We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.
So the Republican Party has historically blocked:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP, or an evil, incurious idiot for a president and we still funded cancer research?
Yeah, that was like three months ago.

Donald Trump's flurry of pathetic, deranged posts this morning proves once again—that’s all he’s got.
Republicans in Congress might still be scared of his mean tweets, but the rest of the world is laughing at him.
An example that proves this quote: “…. half of social sciences these days seems to consist of deliberately impenetrable jargon to occlude and obscure meaning (if, indeed, there is any meaning at all) so it seems to be seen as some sort of feature rather than a bug. but “oh, that’s unparsable and/or incomprehensible to me; it must be profound” is a truly dangerous basis for intellectual belief ..."
A year or so ago, I emailed a contact at the Alabama’s Governor’s office and asked him: “If anyone …
Actually, reading the above, I am not even sure that the public health officials know what number of CT are being used as they are ‘proprietary’ and ‘not disclosed by the manufacturer’. So basically, the test results were being ‘read’ by people who didn’t understand what was going on and weren’t forceful enough to say, ‘give me the data or your product will be decertified for use in our jurisdiction’. That explains a lot.
I think you nailed it, with the possible addition of "The folks above me (in state gov or DC) said we have to accept this, so I guess I have to, but I don't want to admit that I don't know anything about how it is supposed to work." I suspect it was made very clear that asking for the product data was asking for an end to your career.
During a public health emergency you would expect the public health officials to show more honor and sense of duty to the public. Even under duress you would expect them to find methods of resistance, obstruction, non-compliance, feigned incompetence, etc. to get the word out.
A cynic might conclude that the real goal of the public health agencies is to worsen "public health."
Possibly, but I suspect the modal examples are just amazingly incompetent, and do whatever their bosses say. Those bosses are probably effectively in the pocket of the pharma companies, however, and so yea, they are probably entirely indifferent to whether or not some act makes public health better or worse, and act in ways that make it worse.
Everyone in every "important" organization intuitively knows what "The Current Thing" is and that they can't go against that authorized narrative. Nobody wants to be cast out of the herd.
My conclusion: "The home of the brave" doesn't have enough brave citizens.
Yes, I think most bureaucracies' survival function selects for the ability to be on the right side of the current political question. Those that would oppose that side for whatever reason are weeded out or remain at lower levels.
I don't know about the home of the brave angle. I can't quite understand how people can see such behavior in government institutions and not demand they be shut down. Seems like as often as not I just see people say "Those institutions were horrible! We need to replace …
Most of our "important" organizations are so captured by now that they could never be "reformed." As Ripley said in "Aliens," "We have to nuke (the planet). That's the only way we can be sure."
