The duumvirs are defying some of the court orders that told them to restart some of the government activities and agencies they have shut or wrecked. They are pushing for absolute power. They openly say that laws and judges are supposed to serve them, never limit them. This fully

The British lawyers working in Britain to defend Hong Kong democracy activist Jimmy Lai have been hit by a campaign of threats of violence and cracking attacks on their bank accounts as well as other forms of cracking and physical harassment. We have to presume that what the wrecker

The wrecker is shutting off funding at the NIH for research on infectious diseases. RFK is ideologically opposed to research in that area. I don't know for certain, but I expect that Congress decided how much funding to put into that area, which would imply that these cuts are illegal,

*Missouri sues Starbucks, claiming "systemic discrimination" via DEI. [In it's suit] claiming - without evidence - coffee chain's hiring policies cause higher prices.* This is an example of a widely repeated harassment tactic: sue until the victim can't stand more lawsuits.

The UK regularly sentences women to prison supposedly "for their own protection". That is obviously an injustice, and it often has the opposite effect.

[3/4] prohibition of blasphemy - or its secular, ecumenical version, prohibition against expression that would hurt the feelings of believers in some religion or other. I suggest that countries instead pass laws forbidding the operation of a social network that is owned by hateful foreigners. In other words, treat ex-Twitter and Facebook the way the US for a while treated TikTok. Also, to prohibit operating a social network so as to drive people to use a specific recommendation engine.

[2/4] antisemitism through false accusations. This is on top of his other efforts to support European neo-Nazis. I disagree with Robert Reich on one pertinent question. I think it is an injustice to prohibit expression of certain views and attitudes - even those that I condemn, such as antisemitism, racism and sexism - and even to prohibit insulting a person. This is one of the aspects of European countries that make me uncomfortable. Another similar injustice in European countries is

The wrecker has two contradictory goals: to reduce the federal government's office space, and to make every employee work in the office five days a week. When they all come in, they can't get work done because there aren't enough desks - or parking lots. Soon many of them will be out sick from Covid-19 or flu.
