I’m genuinely worried it’s yet another deliberate denial of service against our ability to detect evil. I work extra hard to only pay attention to what is actually done that seems like it could stick.

Mostly I trust that good people in positions of trust (e.g. ACLU or EFF) will call out when there’s an opportunity for mass mobilization to make a real difference.

    Didn’t ACLU support Citizens United?

    Yes, but what-abouting them right now goes against the greater good. And since they realize their mistake and hopefully won't repeat it, we shouldn't give up on them.

    I’m not what abouting ACLU. They have done great work. Your article points out that AU has not changed their stance, but former leaders of ACLU believe their Citizens United stance is now wrong.

    All I’m saying is, EFF has CONSISTENTLY done good work. ACLU has shown that you have to take their work with a grain of salt. Most of the time they get it right, but some of the time they get it really really wrong
