Don't do this. Don't give me hope just so it can be dashed against the rocks again.
there it is. the concentration camp was built in the wrong spot, that's the problem with it.
Environmentalists are good at figuring out how to make every spot the wrong spot. This can sometimes be a good thing
I'd hope you're right but I'm literally afraid of hope atm.
(Quoted from Rewriting the Future by Susan Kaye Quinn)
Reframing hope as a motivator instead of a passive expectation has helped me gain a bit of footing concerning my outlook on the state of the world.
There is worth in small changes like this one. It is alright to acknowledge it when good things are happening, even if they don't (immediately or ever) lead to the desired outcome.
Don't be disheartened.
thank you
here this reminded me of what is worth fighting for today.
The fuck else you want?! Judges don't get to make laws, take cases at will. They rule on what's in front of them.
oh sorry I was assuming everyone else wanted no concentration camps too thats my bad
Does no one read the fucking material?! The only item she brought before her was the ecological question. So yeah, that's why she ruled as she did. Judges can't go outside the scope of the case just because they feel like it.
yeah i read it don't interrobang at me like i pissed in your cereal.
it's absurd that apparently the most compelling case to make against the existence of a Concentration Camp is a temporary injunction against new prisoners and construction on ecological grounds until the case can be brought before a supreme court that, i dunno about you, but i dont expect to be terribly sympathetic to the ecological argument quite frankly. and like, yeah the article does specify that they should dismantle the generators and stuff but like, uh... who's enforcing that, exactly? i mean what's stopping them from just, y'know. not complying. again. with another court order. about migrants. another one.
but like yeah for sure they got al capone on the tax evasion thing so sure if it sticks i guess. i'm already holding my breath in anticipation.
Take a step back, BIG breath. All the judge had to work with was the environmental issue, that's what the case challenged. She cannot bring additional challenges.
And YES, enforcement is the next question, and we all know how that will play out.
