@CommonSparrow @heidilifeldman I think, at the start of this egg-smashing lawlessness of the Trump administration, the judiciary were still assuming that the executive branch would act in good faith, as all the other administrations had before them. I've seen the language change from "care to explain?" to "do you think I'm stupid?" to "stop messing around" -- but this one is next level, wow.

Glen Kirschner on YouTube is a good one to follow if you want to keep up with the legal shennanigans (and how the judiciary are holding up the rule of law).

@heidilifeldman
"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

WOW. That is SCATHING. And utterly deserved.

Some people get upset when others aren't repeating all the bad news; they say that those others are "ignoring" or "suppressing" the news, or are "not taking it seriously enough" - they think that everyone should be screaming angry, as screaming-angry as they are themselves.

They are free to be screaming-angry; there is a lot to be angry about. But anger is a diet which does not sustain; it burns hot, and then it turns to acid.

Posting about good things reminds us what we are fighting for, reminds us that life IS actually worth living, reminds us that we are all connected; restores our faith in humanity.

These are good things.

@CStamp Naw, bad news is only a lower bar because they have so much practice at it.

It is rather interesting to ponder that it is an accepted truism that "good news doesn't sell"... and yet I am finding that things like #3GoodThings, #Bloomscrolling and #Caturday are FAR from boring.

I suppose it is that mainstream media are catering to the prurient desire for gossip.
