It’s getting dicey, but these things do matter as much as they feel like they don’t because everything feels lawless.
Things only stay lawless if the law fails to be enforced. Trying to get through the courts is at least trying to do that.

Scary times. I remember being told I was being alarmist during the Bush years. Being right sucks so hard.
