Opinion | Goodbye to my fearless friend, Alexei Navalny
Alexei Navalny dreamed of a free Russia. Barbaric dictators such as Putin can kill men, but they cannot kill ideas.

If the Democrats nominate @astroterry.bsky.social they will have a massively good shot at winning TX-9, a district they drew to be Republican. We have a shot to make Texas far more blue, and this is important. Vote Virts!

as always, the proper stance when trump and the goons sue is “fuck you, make me”
UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off.
Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering.
Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.
The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

"I don't see any reason why we can't do what we did with opiates, what we did with tobacco. We need to regulate Big Tech," Scott Galloway tells Tim Miller. "All the problems you're talking about are fixable, and the illusion of complexity is what Big Tech wants you to be overrun with."

What if the biggest conspiracy is our government’s refusal to believe more than a 1000 women (and children) for many decades?

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket."
The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.
More on this tomorrow.
