This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:
Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Democrats just ensured they will be blamed 100% for the shutdown, just the dumbest possible people

We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

The Democratic Party needs to go the way of the Whigs. We need Lincoln but the party is run by Millard Fillmores.

Oh hey, a reason to be hopeful: groves of American chestnut trees have once again become self-reproducing in the wild.
Turned off comments so 12 people don't show up to tell me why this is actually very sad. Be happy, you assholes.

Nearly a Century Ago, American Chestnut Trees Died Off. Now, Hikers Can Walk Among Them Again.
Efforts to restore the American chestnut comprise "one of the most epic conservation stories ever told.”

I know from personal experience what Jamaicans are going through tonight. It’s impossible to fully describe, but I’ll try.
At 19, I moved to the island of Guadeloupe shortly before it was hit by Hurricane Hugo, a category 5 monster.
We were lucky enough to live in the tallest building…1/15

Last night, Eric made dinner for my final night. Then we walked over to the sento. Gojo Guesthouse has been my Kyoto home. They are closing in May. One of my little boltholes is going, and I don’t like it. I don’t want to return. I really don’t. I just feel a lot of loss these days.
