i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

Brutalizing civilians in the streets for daring to be inconvenient to Dear Leader is exactly what social ostracization is for. And for those we can prove charges against beyond a reasonable doubt, there should be jail cells ready and waiting.

They put 6 kids in the ER by tossing a flashbang into their dad's car while they were in it.
Periodic reminder that ICE agents' lives must be *ruined* after we get back into power. Fired for cause, names and faces publicized, banned from federal service for life, and any state services we fund.

Request for #AfghanEvac help.
One of my interpreters is in bureaucratic limbo with his SIV to enter the US. I'm running the traps on that.
Where he needs help: Organizations that fund the execution of leaving the country - medical exams, visas to get his family to Pakistan, etc.
Any ideas?

@gregdoucette.bsky.social we just might be getting that puritanical anti-corruption backlash I've been hoping for.
I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data…
—Top Public Worry: Corruption
—Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption
—Top fear: Corruption
—What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt”
It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.
