I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

Accountability is not free. It costs money to train and build a professional non-political civil service that is not just in it for bribes. It costs money to train and recruit for a court system that is independent and fair-minded. But the public supporting this wrecking spree doesn’t see that.

But this information asymmetry has allowed cynical corporate aligned politicians to develop a false narrative that the government is a failing “deep state” that must be destroyed. That is not true. The proof is obvious: People want to move here. And it’s not just because of our great shopping.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.* So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

A great teacher isn’t one who imparts the most facts. The best ones get you caught up in their love of the topic. Like you might not even be that into the topic, but either they got you into it or, if not, now you’re excited about the possibility of loving another topic, too.

If Democracy truly is dying in plain sight, then why have all of the living former presidents and vice-presidents been absolutely silent? Do they not care?

I know it's quite minor compared to his other crimes but I'm rather peeved that Thiel mined Lord of the Rings for names while completely missing any moral lesson from them. Does he look to Saruman as a role model?

Ask yourself: when is the last time I saw my lawmaker at a town hall? Not on TV. I'm talking you were in the same room as them. When was the last time you actually spoke to them? Asked a question and heard an answer? Maybe we need to bring back town halls.

My love for you is like a peregrine falcon. One more valentine from a past year.

A stern peregrine falcon looks at the reader against a background of pinks. "My love for you is like a Peregrine Falcon. Strong. Powerful." The peregrine zooms through the sky over a forest. "Energetic. Zooming towards you at 200 mph." The peregrine catches a bird. "Striking prey in a dramatic mid-air explosion of feathers. Storing excess meat in crevices or on ledges." The peregrine barfs up a pellet with a BLECHHH. "Vomiting up pellets of bone, feathers, gizzard, and other coarse material. Wait. What were we talking about?"

Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general: "I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"

Trump’s feared DOJ enforcer has a secret: He, too, investigated Jan. 6

The acting DOJ official behind a potential witch hunt against prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated the Capitol riot worked on Jan. 6 cases himself.

Some of them might be in there under terms Cap's search didn't pick up. I found what may be another Glen Simon video (media ID t8YKkkJQoJzqCrSNE) that may be an exhibit 3? I'll keep looking. They could be in there.

While lawsuits demanding that the government preserve records are a good thing, please realize that no evidence of January 6 is lost. Most is still publicly accessible. This lawsuit covers 3 video exhibits in US vs Glen Simon (21-cr-346-BAH); these are all preserved (see links next skeets). 1/

All share a belief that a small group of people have been chosen to survive the catastrophes they are deliberately deepening. It's a vision of the Rapture, sometimes religious but often secular. We need to understand the story they are telling so that we can battle it with own. More soon

Chris Rufo reminds us that moral capitulation wins you nothing under an authoritarian regime. Give authoritarians what they demand and they just mock you for your cowardice. Ducking and covering does not work - there is literally no option other than to stand and fight for one's principles. 1/
