They knew that Rumeysa Ozturk had done nothing wrong. They sent masked men to grab and detain her anyway.

They knew Abrego Garcia had a protection order from deportation. They sent him to a foreign jail anyway.

They know the Supreme Court has told them that Abrego Garcia must be returned. They don’t care.

There is no debate any more. This president is a direct threat to the Constitution of the United States.

What a great take…. It gives us pause to embrace uncertainty and to see it as a precursor to wisdom. When we welcome uncertainty we’re welcoming the wisdom that will fill uncertainty’s gift of void.

The longer I am on this planet, the less certain I become about most things. And the more okay I am with my uncertainty.

Perhaps wisdom begins when certainty loses its hold.

They’re Voting for Trump to ‘Save Democracy’

Democracy is the idea of the people ruling themselves. Well, who is the biggest class of victims in all history (to exaggerate)? It's the American Left. They're victims of patriarchy, colonialism, all kinds of __phobia, of boundary breaking, of narcissists, etc. etc. etc. That's the opposite of governing your self. So, when they say the word 'democracy' they seem to mean "my colorful-haired people getting their way." and if they don't, they declare victimhood. When the Right talks about democracy, they mean getting your own ducks in a row so that you can't be exploited so much through taxation and all the other things that will drag you down. then you can govern yourself and in your group. And you know the structures.
