so important to understand that it’s perfectly normal to be frustrated with a crying baby, you just need to have the emotional maturity to realize that negatively reacting would be insane

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

In Virginia, the governor's starting point needs to be: Voters spoke. We intend to implement their will. To address today's court interference, we are now exploring administrative steps necessary to respect both the law and the will of the people. But make no mistake: The vote will not be denied.

"The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest. bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit. but this could not be. How would thev buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people fron fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes bevond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The ertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdv trunks, and the ripe fruit. And childrer dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and he guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, bu the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float bv, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people here is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage."

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."
Excerpt from the book How Democracies Die. 

"America's democratic norms, then, were born in a context of exclusion. As long as the political community was restricted largely to whites, Democrats and Republicans had much in common. Neither party was likely to view the other as an existential threat. The process of racial inclusion that began after World War II and culminated in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act would, at long last, fully democratization the United States. But it would also polarized it, posing the greatest challenge to established forms of mutual tolerating and forbearance since Reconstruction."

Here’s a list of the allegations that Patel claims are false and defamatory:
made no effort to disguise their aim.
17. The Article was widely disseminated on the internet, through AMG's magazine and associated platforms, and was foreseeably republished, summarized, and discussed throughout national and international media.
The Article included numerous false and defamatory statements of fact
concerning Director Patel, including but not limited to:
a.
That Director Patel "is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned's in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff."
b. That Director Patel "is also known to drink to excess at the Poodle Room in Las Vegas, where he frequently spends parts of his weekends."
c. That "lelarly in his tenure, meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights."
d. That "Io]n multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials."
e. That "[a] request for 'breaching equipment'-normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors."
1 Defendant AMG, at some point on April 19, 2026, stealth-edited the Article's main headline, which now reads "The FBI Director is MIA".
5Case 1:26-cv-01329 Document 1 Filed 04/20/26 Page 6 of 19
f. That Director Patel's alleged alcohol consumption has negatively impacted various law-enforcement investigations, including the Charlie Kirk murder investigation.
g. That Director Patel "recently expressed frustration with the look of FBI merchandise, complaining that it isn't intimidating enough."
h. That on April 10, 2026, Director Patel "panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House," and that his behavior was a "freak-out."
i. That Director Patel is "often away or unreachable, delaying time-sensitive decisions needed to advance investigations," and that on several occasions, Director Patel's "delays resulted in normally unflappable agents 'losing their shit.""
That Director Patel's "drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government."
k. The false implication that Director Patel violated DOJ's ethics rules prohibiting "habitually using alcohol or other intoxicants to excess."
1. That Director Patel has used his position to improperly "target political or personal adversaries of the president."
m. The false implication that Director Patel abuses alcohol, thereby making him vulnerable to exploitation or coercion by foreign adversaries.
n. The false implication that this alleged alcohol abuse "has become a threat to public safety," including in the context of "a domestic terrorist attack," and constitutes a national-security vulnerability.
o. That Director Patel "is deeply concerned that his job is in jeopardy."
p. That Director Patel has had a problem with "unexplained absences," and "spotty attendance at the office," thereby falsely implying that Director Patel has been derelict in his duties.
q. That Director Patel left the country vulnerable because "Days before the United States launched its war with Iran, Patel fired members of a counterintelligence squad that was devoted, in part, to Iran."

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...
