Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

70% of this i think is that josh o’connor is a marvelous actor who really carries the thematic and emotional core of the story on his shoulders. there is one particular scene that i actually found genuinely moving.

If SMU loses and Duke goes to the ACC championship game, it would be so funny. As a Duke fan, I'd love to see it.

My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.
But worry not, he has a footnote explaining why his fixation on Soros "is not political."

A reminder that this echoes strongly of blood libel - the idea that a barbarous 'other' is partaking in an act of ultimate desecration by consuming something precious and innocent.
He’s still repeating that lie. Video link in replies.

If anything, we are actually deeper into a Worse Case Scenario today than these headlines reflect. This is too mild for today.
Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man

Headlines like this — "Morale is extremely low at CBS ahead of Bari Weiss taking over" — is, perversely, a key reason Paramount's leadership paid such a ridiculous premium for Free Press. The *point* is to break the real journalists. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Future historians will understand that the key factor in the slide to authoritarianism was the total collapse of the GOP as a pro-democracy party, & the total failure of its not-actually "moderate" & "pro-democracy" rump minority to ally with Democrats & put an end to fascism. But sure, Murc's Law.

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Here's the problem with allying yourself with fascists: They're fascists.
Their concept of allyship and loyalty is constantly fluid. Just because they were your friend at one moment it does not mean they will be later should they believe there is an advantage to be had.

It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.
