This is my response to every argument along the lines of "don't fight unless you have good reason to be confident you'll win that specific fight."
Don't fold in advance, make the regime beat you. If you lose, so be it. The govt is powerful. But tying up any of its resources weakens it.
It adds up.

The Trump regime's desire for authoritarian dominance is bottomless, but its capacity is not. Tying up the regime's limited resources means less capacity for malfeasance elsewhere.
Even if the murderous ICE agent beats a prosecution, occupying the agency and its lawyers' time would be a positive.

So tired of being angry.

It's my first Fediversary! Still happy to be here, no regrets leaving IG--in fact, it's been a relief.

One of the crappiest trends I’m seeing in my mentorship sessions today is people getting laid off from large corporations after 20-40 years of silo right now. It’s really appalling if not unexpected.
If you’ve been somewhere over 5, 10, 20 years it’s worth looking at your employability elsewhere.

—if governments have the courage to change the rules.

I understand that some people experience holiday nostalgia in the form of a longing for the movies or food of their childhood, which sounds great and all but I am always after that fresh computer smell, blinky lights on desktop, and a quiet room with a view onto a campus covered in snow
