There is a chance that it leads to a strengthening of democracy, but I really have little hope of that happening without things getting really ugly.

Education of the masses is the key, but they've made education prohibitively expensive. Even K-12 education is a joke unless you live in an affluent area already.
When Elon made the ridiculous declaration about how it's stupid that a judge anywhere can block a president, people loved him for it. But that's exactly how the system is supposed to work. The masses don't know this, so they lap up what Elon and other authoritarians tell them.

It's a weird one though. Like the guy they were going to nab after he left the courthouse seems to be the exact sort of person ICE is supposed to deport - someone who was already legally deported and snuck back in, only to commit a domestic assault. Obviously arresting the judge for trying to hide the guy is nuts, but it's also kind of nuts to try to hide the guy.
Anyway now there's this.

It's probably only a matter of time for Proud Boys and other extremist groups to take advantage of this by becoming "volunteer" ICE agents and start kidnapping people.

Guess who was the only attendee of the pope's funeral to wear a blue suit and tie? Oh, and he fell asleep, too.

Of all the stupid #### to be upset about. It's not even true, there were other people in blue.

It is a petty thing to be concerned over, but does the guy not have a tailor? I am more offended over how ill-fitting that is. Looks like he bought the closest-sized suit he could find from Winners.
