Even with no end in sight
And though my feet are on the ground
The wind has left me light
And suddenly, I feel spellbound!
We are unique, like two bright stars
And in this world, we will be loved
For who we truly are!

Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

A problem with “Everything Is Just Media Perception/Vibes” as an insight is that, even if to some nontrivial degree true, attempting to Do Politics and especially Actually Govern towards this is also “profoundly evil in a way that corrupts everything it touches into a dark facsimile of the real”

so he just wants WaPo to be a glorified substack? doesn't see the need for anything more than an editorial board that will repeat his opinions; and then, i guess, a natsec and politics desk so he can keep his finger on the pulse and ensure his other businesses don't lose out on sweet contracts?

I’m sure chuds think the Boy Scouts let girls in because of woke, but the BSA actually let girls in because they’re capable of reading a chart and understood a precipitous drop in membership is an existential crisis
Breaking news: The Pentagon issued a warning to Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts, saying the organization risks losing its long-standing partnership with the U.S. military unless it rapidly implements “core value reforms.”
Pentagon warns Scouts to restore ‘core values’ or lose military support
The relationship dates back decades, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized the organization for allowing girls to join and changing its name from Boy Scouts.

Local news is reporting that Le contracted with DOJ precisely because ICE is breaking the law so often and so seriously that DHS is being hammered with habeas petitions. Some people get what they deserve.
Not a DOJ attorney but a former ICE attorney who volunteered to help just a MONTH ago and is already having a nervous breakdown.
There are ethical considerations to quitting a case but it feels like begging the court to rule contempt because your client sucks does too.

But critiquing it on the basis of legality is deeply misguided.
Especially when fascists construct the very existence of trans people and undocumented people here as crime.
"Legality" as a standard for protest is a trap, and it was set by the enemy.

Nonviolent civil disobedience is quite literally and explicitly a strategy where you commit crimes.

I'm sorry, I'm lol'ing hard at "crime he disapproves of." As if some crimes are perfectly fine and okay.
Yeah, go ahead and set the city on fire. Just like Trump and Steven Miller want to see happen. Play right into their hands!
