They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Mr. Civility himself calling for a general strike, Bill Kristol calling for ICE to be abolished, and GMU libertarians posting like they want to get the GC subpeonaed. We are 83 days in.

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.
There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.

If you think that Europe is doomed, you’re not paying attention.

Wrote a recap of the latest developments and call me a hopeless Europtimist but I think Europe+ (including Canada) isn’t doing too bad in terms of offering Ukraine an actual perspective for the future. With or without the US.
Is Trump Making Europe Great Again?
In a world of zero-sum thinking, the EU's win-win logic can be a powerful tool.

Self care on Inauguration Day. The television is off the whole evening, I’m lying under a wool blanket, reading Intermezzo. The events of the past few months have consumed me, shattered my focus, and filled me with a futile anxiety. I won’t let it anymore. #fucktrump

I cannot express strongly enough how much kind words from readers mean to me. Like these, from the Danish book blogger buhls_boghjoerne: «I am about to finish the last pages of this amazing book / I am completely in shock after this reading experience.»
It means the world for a small indie like me

No, Kamala Harris did not lose because of her supposed embrace of “identity politics.” Just the reverse is true: Donald Trump won because of his very real embrace of identity politics. White identity politics.

The first snow gives me a very special sense of calm. I dread it every time, but it’s all about embracing the dark season and giving it the best possible meaning, with plenty of light indoors.

Have you ever met a true narcissist and wondered what goes on in their mind? Have you tried to understand why we allow these people to have such a strong influence on us? I take you into the hearts and minds of characters dealing with this subject.

I feel an urgent pull to retreat, to shield myself from the relentless cascade of news and the ominous speculations about our most vital, yet tragically, now neo-authoritarian alliance. And yet, it’s this very paralysis they seek to impose upon the world. They must not succeed.
