Whoa
"We Failed"
One of the largest newspapers in Denmark is apologizing for its journalistic failure during COVID-19 by only publishing official government messages without questioning them. Via @Niemandsknecht

Here’s an idea, why not donate your booster shot to a developing country so that someone can have their first vaccine?

This is so outrageous. Whistleblowers have become our media. The media have become gossip papers. Law has become inverted. Crime has become legal.

I hope this email doesn't find you at all. I hope it searches for you in the dark places, the damp places, where bright-eyed creatures call to it from hollow trees and from between stalagmites. I hope this email becomes one of them. I hope it forgets its own subject line.

Bats can hear shapes. Plants can eat light. Bees can dance maps. We can hold all these ideas at once and feel both heavy and weightless with the absurd beauty of it all.

Remember when Nuns, monks, & priests were arrested in the capitol for peacefully protesting against children in cages and the separation of children from their parents at the border while they wore the faces of young children that died in concentration camps around their necks?

Thinking about abstract captchas. “Select all images representing respect” “Compassion” “Fairness”
“Select all images that lead you to question your notions of reality”
“Select all images that make you ask whether you’ve made the right choices”

Don't forget #DanielHale. Dec 1. Near total media blackout on this case.
We've been droning countless innocent civilians in multiple countries for about 10 years now. And the only one being punished for this monstrous program is the one guy that told the truth about it.
I represented a number of them— including Daniel Hale, whose trial starts Dec. 1 and has received almost zero coverage. Pls DM. @JaneMayerNYer can vouch for me.

It's really disheartening to realize the extent to which so many people prefer quick, straightforward catharsis to complicated conversations that might actually lead to mutual understanding and implementable, longterm solutions.

In other words, a highly respected Supreme Court justice has done something truly extraordinary. Sotomayor has singled out the 11th as a rogue district that has abandoned the rule of law.

We reviewed three drafts of DHS's unreleased homeland threat assessment. None mention Antifa or anarchists, and all say white supremacists are the most lethal domestic terror threat

With the courts striking down the NSA's mass surveillance programs and crediting the 2013 revelations,
And new laws having been written to curb abuse both at home and abroad,
As people around the country and members of Congress call for pardon,
How long should charges stand?
juliaxis retweeted
The ruling of the court demolishes the longest-held defenses of mass surveillance. After taking into account the best of the government's evidence, the court found the program unlawful and ineffective, establishing the government's public claims of "necessity" were deceitful.

Seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as a criminal for speaking the truth, I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the NSA's activities as unlawful and in the same ruling credit me for exposing them.
And yet that day has arrived.

Bats do not tell tales of long dead heroes.
Crayfish have no word for reputation and have no cause to need one.
Trees do not contemplate permanence or mourn its absence.
These are not shortcomings.
They are the old lessons.
They are the wisdom of life lived in the moment.
