I’M STILL RECOMMENDING THIS: “My suggestion for the GOP is that they now start hitting the Democrats with single-subject bills that will have to be voted up or down, and that will be very politically expensive for Democrats to oppose, when they’re clearly presented without a lot of extraneous legislative cover.”
Well?

NO JEWS, NO NEWS:
On this day, 11 years ago, the Yezidi Genocide began.
Men were massacred, women and young girls sold into sex slavery. Their people nearly wiped out at the hands of ISIS.

THE COMING PREFERENCE CASCADE:
Anti immigration protests in Britain threaten the state because they are an explicit rejection of the universalist ideology of the elite. Once we recognise an Eritrean cannot be an Englishman (nor a man a woman) the creed of the regime collapses. It will be like glasnost and… https://t.co/HbjP9XxjgG

MASSIVE RESISTANCE: More than a dozen states still not complying with new Title IX interpretation. “Currently, 18 states, plus the District of Columbia, are refusing to comply with a Title IX executive order issued by the White House.”

WHAT’S MORE, THEY’VE ALWAYS KNOWN IT:
It's worth spelling out why they act like this.
Britain's establishment is aware that the migration policies it imposed have been an economic and social disaster. It also knows that it would be completely delegitimising to admit this. https://t.co/g35HDy4s65

WELL, IT’S A MAJOR DISGRACE: Trump Turns Judicial Corruption Into the Next MAGA Landslide.
In a sense, Trump is a wrecking ball, but in another, very real, sense, the institutions he’s crashing through have wrecked themselves, as when a District Court issues an opinion that reads like a sophomore paper on the transAtlantic slave trade from Brown University.
Related: Trump’s Next Winning Issue: Judicial Malfeasance.
All the institutions had to do was act normally and Trump wouldn’t have had so much power over them. But they couldn’t help themselves, because they’re run by crazy partisans with an exaggerated sense of their own importance and abilities.
#JOURNALISM:
This has been one of the most disturbing weeks I can remember in the media.
The New York Times and media establishment more generally got repeatedly busted for broadcasting fake starvation photos of Gazans.

A PREFERENCE CASCADE IS LOOMING:
Local police forces haven't quite twigged that attempting to conceal information is now doing quite a lot to fuel "tensions", and in particular the impression that the state is not on the side of its people. https://t.co/W9hLgKIn4H pic.twitter.com/ZtiMlHN0cj
