Really the core mistake both moderate dems and republicans made this cycle was assuming the voters wanted what they voted for

Yeah, mega masters are such bullshit (actually attending one tomorrow). But yesterday the big news outside FP was a whole separate thing: people with withholding of removal, aka can't be deported back to their countries, being called in to ICE for check-ins for the first time in years or decades.

This isn’t even the only new fuckery the government is pulling at 26 FP. I assumed this article was going to be about how ICE has recently been contacting people with withholding of removal orders—including people who’ve had status for decades—and making them come in on short notice with no context.

But by the time of Last Ditch's monthly community meeting on September 11, only one of the original founders, Matellian, is still involved. The two others stepped back from the daily operation months before, Matellian says, citing various pressures and health issues. One had enrolled in clown school.

“mad men” was a great american novel. (we’ve had a bunch, people who want to pick just one are weird.) its tempo, characters,, themes and even its excesses were quintessentially novelistic, which is why it always feels weird to stack it up against traditional tv, and means it gets snubbed a lot.

the decision to play it straight is the most enjoyable part of the show for me. vulture’s review nailed it:
« There’s the basic practical question of how we’re supposed to believe that nobody has figured out who Russ is after more than six episodes. But there’s a more pointed conundrum lurking beneath it: What, exactly, is the endgame, and how could it possibly work? Does Russ simply live forever under an increasingly famous identity, trapped inside the lie that has become his life? There’s something genuinely nihilistic about that possibility, and it’s to Chad Powers’s credit that the show occasionally recognizes the cosmic horror lurking beneath its ridiculous premise. »

in history grad school, this is why we all hated reading most comparative texts by political scientists. it was so clear most authors weren’t doing their own research on their case studies, just relying on (and simplifying) the scholarship of historians as a jumping-off point for their theories.

it's not my favorite but absolutely nailing the "tore through a major city's queer dating scene over the course of 8 months and left an absolute crater in their wake, countless friendships destroyed and lives upended, hasn't been heard from since but there are rumors they're in corsica" look
emma d'arcy in a very loose oversized black three-piece suit over a dusty rose collared shirt open down to the closed vest. the pants ave wide and break very low over polished black shoes, and the jacket hits nearly at the knee, with oversized lapels that flare a few inches lower than normal. they're wearing multiple necklaces and rings, and what appears to be a silver fish brooch on one lapel, with wet look hair with single strands dangling down to their eyebrows

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.
