The vital currency in all modern political disputes is the public's attention. The more you escalate a conflict, the more attention you get, and if you're in the superior, more defensible position - which may not be the most POPULAR position, at the outset - fighting it out wins people to your side.
Forcing them to fight for every inch - and escalating every conflict to the utmost - spends their time, their legal resources, and makes each subsequent battle RISKIER for them rather than SAFER, as you’re constantly testing public acquiescence and you never know when popular opposition might emerge

@jda5id.com - did y’all encounter this too?
Mind-boggling stupid of Israel to capture Greta Thunberg's boat. They absolutely should have let her deliver her aid to Gaza and let the entire flotilla crews see Gaza for themselves.
But no.
So stupid.
Gideon Levy: “Are you sure that Israel has the moral right to prevent such a mission from reaching Gaza? We should salute the 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg, who are attempting to reach Gaza on the Freedom Flotilla aid ship. “It's an act of conscience, an act of courage.”

I want to be clear on this: the reason for the unrest in LA is these are LEGAL immigrants who are doing EXACTLY what they are supposed to by going to ICE check ins that many have been doing for years, and seeing them getting rounded up including at naturalization preparations.
Don’t blame a clown… 🤡
Unreal - how does an immigration attorney not realize she IS an immigrant???
Worst. Episode. EVER.
