George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
What’s happening at the Supreme Court this week is bigger than just one FTC commissioner. The conservative majority seems ready to endorse the “unitary executive” theory, giving Trump the power to purge agency staffers across government and replace them with loyalists. It’s a frightening prospect, and one we should all be paying attention to. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-humphreys-executor-case-scotus

@georgetakei
Questions for the Supremes? Is there any power he doesn't have? Like, can he order my arrest for opposing him? Maybe just for voting against him? Anything else? Exactly what can't he do? America citizens need to know.

@georgetakei I think it's very good to be paying attention, but that doesn't DO anything. What can we actually do to prevent or react to this disaster other than emigrate to another country?

@georgetakei What they're probably not realizing is that once they agree to letting Trump do that, he'll figure out a way to fire them too, since the they'll be of no further use to him.
