NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

This is honestly I think one of the things you should be most cognizant of in your messaging. We got here and remain here because too many people think that bad things, really bad things, simply cannot happen. And yet, we cannot also fall to the despair of doom. Do not credit unearned victories.

You see, in American culture there's this concept called "face" which is culturally quite important. This may be an effort by the Trump administration to "save face".

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

Schumer's whole plan, in his words, is "I am focused on bringing Trump’s numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," but when asked about specifics like Columbia & Khalil, he leaps to Trump's defense while admitting he doesn't even know the details.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide
