It’s a great moment to remember that in the leadup to this popular uprising, the first major gut-punch was delivered by Budapest Pride. Poetic justice. 🇭🇺🏳️🌈
Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Even if they Pod Save libs *are right* (big if) that anti-trans sentiment swung the election, the idea that we should abandon justice when it’s unpopular is so repugnant and regressive I can’t even get my mind around it. We fight for justice because it’s right, not because it’s popular.

I don't know what is going on with this popular repurposing of "restorative justice" to mean "no consequences for perpetrators" but hear me when I say, absolutely the fuck not

Diddy is not getting pardoned by Trump.
In fact, a Trump justice department will double down on Diddy.
And not because of an interest in justice, it will be very popular with the MAGA base.

So is Diddy..
Eric Adams caught the break of a lifetime when Trump won.
Now, he is almost certain to get a pardon.
Some conservatives think that Adams was targeted because he pushed back on migrants. (BS)
Adams has been defending Trump lately and his criminal defense attorney is Elon Musk’s personal attorney.

not the only thing but prob can't be understated how much 2020-2021 pissed off these guys. remote work, a substantial, popular racial justice movement that led to ppl talking about/bringing politics to work. employees having just a hint of a sliver of market power. feels like retribution for that.
t is probably worth thinking about what is happening in Silicon Valley as a revolt of the bosses against their workers. none of this is rational. it is simply causing misery for the purpose of causing it.

One extraordinary thing about Pritzker's speech: saying this won't last forever and justice will eventually find the perpetrators.
Shouldn't have stood out so much. But did, because way too many US elites in politics, media, business, etc. are acting like it's popular and permanent. It's neither.

Most politicians are fighting for power, not justice. They want to be popular, not truthful. The truth is often unpopular.

“Is it that the Chief Justice doesn’t accept that the Court is losing credibility on a daily basis; that he thinks the Court doesn’t need that credibility in order to fulfill its intended role in our constitutional system; or that he doesn’t care?”

The Supreme Court is much less popular and much more divisive today than it was when John Roberts was sworn in as the 17th Chief Justice on September 29, 2005. And at least much of that is his fault.
