okay, so we offered up the MILDEST list of requests (mostly like "can they please follow laws") and the GOP responded with "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU, WE WOULD RATHER SHUT THEM DOWN THAN NOT LET THEM DO MURDERS"
it sure seems like there is no downside to just saying "sweet, go for it"

In case you're curious what your DA is doing instead of standing with the community who got viciously tear gassed by ICE this weekend:
1. Covered trial call for a photo op;
2. Prosecuting a misdo resist claim against an
ICE protester to run cover for the PPB cop who broke that protester's arm.

The "headquarters_67" thing is a particular eye roller because "67" faded with 2025. It tells me this was all developed late last year, workshopped, carefully planned and launched without any of the spontaneity that makes things like this effective. So yes, a "Gen X consultant" op.
This reeks of “gen x consultant”
I don’t even care if they aren’t. It’s coded that way. Very mid-50s, very uncomfortable moving beyond text, very “hello there fellow youths.”
But youths aren’t on X; they’re on Reels, Snap, and TikTok. It’s sad.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Even if (IF) she sincerely believed that she was resisting evil from within, the transcript makes clear why she was naive. The judge‘s responses to her efforts to blame the system are worth studying.

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.
