I think The Oresteia, The Leviathan, and Thucydides should be required reading in every freshman year of high school in America. We're civically corrupt without everyone understanding those texts. Send tweet.

Blue states need to be doing the Idlib strategy of building up their own much larger administrative states to quickly reinstate actual existing bureaucracy once this government falls.

Here’s a small, easy thing Dem communicators can do: when stories like this break, call the reporters and a) ask to be contacted going forward on stories within their jurisdiction, b) give them a blistering statement, c) blast it out on all channels. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them
An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

"fuck you and your entire law school, you bigoted hack" is the kind of energy we need more of, good on Judge Reyes
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

One republican senator - the absolute dumbest one, in fact! - held up 400 military promotions for a year. On his own, from the Senate minority.
when democrats vote for cloture 97-0 for these whackjob nominees and then tell you "its complicated" when you complain about them aiding and abetting trump, be very aware: they are lying. none of this is complicated at all. all they have to do is oppose.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

A take that might just be my own preference is that ideological liberalism needs to come back. Overtly non-ideological “technocratic” liberalism has been a political failure.
It’s important people have an emotional attachment to liberalism itself. That’s the first line against authoritarianism.

Rhetorically powerful. Not actually that useful for understanding anything given that Canada's military is structurally underfunded (<2% GDP, very little of that on acquisition, and what is acquired is often worse, late and more expensive than peer nations).
The NYPD costs about 1/4 of the entire military budget of Canada
This Fox segment on the search for the shooter is incredible. Look at how the NYPD searches Central Park lol

I’ve really flipped on “tech won’t save us” because it seems to have gone from correctly noting that you can’t solve the collective action or principle-agent problems with apps to being resistant to ever admitting that technological change could change the underlying constraints of specific problems
