Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.

I don't really have anything especially profound to say, but yeah man this is it. They won't obey even the most milquetoast SCOTUS orders and are talking about sending US citizens to foreign gulags. It's happened here.

I'm old enough to remember when, in the early days of the pandemic, @governor.ca.gov's then Sr. Climate Policy Advisor Kate Gordon tweeted about the need to incorporate remote work as a climate solution. For this and many other reasons RTO mandates are not it, Governor.

There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it.
Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.
