I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

one of the interesting thing i have seen in the platner discourse is a refusal to confront a thing on its own terms. to his pundit supporters, platner isn’t a novice candidate with perhaps questionable judgment to be evaluated on his ability to win, but a symbol to wield against rivals

Two things can be — and are — true here:
Bowser is not the champion DC needs in this moment, and The Washington Post has become a Trump rag.
A newspaper that actually cared about the city in its name would not publish such an inflammatory, bullshit headline.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.
Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.
There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

"The fact that huge mine-resistant vehicles are being driven aimlessly around a city that is notably not littered with IEDs tends to indicate that their presence is meant for intimidation, as the same kind of vehicle was used during South African apartheid."
We could have, you know, made D.C. a state when we had the chance, @ryanlcooper.com inconveniently points out.

Thread. Read it.
In 2014, a young journalist outed a trans woman in a story for Grantland about golf clubs. When she learned she was going to be outed, she killed herself. The story ran anyway. Many of my journalist friends praised it and then defended it.

For Micah Parsons, Terry McLaurin, Trey Hendrickson, and other players in contract years, there's a powerful piece of leverage lurking in plain sight. They can make it clear now that, when the postseason rolls around, they will not be playing.

Some of my fellow Jews think a college kid wearing a kaffiyeh is a greater threat to their personal safety than an authoritarian government rounding up people to send to torture camps and the world's richest man who made a Nazi AI, and I'm really not sure what to say to them anymore.
