I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the best description of my ideology I've ever read. From "Liberalism Did Not Fail, Conservatism Did" by @polphilpod.bsky.social. www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-d...
If we are entering a bipolar world, that simplifies our strategy considerably: We must unite our own coalition and oppose the enemy one. We are in a fight across countries, across institutions, and across all levels of society. War must be waged on all fronts. There is no point trying to find a middle ground with fascism; rather we should aim for positions that are broadly acceptable to everyone in the liberal team.

Some of the first Okudagrams, made for Star Trek IV. Text on image reads:

Why are the Enterprise bridge monitor screens round? Perhaps because they are designed to accommodate circular displays such as these. These readouts employ a hypothetical circular flowcharting format which presumably represents an advance over present-day rectangular schematic diagrams. Conceptually, we are seeing a graphic status report on ship's systems. We see subsystems coming on-line, test routines, and Indications of virtually every kind of system activity. The graphics are intended to be sufficiently detailed to be believable, but generic enough to allow use at nearly any bridge station.

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever
The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.Son,
I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.
I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as
"unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.
I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care)
Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against womenWe still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]
And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)
I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But...
On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself...
Mom

BUT THERE'S MORE: After declaring that both the wife and husband are not in Tren de Aragua and must be released, Judge Briones SPONTANEOUSLY (without being asked) issued an injunction blocking the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport anyone in the Western District of Texas without 21 days notice!
Because of the Executive's unpredictable and inconsistent use of this power, and because of due process and jurisdiction considerations, this Court also issues the following order with respect to individuals in custody within the Western District of Texas pursuant to the TdA Proclamation:
IT IS FINALLY ORDERED Respondents Angel Garite, Mary De-Anda-Ybarra, Todd Lyons, Kristi Noem, and Pam Bondi, or any agency within the Executive Branch of the United States, or their agents, employees, assigns, and all those acting in concert with them, SHALL NOT
REMOVE FROM THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS OR THE UNITED STATES OFAMERICA any non-citizen detained in, or held, in federal immigration custody in the Western District of Texas who were, are, or will be subject to the March 2025 "Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren de Aragua", Pres. Proc. No. 10903, 90 FR 13033. Respondents SHALL provide a twenty-one (21) day notice to individuals detained in the Western District of Texas pursuant to the AEA and the TdA Proclamation. Such notice must include the individual's right to seek judicial review, and inform individuals they may consult an attorney, at their own expense, regarding their detention and the Government's intent to remove them. Such notice must be given and written in a language the individual understands.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
간 SIGNED this 25 day of April 2025.
THE HONORABLE DAVID BRIONES SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Seems like it would be handy to codify a restriction on governmental interference somewhere, maybe close to the other nine things the US government is barred from doing, like curbing citizen’s rights to carry firearms. Just an idea in case you don’t like the sound of “political commissars vetting”.
