The Curious Case of the Missing Shepherds by Lawson Akhigbe

I love this phrase:
"presumption of regularity”
It is in the lawsuit, filed by former CIA Director John Brennan against the DOJ and Trump administration, it states that the Trump/DOJ can no longer be trusted - the DOJ "no longer deserves the presumption of regularity”.
For lawyers, the phrase “presumption of regularity” has a specific legal meaning.
It refers to the longstanding principle that government officials are generally presumed to perform their duties lawfully and in good faith unless compelling evidence suggests otherwise.

Leonard Leo has spent decades building a well-funded network influencing the U.S. judiciary. As Senator Sheldon Whitehouse states @2:07, "a billionaire dumped on Leonard Leo a $1.6 billion slush fund." He outlines how this ecosystem operates--and why it matters for judicial independence and public trust.
Worth understanding how these relationships shape the courts:

"Právo je pro lidi nesrozumintelné. Ombudsman kritizuje stát za chaos" -- "často vytváří situace, v nichž se občan v právním systému ztrácí. Dávno tak podle něj už nemůže platit, že neznalost zákonů neomlouvá." -- "diskriminace starých lidí je nejčastějším způsobem diskriminace u nás" -- "největší úspěch v roli ombudsmana, je to posílení role veřejného ochránce práv jako lidskoprávní instituce. 'Podařilo se mi snad přispět k pochopení, že lidská a občanské práva jsou skutečně pro všechny, a nikoliv jen pro ty, kteří se jich hlasitě domáhají. Snad přispět i k tomu, že rozdělování občanů na menšiny k ničemu dobrému nepovede a že potřebujeme nejen rozmanitost" -- " úřad veřejného ochránce práv dokáže účinně korigovat chyby státní správy. „V 97 procentech případů, ve kterých jsme upozornili úřady na jejich chybné jednání, tak svá nesprávná rozhodnutí napravily." -- "největší neúspěch naopak označil nedostatečnou součinnost některých institucí. Zejména tam, kde byla zjištění úřadu politicky či institucionálně nepohodlná"

When the Clouds Begin to Part: Reading the Signs of Democracy’s Renewal – January 13, 2026 – A DWD Editorial
Silhouetted Americans standing together as storm clouds part and sunlight rays form signposts over the U.S. Capitol dome.The clouds may not be gone yet — but the signposts are visible.
When the Clouds Begin to Part: Reading the Signs of Democracy’s Renewal
Opinion • DrWeb’s Domain
For many Americans — and for millions around the world who have watched the United States as a democratic north star — the period since January 2025 has felt like standing inside a gathering storm. Institutions strained. Norms bent and some broken. Constitutional guardrails tested. Who truly expected the Supreme Court of the United States to roll over for Trump as it has? That is not right-wing. That is simply crazy. The noise has been relentless, the rhetoric exhausting, and the stakes unmistakably historic.
Yet history teaches something equally important: democratic collapse does not arrive all at once — and neither does democratic recovery.
Recovery begins with signs. Subtle at first. Then unmistakable.
If one listens closely beneath the thunder of daily crisis, it becomes clear: the clouds may be parting.
The First Signs: Institutions Remember Who They Are
One of the earliest and most hopeful indicators of democratic renewal is institutional memory reasserting itself.
Courts have continued to issue rulings that quietly but firmly reinforce constitutional boundaries. Career civil servants have refused unlawful directives. Inspectors General, auditors, election officials, and local administrators — the so-called “invisible infrastructure” of democracy — have held their posts. Many have done so under extraordinary pressure.
Democracy does not survive because of speeches. It survives because ordinary people inside extraordinary systems decide, again and again, to do their jobs.
That is happening.
Public Resistance Has Shifted from Outrage to Organization
Another critical sign: the public response has matured.
In 2017–2021, resistance was loud, emotional, and often reactive. In 2025–2026, it has become something more durable: structured, patient, legally grounded, and strategically national.
Voter registration is surging. Grassroots legal funds are multiplying. Journalists are collaborating across outlets and borders. State governments are coordinating constitutional defenses. Universities, bar associations, unions, faith groups, and veterans’ organizations are issuing joint statements rooted not in ideology but in constitutional principle.
This is what civic adulthood looks like.
Authoritarian Power Always Overreaches — and the Overreach Is Now Visible
History is unambiguous on this point: authoritarian atttempts collapse under the weight of their own ambition.
The more power attempts to centralize, the more resistance it creates — not just among citizens, but within the machinery of the state itself. Fractures are now visible inside political coalitions that once appeared unified. Economic confidence wavers when rule of law is threatened. International alliances grow cautious. Investors, courts, businesses, universities, and professional associations begin to hedge against instability.
Power that depends on fear is always fragile.
The World Is No Longer Standing on the Sidelines
Another hopeful signal: the global democratic community is no longer silent.
Foreign courts, human-rights bodies, election monitors, international media, and allied governments are actively documenting events inside the United States. This matters. It constrains excess. It preserves record. It establishes future accountability.
Democracy is no longer merely an American inheritance. It is now a shared global responsibility.
What Comes Next: The Great Recovery of Democracy, 2026
If the past year was about resistance, the coming year will be about reconstruction.
The Great Recovery of Democracy will not arrive through one election alone. It will unfold through a sequence:
- Legal clarification of constitutional limits
- Electoral realignment driven by turnout
- Institutional reforms reinforcing checks and balances
- A generational renewal of civic participation
- A recommitment to shared factual reality
This is how democracies heal — not by erasing conflict, but by re-anchoring legitimacy.
How We Will Know We Are Winning
We the People are winning when:
- The rule of law reasserts itself over political convenience
- Elections regain their authority as final arbiters
- Extremism begins to fracture from the inside
- Public trust inches upward
- Young Americans choose engagement over despair
Most of all, we will know we are winning when fear no longer drives the national conversation.
Looking Up Through the Clouds
Looking Up Through the CloudsThe clouds have not yet vanished. But the sky is changing. Keep watching the skies!
And history shows: once democratic momentum returns, it moves with extraordinary force.
After 250 years, the American experiment has learned its hardest lesson once again — and it is remembering its purpose.
The road ahead is long.

The Putin administration’s approach to the Second Chechen War demonstrated a willingness to subordinate legal #FirstPrinciples to #NationalSecurity concerns.
This approach “substantially retarded the growth of a #RuleOfLaw state” as “a certain callousness toward law spread north from the Caucasus”.

Don't feel like a man or woman? Feel like... just a person?
Questioning and just want some space? Or do you feel distinctly ungenderable today?Support Ryan in their legal case for the UK Government to stop assigning genders to people who aren't into it! Let us correct the gd paperwork already.
Yes, I'm kink-shaming policy right now! Treat people like people, gdi.
It's nice to just exist as an individual person.I'll wander around, do daily tasks, or fill forms that affirm my right to live life -- wildly enough! -- left tf alone.
I don't think a train company really gives a crap if I wear a dress or a cravat.
Just... having a grand old time, existing in a way that is apparently queer: 'as an human'. That's it.I don't think marketing teams shit themselves over an 'X', 'I', or 'U' outside the two letters you were told to assume were possible.
Oh yeah, and intersex people exist too. Some are cis.Donate if you can! Share either way! Thank you! aaaaaaaa!

Not buying into his lies, independent voters in Arizona don't believe Trump did nothing wrong.
"He's delusional. He's still saying the 2020 election was fraudulent. In Georgia, he was definitely trying to gain votes he didn't have. That's an illegal process. Absolutely I support the Georgia indictment. The justice system should play out and I don't think he should be pardoned."
