The Palestinians and their supporters didn't create our current predicament. It's a convenient, counterproductive deflection to lay the blame at their feet, and given the degree of destruction and suffering they've endured, it's also sadistic.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

This by Dan Savage is I think important to keep top of mind. It speaks to the point I made earlier that bad news is never the only news.

Something I keep in mind regularly is that we don't all need to be fighting the same battles. There are too many fronts for that anyway. Engage those fights most meaningful to you and leave the others to other people.

Some lessons: 1. Don't hire someone you fuck to work on a case with you. 2. The justice system in this country is obscenely tilted towards the rich and powerful. 3. Democrats are always held to standards that Republicans regularly shit on.

In 4 years of asking swing and surge voters their chief beef with Dems in focus groups, #1 thing we hear is "they don't fight." When we ask them to liken Dems to an animal, top choices are slug, sloth, turtle & tortoise.

Jim Crow lasted longer than the lifetimes of everyone who was an adult when it was created. There's no inevitable backlash or thermostatic response sometimes darkness descends and it's just like that for several generations.
