If you emailed an elite pervert with normal syntax and punctuation they'd make you immediately and cut off contact. You need to throw some typos and do the Epstein alpha "ghost period" thing . before sending Noam Chomsky some links to The Right Stuff Dot Biz. Then they know you're solid.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

IMO the president should not be allowed to sic his own lawyers against government lawyers who at this point are also just his lawyers in order to steal the annual GDP of a small country from American taxpayers.
Well!
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

Also, CA11 refuses to hold that it was now clearly established, so the result will be exactly the same the next time.
Of course maybe there are other remedies than 1983. I don’t know. But the refusal to rule on violations is a big QI problem.

11th Cir., 2-1, holds that it was not clearly established that it would violate a person's right to bodily integrity for sheriff's deputy to drive drunk at night without lights, hit the person's car, and then flee leaving person to die.
QI for deputy.

![Though these situations may be factually distinct, we cannot cast them aside in our “obvious clarity” analysis. Where precedent injects such uncertainty, it does not follow logically that the complained of offense “so obviously violates th[e] [C]onstitution.” Mercado v. City of Orlando, 407 F.3d 1152, 1159 (11th Cir. 2005). Indeed, when caselaw indicates that a certain type of conduct does not rise to the level of a constitutional violation, officials cannot possibly be on notice that the conduct is a constitutional violation—and certainly not with obvious clarity. See Hope, 536 U.S. at 741; al-Kidd, 563 U.S. at 741. The existence of this caselaw casting doubt on the “obvious clarity” of Moss’s claimed right—and, indeed, disclaiming such a right altogether—necessarily means that the right was not clearly established at the time of the violation. To be sure, similar out-of-circuit cases have reached the opposite conclusion. For example, as the district court noted in its order, in Browder v. City of Albuquerque, the Tenth Circuit concluded that a police officer’s misuse of a squad car resulting in a fatal collision could give rise to a claim under the Fourteenth Amendment. 787 F.3d 1076, 1083 (10th Cir. 2015).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreidebqwemly2zfgozo4wrt56vrpcdotmda42nxhtve6vdvv256uso4@jpeg)

one significant problem we have is a political culture -- at least in the center-left -- which is adverse, both for cynical and principled reasons, to a political culture on the left which demands anything other than a periodic vote and autopay donations.
politicians aren't "owed" anything. they are public servants. "but i'd be sad if i retired" who CARES.
if you're out here doing the business of political agitation--you too have responsibilities. "but i'd be SAD if i was held accountable for the results of my choices--" tough tuna.

The fact that most of what is happening is “care work”—skills like low dollar fundraising/aid, carpool mom, and generally looking out for your neighbor makes it anathema to charisma- / individual-driven spokespeople. Care work is pretty revolutionary, but no one is in charge.
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
