Really good speech from Carney at the World Economic Forum today.
Genuinely gives the impression he understands the gravity of the moment, which is why I'm struggling to square it with his actual actions and policy re: the United States.

I think about this a lot: the fact that it's "inconceivable" is a HUGE part of the problem. Hey folks: conceive of it. That's the necessary first step. This fascism is in fact happening, and the whole "I can't imagine" part is stopping a lot of progress in overcoming it.
"The Court finds it inconceivable that the Department of Justice, which holds a duty to faithfully execute the
laws of the United States—even those with which it may have disagreement—would repeatedly ignore court orders, while simultaneously prosecuting citizens for breaking the law."

![Rather stunningly, Ms. Halligan fails to even mention Chief Judge Diaz’s Order, let alone
discuss its impact here. In short, Ms. Halligan has not only ignored Judge Currie’s rulings, she
has also turned a blind eye to an Order from the Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit. The Court

In the wise words of Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit, “[w]e yet cling to the hope that it is not naive to believe our good brethren in the

Absolutely vile. The only people facing federal investigation of any kind right now for the killing of Renee Good are Minnesota officials who drew attention to it.

Google makes billions per year from journalism. They only coughed up $10 million after this backroom deal.
Google literally spent more on lobbying — $11 million! — to kill proposals that would have meant more funds for public interest journalism.
As a whole, Google made $100 billion last quarter.

Jennings is a moral monster who clearly has no center. I’m glad Kasky didn’t put up with it, but there’s really no point in going on this show or any show where you know he’ll be.
