A bundle of anachronistic non-sequiturs. She/her. I am an enigma even to myself. Happily under-babied.

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

Have to be clear just how dangerous this is. If it continues, it effectively removes constitutional rights from an entire class of people. Imagine you had to fear that if you criticize the regime, any error on paperwork filled out by your family decades ago could be used to strip your citizenship.

Without robust safeguards for borrowers, the World Bank Group's push to expand microfinance for economic development in conflict-affected areas risks causing financial harm to already vulnerable populations, writes Amy Ekdawi.

"It will all work out in the end." "Everything happens for a reason." To me this kind of language always comes across as gaslighting, even when it is well-intentioned. But yes, it's definitely characteristic of American Protestantism.

Ossoff is cutting out the middle man on the debate stage by directly asking the opponent a question he knows could be a minefield. I feel like this is something I haven't heard a prominent Democrat do in a long time, or at least I haven't seen it done so effectively.

Executing a search warrant while early voting is underway in Minnesota, on an old, moldy "crime" is all you need to know about the motivation here. Absolutely no reason not to wait until the second week of November. It's abundantly clear that this is about politics, not a legitimate prosecution.

This is right. Like Omar or not, this is dangerous dictator behavior. Also, once again it's Trump doing the thing he falsely accuses his opponents of doing to him.

COVID was probably part of it, I agree. I'm from out Annapolis way and I was starting to go in to H Street around that time. Since the return after COVID, I don't get invited to stuff around there much.

A perfect example of something I wrote a minute ago. You never said know-nothing rubes should make the decisions and recommendations. Yet this person read the know-nothing rubes thing into what you said.

Same - a lot of liberals read stuff into what Tom writes, maybe because they don't read carefully, but also because they jump to conclusions about one statement to extrapolate something he didn't say. It's an emotional defense mechanism. Understandable, but not logical.

Today is the anniversary of the infamous 1871 Chicago fire, as many as 300 dead. But it’s also the anniversary of the less famous Peshtigo, Wisc., fire, also in 1871, with as many as 2,500 dead. People jumped into the Peshtigo River to try to survive the 3-day fire that covered 1,875 square miles.
