Passionate about books and movies. Despise political extremes—especially fascism. Holding out hope that Americans will come to their senses. (I know, I’m naive.)

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.
Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

A good book to read right now is The Third Reich in Power by Richard J Evans. Things happen slowly and they happen in a specific direction. It’s useful to see it from the perspective of those who didn’t know what was coming next. It’s inspirational to see all the ways people threw up roadblocks.

Welcome to the new Gilded Age. The Oligarchy wants you to die working for them and somehow, they got the masses to once again blame those less powerful than themselves. It really makes me wonder who they routed for in Star Wars. It is so hard not to be pessimistic watching this dark age solidify.

The irony of it all is that the least wise of humanity are the ones making the decisions on how to erase uniquely human forms of expression.

When Chomsky gets it wrong, he gets it really wrong, as with Khmer Rouge, Assad, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Chomsky also excused and defended the Assad regime while Syrian leftists pleaded with him to stop: newlinesmag.com/review/choms...

Striking: In numerous cases, Republicans or GOP-aligned industries are now admitting that mass deportations and rolling back Biden's climate agenda could prove disastrous in their parts of the country.

Suddenly, Trump’s Ugliest Threats Are Facing Surprise GOP Resistance
One of Trump’s central campaign claims was that green energy and immigration pose a massive threat to American workers. But now it seems local Republicans think otherwise.

Republicans mythbusting Trump's BS: "Trump-MAGA “American carnage” mythology holds that reversing the elite-engineered energy transition and purging the nation of millions of undesirable migrants are key... In reality, the green transition and immigration are potential keys to revitalization."

Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.
