our 3yo has a play doctor’s kit that comes with a little thermometer where you press a button and it randomly switches from red/frowny face to yellow/neutral face to green/smiling face and anyways this seems about as accurate

not to be glib but this entire argument presupposes a small-d democratic opposition playing mostly within the “old” rules and, at most, relying on mass mobilization against the authoritarian regime. just seems odd to treat the regime as the only entity capable of violence in the most armed country

The remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington was the second time in recent days that it was unable to persuade grand jurors to bring an indictment in a felony assault case against a federal agent. And it amounted to a sharp rebuke by ordinary citizens against the team of prosecutors who are dealing with the fallout from President Trump’s move to send National Guard troops and federal agents into the city on patrol.
