And I'm not opposed to nonprofits universally (I've worked for a number of them). I dislike the practice of farming out large social service roles to an opaque network of private organizations, which is recipe for fraud and abuse, makes measuring outcomes difficult, and creates interest groups.

I would argue pretty strenuously that overreliance on nonprofits for social services is, in fact, a centrist position at best. NGO world cloaks itself in progressivism by adhering to cultural signifiers of social justice. Endless land acknowledgements as they take public jobs from union workers.

a significant funder of anti-housing NIMBY activism in the LA area is also a non-profit that makes money from arbitraging AIDS medication. Their founder first got involved in this because he was upset a proposed development would have blocked his view. They're also a slumlord.

do you know why so many LA area non-profits, activist groups and local legislators in their orbit are so opposed to a proposed gondola, funded entirely with private money, that would go from union station to dodger stadium? because it goes over the California endowment's offices.

Any local law enforcement agency that explicitly states "We will not provide security for any federal agents operating in our jurisdiction" will have increased the cost of one of these deployments by so much that they might even be unfeasible.
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

The brits were clearly in the right in some sense due to self determination of the population, etc. but I do think Borges was also right when he called the war a fight between two bald men over a comb. Absurd conflict.

For the first time in decades, the federal government refuses to acknowledge World AIDS Day. But we are prepared for this fight, and we won't let them harm our community. We have built systems of care, fought for our rights, and protected each other through every wave of hate. We are ready.
