/5 To expand on Point Four: the enemies of democracy and freedom are not just hacks like Wurman and Barnett, it’s also the people who demand that we treat Wurman and Barnett as good-faith commentators because they talk in law review articles or NYT editorials. Call evil evil.

OK, I’m told the feds released Mayor Barka rather than holding him over the weekend on the pretext they couldn’t get him before a judge. I am pleasantly surprised, through I suspect the decision was made on a lower level and that the people who made it may suffer.
Intimidation. That’s what it’s about. Stage some shocking arrests of people with power. Then let them go. You’ve made your point: The same thing could happen to anyone. A few well-staged acts of violence are all it takes to intimidate people into compliance or silence.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”
Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

"The media can often reinforce the perception that the right speaks for all Christians when in reality, there are far more Christians who reject the right’s narrow and often toxic definition of the faith."
The path of best resistance: "Faith-rooted messaging would help build broader political support"

I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his payroll. I will not tell him the whereabouts of my friends nor of my enemies either. I will not map him the route to any man’s door. Am I a spy in the land of the living, that I should deliver men to Death? -St. Vincent Millay
