A great piece on what repealing the 1973 Home Rule Act would mean - both for democracy in DC and the practical administration of local affairs. But in the end, the Lee-Ogles bill seems less like a genuine effort to restructure local gov't and more like another chance to beat up on the District.

🚨The Trump admin is moving to terminate Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians in the United States, seemingly illegally moving up the expiration date from next February to August of this year. In a single day, 500,000 people could lose work authorization and deportation protections.

conservatives aren’t actually afraid of subways and public transit, they have a very specific goal. they want big cities to seem scary so that less people to move to them / leave them so they’ll move conservative states instead, and so that they can privatize public transit

Lots of good exchanges in the replies. Seems many folks are unaware of the deep roots of non-Jewish support for Zionism in America, which predates Israel's founding and has decidedly non-Jewish roots. Lots of research on this, but here's an accessible primer: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Major turnout to last night's meeting, where South Shore neighbors floated lots of ideas and concerns about the future of the 71/Jeffery Walgreens site. Among the most popular were a health/wellness center, a replacement pharmacy and a restaurant. blockclubchicago.org/2025/02/20/s...

In addition to DOGE.gov’s poor security, observers have criticized the fact that it does not showcase any of DOGE’s actual work in detail. The website was only created after reporters grilled Musk on where they could find DOGE’s work.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.
