The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It’s so interesting that the comet pizza-Q-Anon folks have disappeared just as their deeply held concerns about a widespread elite child trafficking conspiracy has been proven correct

In case anybody wondered what it looked like for a President to actually win a Nobel Peace Prize vs. pretending to win one by extorting a woman who only wants the best for her country.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Something that has been bothering me about the discourse around the Epstein Files is how many memes, jokes, and AI edits I've seen. This is unfortunately common with high-profile cases involving abuse, and it only serves to normalize abuse and harm victims further.

There's nothing funny about the Epstein Files
Viral jokes and AI memes about Jeffrey Epstein only enable his abuse of power.

Yes! I think AI skepticism is a both-sides thing until the propaganda machine changes the minds of half of us.
Every 2026 Democrat should have "We're going to shut down the AI Data Centers that make the billionaires richer while raising your power bills" as a part of their platform

When you’ve had a solid month for the entire FBI to work on redacting evidence of your underage sex ring participation and there was still too much evidence to get it completed, you probably shouldn’t be President.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
