The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

If Maxwell wasn't involved in Epstein's child rape op, then why was she on the run from the FBI, masking her identity & location?
Innocent people don't go to those lengths
And why did she sue for a portion of Epstein's estate?
Uninvolved people don't lay claim to someone's $$ they had no part in

There are so many times this nightmare should’ve been over, but I’ll never get how inciting a violent coup on J6 didn’t lead to a prison term post haste. That fucker should’ve been yanked by the lapels out of the White House, handcuffed, and hauled away that day. Everyone knew he was responsible.

7. If this bill passes, Americans die, deficits explode, climate investments turn off and the rich get richer. If it goes down, those bad things don't happen. Those are the stakes. Keep your eyes on the prize.

"You don't deserve due process if you're a criminal" has got to be among the least "American" arguments the government has put forward in a century

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

We are done with a time of straight facts only reporting. We are now in a time where legal and political context in journalism is EVERYTHING.

Connect the Damn Dots, MSM!
The mainstream media is continuously letting the public down when they report the actions of Donald Trump and his team without putting those facts into context to call out the attempt at spin.

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

It’s not just that the money gained is from mass firings, those firings mean less safety, less service for the public. I don’t want a $2000 check if it means that food is less safe, flying is less safe, TB, tsunamis, and Ebola are not being tracked, lakes & rivers are filled with poisons, etc, etc.

How about I give you $50 instead
Nope, I want to punch you
I’ll buy you dinner but no violence
Sorry, I really like to punch
Ok, what if you slap me medium-hard
It’s a punch in the face or nothing
Ok fine, punch me. I can’t be blamed for obstructing a deal

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
