If you study the successful rebellions and resistance and civil rights movements of the past, you will note that “people who spend their time publicly bumming out everyone around them by emphasizing how totally fucked everything is” do not play a central role, or indeed, any role at all

"This matter is no longer just about deportations or undocumented immigrants. The Trump administration's defiance of a Supreme Court order is a new step into presidential lawlessness," writes Adam Serwer:
The Constitutional Crisis Is Here
The Supreme Court told the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s infamous CECOT prison. So far, the administration is pretending to comply while refusing to do so.

“I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family & even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly 2 weeks. Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there.”
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

Within the span of 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, two airplanes, at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport and at Chicago’s Midway International Airport, were forced to abort landings to avoid collisions, federal aviation officials said.
Two Planes, in Washington and Chicago, Abort Landings to Avoid Collisions
The near misses on Tuesday came after a string of aviation disasters, including the midair collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger jet last month that killed 67 people.

Musk's Mismanagement Lessons: Don’t fire the guys collecting the money.
DOGE is laying off thousands of IRS agents in the middle of tax season, a move that will cost much more money than it saves.

DOGE does not have some magical IRS plan up their sleeve. There is no plan.
