Summary
The Justice Department’s decision to dismiss bribery charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams has led to a wave of resignations, tripling those of the 1973 “Saturday Night Massacre.”
Six senior officials, including Manhattan U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, stepped down in protest, citing concerns over political interference.
Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered the dismissal, arguing the case was “weaponization” of the justice system.
Legal experts see parallels to past executive overreach, raising alarm over the independence of the Southern District of New York.
These people need to understand this quickly, like yesterday: This whole “protesting by stepping down” thing, doesn’t help a damn thing. These mass resignations only embolden the shitheads to continue breaking the law with no fear of reprisal
When demonstrating against a larger power, one can only use the tools at one’s disposal.
Or would you rather they stay and change the system from within, ie: evolution over disruption … which would take time, patience, ability and maneuvering to keep their jobs in the first place.
Say it with me: “No.”
No is extremely powerful magic, especially if you embrace it completely.
YES. This whole performative “Me stepping down and letting some right wing stooge replace me will really inspire people” bullshit has to come to an end. They’re just conceding defeat, fucking forfeiting, when that’s the last goddamned thing we need from our civil servants! … you’re not fucking helping!
They are saying No.
Theyre saying No I will not be a part of this corruption.
The tool they should be using is saying “fuck off”. If you want to go to the top, you need to have responsibility.
Yeah I have to say, this is probably what they want, then they can replace people who pose a real threat with loyalists. If anything, pretend to be on board while sabotaging them at every opportunity
