anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

Raymond Chandler, letter to a friend, January 1948. Seems relevant beyond the specific Hollywood context.

I am so not at home for the "Oooh, this was just performative" sneering. You cynical humps of self-congratulation, the fucking Trumpists are performative ALL THE TIME. They set a vibe! Their vibe is "there is no law and we can break everything." God DAMN do we need a resounding counter-vibe.

"I was challenged by my own constituents to do something different; I was challenged by my own constituents to do *something*; I was challenged by my own constituents to take risks..." Words spoken by Cory Booker, but the credit is to *unelected everyone*. CB will get the credit but YOU DID THIS.

Alright, this is fairly inconsequential... but I may have just spotted some plagiarism (possibly accidental) from a former judge from the 5th Circuit. So to start, I was googling "Willy Wonka legal trouble" — as one does — and I found this humor piece by John G. Browning, located here: (1/?)

Ugh, I hate it when Sauron and Saruman accidentally include me in their group texts...

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

So that health inspector who travels 300m/day to make sure your meat and dairy aren't going to kill you is now paying for gas out of pocket. Sure thing buddy.

And arrogant. Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
