Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.

Feeling pretty hopeless as our government is being torn apart with the illegal actions by Trump? Take one measure, contact your Member of Congress and ask them to set aside all work other than the impeachment of DJT. We are in a Constitutional Crisis, let's act like it. Have a great Sunday!

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

p.s. Looting in disasters is largely a myth floated by law enforcement and the status quo both because they assume only their authority holds back chaos and because they care about private property so much. From A Paradise Built in Hell. p.p.s. Not as exciting if you call it shoplifting or theft.

In fact Hollywood movies are to actual disasters as described by soci- ologists something of a looking-glass world. Disaster sociologist Kathleen Tierney, who directs the University of Colorado’s Natural Hazards Cen- ter, gave a riveting talk at the University of California, Berkeley, for the centennial of the 1906 earthquake in which she stated, “Elites fear disrup- tion of the social order, challenges to their legitimacy.” She reversed the image of a panicking public and a heroic minority to describe what she called “elite panic.” She itemized its ingredients as “fear of social disor- der; fear of poor, minorities and immigrants; obsession with looting and property crime; willingness to resort to deadly force; and actions taken on the basis of rumor.” In other words, it is the few who behave badly and the many who rise to the occasion. And those few behave badly not because of facts but of beliefs: they believe the rest of us are about to panic or become a mob or upend property relations, and in their fear they act out to prevent something that may have only existed in their imagina- tions. Thus the myth of malevolent disaster behavior becomes something of a self-fulfilling prophesy. Elsewhere she adds, “The media emphasis on lawlessness and the need for strict social control both reflects and reinforces political discourse calling for a greater role for the military in disaster management. Such policy positions are indicators of the strength of militarism as an ideology in the United States.”
