The refusal to consider DC Statehood is largely a reluctance to give DC two Senators, which itself is a tacit admission that the United States Senate is an anti-democratic institution.
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.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

It is so interesting to me how many people in my life struggle to accept that what is happening is autoimmune. They would rather say things like “is this an allergy?” “What about shingles?” But when I say autoimmune they are really uncomfortable. Does anyone else experience that?

I moved my prescriptions from a CVS in Target to a CVS instead because even that partnership should fail. I could not agree more - capital has to know there are consequences.
I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

I cannot tell you how deeply uncomfortable autoimmune hives are - I haven’t been this uncomfortable since the beginning of getting Long Covid. I feel like I’m just complaining on main and should stop but the level of discomfort between pain and itch is so high. There is nothing else to do.

Tangential but the fact that Anjali had to add this explanation for her original post is a great case in point about why learning to *read* isn’t just about being being able to sound out words but also contextualize and the diminishment of this skill is part of the literacy crisis
A lot of people are pointing out that this guy is no prince among men and that JPMorgan Chase has done some stuff, and right—that’s what makes it so notable that this guy thinks there will be accountability for this stuff in the future. He believes this is the *strategic* choice. That’s revealing.

Right now the party feels immovable but the moment it has a presidential nominee, it will be whatever that person is.
