Why did Judge Farbiarz shift course like this?

He might have had his family threatened. All the judges who stand up to this Kakistocracy are braver than brave.

Trump is acting like Pinochet and a lot of other dictators. Indivisible says that there will be 2000 actions on Saturday in all 50 states, and 150 in 17 countries abroad. I know of 6 in Germany where I live. We need to stand up to fascism when and where we can.

Two things:

1 Last night I had Indivisible training to prepare for tomorrow. I wrote a brief piece with links to their advice on safety and know your rights.

2) A representative of SEIU was telling us that there will be a 5 Day Justice bus tour this summer that they are sponsoring to go to Louisiana ICE detention centers to protest. https://www.seiu99.org/2025-solidarity-summer-justice-journey/

Bring the criminals to trial. Noem, Miller, Trump, Hegseth, the list goes on and on. Meanwhile, Trump sends in National Guard troopers and Marines to intimidate us, with no money to pay for them as they back up ICE. Who is going to protect us from terrorists? No one. The person who is in charge of that is 24 years old according to ProPublica, and has no qualifications for this.

Iran is het up and instead of going after Israel which is on high alert, referred to by Iran as the "little Devil," they might go after the US, known as the "Big devil" because no one is minding the shop for real actions. Instead our Kakistocracy does not have anyone competent minding our actual security. Other countries that were allied with us, are going ahead to do actions without discussing it with us because they do not trust the US not to spill the beans in a Signal phone call, or to their families.

Elon Musk sucked up all our data along with Peter Thiel of Palantir so that they can set up a China like surveillance state, and sell our our info to the highest bidder.

The list of problems just goes on.

The cruelty is staggering. They just don’t want to admit they’re wrong.

If they could, they would summarily execute decency, itself. Honour, integrity & morality, are (and will eternally be), "a threat to US foreign policy."

Also: How many times are we going to see Biden's appointees, aid & abet Trump's crimes, before we all finally admit that Biden didn't fail? He just lied about whose side he was on.

He just wasted time knowing he was going to rule this way. Playing in folks faces for his amusement. It’s disgusting.

We are living in a disgusting fascist hellhole full of ghoulish politicians and their thug police force. It's Orwellian. The innocent get sent to El Salvador prison and the guilty becomes president. Sickening.

What we are witnessing is white collar crime. It is a crime anywhere in the world to imprison innocent people. Khalil has committed no offence, The judge , it seems is as thick as two gate posts, and has fogotten that little bit of law he would have learned at uni.

Or over run it simply to have the power to lock up an innocent man,

Gives him that gut feeling in bed at night. power..

What a Judge is this man. how he portrays himself as intellectually incompetant.

And is to stupid to realise.

There are no right wing intellectuals, Even in the high court. This man is evidence of that statement.
