Triumph

“Even assuming that the IGA comports with Article II, Plaintiffs’ inability to perform their duties for 30 days is not irreparable harm. Moreover, if the IGs were reinstated, the President could lawfully remove them after 30 days by providing the required notice and rationale to Congress.”

The “irreparable harm” is that the president is being allowed to break the law without consequence. Reinstate them, and if he wants to fire them again, make him do it.

Revolutions are never “legal”.

I’m being radicalized by a fascist government. But I’m not a “youth”.

Strictly speaking, yes, but the word carries a “trained [pseudo-]military actor” connotation that “shooter” doesn’t. The choices people make in the words they use are important to pay attention to.

Acting ICE director is calling the shooter a “sniper”, probably to paint the shooter as a “combatant”. Because they want it to be a war.

Also literally an unconstitutional abridgement of 1A rights. The president threatening and extorting people and businesses, using the weight and power of the federal government, because of legal speech is in direct violation of the First Amendment.

Back in my day, if a US president did that, there would be consequences, but here we are.

We know you live there sadly. It’s Oklahoma.

FOX is definitely going to suspend him, right?

Oh I wasn’t trying to be argumentative with you at all. Just talking.

There’s a reason I used the word “ideally”. While there are absolutely worse prison systems in the world, the US prison system cannot be described as “ideal”.

I mean … yeah. If it’s a thing you must have, then it should not be for profit. Staple foods definitely qualify.

To be perfectly clear, when I say “not for profit” I mean that the costs of plant and equipment, administration, materials, logistics, labor, etc. are all paid for out of revenue - and a small fixed percentage to go into a fund to ward against variations in revenue, so that the business and its employees can continue to provide the public good and earn a living even in lean times.

Necessary public services should not be for profit. Yes, I know that framing prisons as “necessary public services” is a bit weird, but ideally, that’s what it is.

I wonder if it’s related to the reason that he voted to make October 14th a special day for Charlie Kirk.

We’ve had first constitutional crisis, but what about second constitutional crisis?

Examples of simple, non-aggressive things that anyone can do:

• Get healthy. You will need physical stamina.
• Make a space in your home for short or long term guests. There will be refugees.
• Plant a garden. There will be shortages.
• Record, report, resist. Use your phone to record fascist activites. The linked site is one way to make sure those videos are publicly available.
• Build networks with neighbors and friends, online and off. We will need to support each other.
• Learn how to prepare rations, even if it’s just hard tack. Armies fight on their stomachs.

Constitutional crisis incoming.

Which is probably why Kimmel or his people haven’t made a peep. This appears to be a slam dunk 1A win, and I have to think they’re putting a case together.

Extending that, it’s going to take a lot of people doing a lot of different things, from all angles, to ultimately succeed in quashing fascism again.

All efforts great and small.
