Tyranny requires constant effort. Control is desperate because it is so unnatural. It breaks, it leaks. Authority's brittle. Oppression's a mask of fear. The day will come when all moments of defiance will flood the banks of the Empire and break the siege.

My fundamental gripe with originalism beyond its practice being indistinguishable from divination, it's also an implicit framework that forces us to be governed by the dead or worse, the malicious interpretation of the dead.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

October is Domestic Violence awareness month. As you may all know that I went through 2 years of domestic violence while I was married to a member of the far right. I hope to inspire those who are going through it to be able to safely leave and know there is better out there than to go through this.

ICE, preying on domestic violence survivors. There are no depths low enough that ICE won't stoop to it. There must be DV survivors now *staying in abusive relationships* rather than risking reporting it, ending up in court, and getting sent to internment camps in random countries by the gestapo.

The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.

The Roberts Court is abdicating the basics, the minimum of justice. They are using court rulings to enable Trump DHS to kill people that may not have done anything wrong. And even the ones in violation of immigration rules, why kill them?
Screenshot from news article

The justices, with the court’s three liberals dissenting, granted an emergency request filed by the government seeking to block an appeals court ruling that said the current process is unlawful because the affected people are not given a proper chance to raise concerns about safety risks in violation of federal immigration law.

In the brief unsigned order, the court also said it would hear oral arguments in December and issue a definitive ruling on the legal questions raised in the litigation.

If this DOJ appeal to the Supreme Court is successful, it will set a precedent for the government - and likely, private companies, not having to recognize *either* trans healthcare or *social transition*, IE policing the *appearance* of trans people. This is a backdoor to firing more trans people.
