Harris
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Missouri
Nor is it a super majority either state overall. 56% of Texas went for Trump, and 58% of Missouri
There are millions who voted against this. Don’t condemn them all
There have been protests for those too. Media coverage of protests has been severely limited making you think fewer people have been fighting back than they have. Here’s one in Dallas
Here’s another in St. Louis
There have even been people protesting ICE during their raids and doing things like loudly telling people around ICE is there and about their constitutional rights. It’s been effective enough that ICE has been complaining about how they are below targets
The USPS unions organized these protests against the entire USPS being dismantled. Sounds kind of like a thing unions should do. Privitizing it is way worse than just affecting “junk mail”
In various parts of the country USPS is the only place that will deliver mail to people because it’s unprofitable to do so. Zero mail service nearby affects a lot. For instance, need medications delivered, you may lose that option

Both for general info and also things like recipes

California got a state law to enforce net neutrality in 2018. This is a good part of what limited the damage of Trump overturning it the first time

90% the things Trump suggests are not something he actually does. The trouble is you’re never sure which 10% are what he will do
He floods the zone with so much intentionally that it all looks like noise. Don’t get twisted by it all. It’s designed to make you numb and assume he is more powerful than he is. He’s done that this term and he did it during his first term
Follow his direct actions more than his words. Based on actions, I’d actually be a bit more alarmed for Panama invasion than Canada right now. He directed military to create plans for that. Watch it more closely
Keep boycotting, and join protests outside Tesla showrooms. ~60% of Musk’s wealth is in Tesla shares. Tank the stock and tank his wealth and thus influence
There are protests all across the US and starting to spring up in other countries. Here’s a list of upcoming ones + a guide to help organize one around you if none exist
Aside about Rwanda - not only are they another dictatorial country, but they are also heavily backing the M23 militia in the DRC who have been committing some pretty horrible war crimes. Rwanda claims they aren’t tied to M23 at all, yet things have been happening like Rwanda suddenly exporting resources that it doesn’t have (that do exist within the DRC)
The war in the DRC has substantially less attention in the west than that of Ukraine and Gaza, but is still pretty horrifying
