dc statehood is non-negotiable after trump's actions in his second term. republicans despise the people of the city that hosts them, and there is little reason to think that, now that the seal is broken on treating them as an occupied population, a next republican president will be more restrained

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...

Walter Kim, president of the National
Association of Evangelicals, told RNS that while he affirms the "need for justice" regarding Hasan's crime, "at the same time, a live-streamed execution by firing squad risks turning one of the state's most solemn responsibilities into a public spectacle, promoting a culture of death, rather than a culture that upholds the dignity of every human being."

It's also interesting how you rarely see various pundits or publications hounding Republicans to condemn the legions of fascist podcasters, radio hosts, talk show hosts, columnists, etc that have made their careers turning up the racism and fascism dials to 11 on a daily basis.

Shitbag Trump, Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend, who was found liable for sexual abuse / rape in court, sanctioned the ICC because the Nobel Peace Prize went to Navi Pillay, a former ICC judge who helped establish rape as an act of genocide. Let that sink in. Rubio fully complicit.

The Dem firm TargetSmart looked at early voting in the 229 counties that are currently reporting it. Latinos are nearly 8% of early vote. Nearly 112,000 have voted early, more than 2024 in raw votes. Check out the details here: newrepublic.com/article/2164...

If Dems Win, Incribe This Chart on Trump-MAGA’s Political Gravestone

A new analysis by a Democratic data firm shows that Latino turnout in early voting is outpacing 2024—a presidential year. That could be a big problem for Trump and the GOP.

That anecdote about the telephone came from looking at every page of the San Francisco Chronicle from circa mid-1876 to 1878, looking for an account of a fire I did not find, which for me is a reminder of how automated searches can only find what you're looking for, not what you're not.
