Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at the Appomattox Court House on this day 160 years ago.
I am thankful for Lee. His mediocrity as a general and arrogance as a strategist were of enormous benefit to the Union.
I encourage all to shit on his grave if the opportunity is ever presented.

Our access media should reckon with the fact that the president is very suggestible, and they play an active role in creating his fixations.
His behavior is on him, but his enthusiastic selling of US citizens to foreign slave prisons will be in part bc he was goaded into it by this sort of thing.

Trump says he wants to send Americans to gulags in El Salvador: "I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wiseguys that push people into subways ... if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don't know what the law says on that ... I'm all for it."

Well-meaning folks ask "why" the techreich seek to destroy biomedical science and patient care.
Asking commits one to hearing the answer, which is: public health impedes their rule. We are ill, but not ill enough to maximize their power over us. So we must suffer. That is the whole sum of it.

Booker is modeling a generous patriotism, condemning the indefensible, but giving offramps to those in thrall of evil.
It will not change votes.
But! What he is doing is essential. It is a ghostlight, stubbornly illuminating the space where civic ethics lived, and will yet live again.

I'd like to say my never-Newsom position is simply a moral stance, and it is.
But also: we need winners. A person whose judgement has them lighting their credibility on fire for clicks is not a winner.
Failing both the moral test and the stench-of-loser-shit test?
It's gonna be a no from me.
