The Republicans are racists among other things.

Machine politics.
It is the way the system works.
The high rents are changing the power balance in the city.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee bothers me a great deal.

The U.S. is operated by "mob rule" modified by law.
That is democracy.
Citizens have been lucky in who leads the mobs.
Keeping public order and "the peace" is vital
The internet has become a public space.

I feel the lack of law leading to limited order.

"But as of now, less than a week before the trial is scheduled to start in Federal District Court in Eugene, whether the young people will get their day in court is still an open question. On Friday, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. granted a Trump administration request to put a brief hold on the proceedings to consider government filings that could derail the case.

It is unclear how long the delay will last, or what the outcome will be. The Supreme Court could even dismiss the litigation, though that would be unusual at this early stage."

Strategically the Trump administration must delay trial.
Dismissing this vital decision would bring more pressure on the Republican
majorities.  Letting it go to trial would do the same.
The Trump administration should lose in court.
A win would be a Pyrrhic victory.

I will cheer for the environment and act to minimize the damage my creature comforts will cause.

Electing autocracy is easy and popular in some quarters.
