Today, January 25, marks fifteen years since Egyptians took to the streets to demand "bread, freedom, and dignity."

For 18 days, protesters challenged decades of repression, injustice, and corruption despite violence by security forces that injured thousands and killed at least 846.
For "One First," I wrote about DOJ's unprecedented attempt to secretly strong-arm a widely respected district judge in the Cities Church protest case—and why everyone, especially other federal judges, should read Chief Judge Schiltz's two letters in response:

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Schopenhauer ftw
Becker’s argument is existential. Humans fear mortality, and we manage that fear by attaching ourselves to meaning systems that promise symbolic immortality. In extreme contexts, violence can be reframed as sacred duty or historical mission, turning killing into a path toward purpose. 11/
I recommend Minnesota Public Radio live. I’m learning a lot I’m not getting elsewhere.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
ICE / DHS employees: I know there’s way more alarm internally than is public. Text me via signal at 202-510-1268. I’ll protect your anonymity

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

UNBELIEVABLE
