Remember when XML-RPC got cool so everyone rushed to haphazardly attach endpoints to their stuff? And then how also everyone found that maybe they should have rushed less to a more complete solution that actually took care of things like… security?
Ok, now: MCP.

If we’re serious about defending democracy, it’s not enough to hold our government accountable in court.
Lawsuits against the Trump administration are fine,
