Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Is Andor a “left-wing show”? Is storytelling/art fundamentally progressive? “The simple act of [empathetically pretending to live other lives] automatically gives you what I would describe as a more generous and progressive point of view.” [kottke.org]
