8. "From my perspective the courts really aren't holding"

Wed Jan 21, 2026, 06:33 PM

Oh a whole lot ARE. But because there are now what has to be well over a thousand (big) cases, if you're not following each step, then you won't see it unless you stumble on a single news article at some random time.

As a most recent example was this - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143602651

This is a BIG case related to the Dept. of Education harassing and threatening to withhold funds to schools using their bullshit denigration of "DEI". They lost at the lower courts and took their losing streak up the next level with an appeal, and then suddenly, and FINALLY gave up, and dropped the appeal.

Democracy Forward helped to do this case - Major Victory for Public Education Comes As Trump-Vance Administration Abandons Appeal on “Dear Colleague Letter”

Their press release yesterday ticks off the legal wins as of yesterday - On Anniversary of Trump’s Second Inauguration, Democracy Forward Marks Record Litigation Wins, Commits to Continue Collaborative Work to Defeat Autocracy and Advance Democracy
