When a federal judge starts a ruling about the government's actions with an extended retelling of Kafka's "The Trial," you know the state of democracy in the good old US of A is in tip-top shape 🙃
Judge Boasberg's intro to the J.G.G. class cert. starts with Kafka.

![One morning, Kafka’s Josef K. awakens to encounter two strange men outside his room.
As he gets his bearings, he realizes that he is under arrest. When he asks the strangers why, he
receives no answer. “We weren’t sent to tell you that,” one says. “Proceedings are under way
and you’ll learn everything in due course.” Franz Kafka, The Trial 5 (Breon Mitchell trans.,
Schocken Books Inc. 1998). Bewildered by these men and distressed by their message, K. tries
to comfort himself that he lives in “a state governed by law,” one where “all statutes [are] in
force.” Id. at 6. He therefore demands again, “How can I be under arrest? And in this manner?”
“Now there you go again,” the guard replies. “We don’t answer such questions.” Undeterred, K.
offers his “papers” and demands their arrest warrant. “Good heavens!” the man scolds. “There’s
been no mistake.” “[O]ur department,” he assures K., is only “attracted by guilt”; it “doesn’t
seek [it] out . . . . That’s the Law.” Id. at 8–9. “I don’t know that law,” K. responds. “You’ll feel
it eventually,” the guard says. Id. at 9.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreihqu2ltxtejo74ua7znl7sifigkenohhszydiphitdvuvaf7qagka@jpeg)

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

I’m not a ‘nobody’, although I prefer that role. I’m often a voyeur only on these types of forums. As soon as Twitler Musk walked in with a GD $44B sink I immediately deleted my account on that platform. What a tool!
