Multiple law firms gave in to illegal, autocratic demands by the president. When it came down to it, big law firms didn’t want to risk resisting an aggressive president. Democracy is vulnerable and we won’t keep it unless people defend it.

The US electoral system pushes politicians to the left and right due to primaries, where politicians need to win over a small number of more polarized voters. We can change this system into non-partisan ranked choice elections so that politicians don’t need to bend over for the extremes.

Wolves don’t actually have alpha males. That idea was based on a study of wolves forced together in a zoo. In nature, wolves live in families. The mother and father of a family aren’t best understood as “alphas”, they are best understood as the mother and father of a family.
In Chimps, there isn’t just one dominant leader. The apparent alpha often does not lead in combat with other chimps, and the leader leads by cooperation and aid, not just force.
