The ban is unlawful and we'll fight until it is lifted. We will win again.

In case you didn't know where we are the coup process, we're at the part where the coup plotters openly reject the constitution and declare a set of laws made up by themselves.

We have arrived at the overthrow of the US government, unless Democrats or the military do something useful very soon.

And frankly, don't hold your breath.

The Constitution is not a bargaining chip for a budget negotiation
The Democrats demanded that Trump's immigration cops follow the law and the Constitution. The Republicans called those demands "nonstarters."
Radley Balko
Feb 16, 2026

"We need to be clear about something. The Democrats’ demands aren’t “common sense reforms,” as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer described them. All but a few are already the law — and most of the others are either longstanding norms in U.S. policing or the foundational principles of any free society. The “demands” are really just restatements of what most people already expect from law enforcement and democratic government: No secret police. Immigration officers shouldn’t be arresting and incarcerating U.S. citizens. Cops can’t threaten, beat, and arrest people who are for exercising their First Amendment rights. Cops can’t kill people with impunity.

This is basic stuff."

#Media organizations hold #power.

With power comes #duty. That duty is simple: show #reality as accurately as possible. Not only what is comfortable. Not only what feels safe. Also what is uncertain, complex, or uncomfortable.

If a highly powerful political leader repeatedly confuses countries, shows sudden speech disruptions, or displays noticeable physical changes, this is not #gossip. It can be an indicator of #cognitive decline. In medicine, patterns matter more than isolated events. One mistake can be random. Many similar mistakes over time are a signal. #Science works exactly this way: it looks for repeated deviations from normal baselines.

This is where the #moral #responsibility of the media begins. Media do not need to #diagnose. But they should not completely ignore signals that are being seriously discussed by qualified experts. Because omission also shapes public reality. In #psychology, this is known as #normalization through #exposure. If something is ignored often enough, it starts to appear normal.

Pop culture illustrates this clearly. Imagine a sci-fi series where a spaceship crew keeps ignoring warning lights. Every episode they say, “Probably just a sensor glitch.” Eventually the warp core explodes. Not because nobody could see the problem. But because nobody wanted to say it out loud.

Or think about multiplayer games. When one player is clearly lagging, the team adapts strategy. They do not pretend everyone is perfectly synchronized. Recognizing reality is the basis for good decision-making. Politics works the same way. Voters and institutions need an accurate situation assessment.

The concept often described as “sanewashing” reflects a broader social tendency. Humans and institutions prefer stability. The #brain likes predictability. That is why deviations are often downplayed. But science shows that early #warning signs are crucial. In #medicine. In #climate #research. In #engineering safety. And in political #analysis.

A common counterargument is: without a confirmed diagnosis, nothing should be discussed. This sounds careful. But it is only partially scientific. Science often operates with probabilities, not absolute certainty. Evidence-based expert hypotheses are not taboo. They are part of #knowledge formation. The key is #transparency: What is proven? What is #hypothesis? Who says it? Based on which methods?

If media avoid all relevant expert hypotheses out of #fear of being wrong, an #information vacuum forms. That vacuum will be filled by uncontrolled sources. Social media rumors. Extreme narratives. This weakens #trust in professional #journalism.

Honor in journalism does not mean #perfection. Honor means #responsibility. Moral #integrity does not mean zero risk. It means pursuing #truth despite risk. The principle “tell it as it is” remains correct. But “what is” constantly changes. Reality is not a frozen picture. It is closer to a live stream. Showing only old frames is no longer truth.

In pop culture terms: Reality is not a finished movie. It is an open-world game. New events constantly appear. If media only show the starting map, they mislead the players.

Therefore, media institutions should evolve their #tools and standards. They need clear, ethical frameworks for discussing medical or cognitive warning signals in extremely powerful public figures. Not sensationalist. Not #disrespectful. But also not #blind.

Because ultimately, this is not about individual politicians. It is about systems. About #democracy. About informed citizens. Truth is rarely comfortable. But ignoring it does not make it less real.

Moral journalism means this: Do not only report what appears stable. Also report when #stability itself may be in #question. That is where real responsibility begins.
