"The Post’s motto is ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness,’ but it doesn’t do well in false equivalence either."
@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and @rparloff.bsky.social respond to a recent Washington Post editorial that equates the prosecution of James Comey to Jack Smith's indictments of Donald Trump.

The Washington Post editorial on the Comey indictment was a failure of moral reasoning.

Gotta say--dressing up in costumes is the kind of creatively brilliant resistance we all need. It brings joy and humor to things while vividly painting the authoritarian as foolish and absurd. Hats off Portlanders! @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org I think this counts as the sprite of mischief.
