Today is the anniversary of the British evacuating New York City after the end of the Revolutionary War. Here's how I learned about it: the piece that introduced me to the terrific work of @bencarp.bsky.social
Evacuation Day: Marking the End of the Revolutionary War

The Trump admin has repeatedly filed court documents claiming the only place they could deport Kilmer Alberto Garcia was Liberia. Yet since August, Costa Rica has said they’ll take him on humanitarian grounds and grant legal residency. How much more does this man have to endure?

People who advocate for electing the president by popular really are saying that federalism shouldn't matter - largely because they like the way that big cities would control elections. (For now.) This is dumb, especially now, when federalism has been a godsend.

I just realized that Majorie Taylor Greene likely picked January 5th because it would (barely) make her eligible for a congressional pension.
A House Member has to win three consecutive terms and serve at least five years. January 3rd marks her fifth year in Congress.

The great @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains why this new Trump-backed Ukraine plan sells out Ukraine, Europe, and democracies across the world. Take a few minutes and watch.
It is hard to put into words how much damage Trump is doing to our own country, how unfit and malevolent he is.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.
