There was so much fear that day in Charlottesville. We’re not afraid today in DC. #DefendDC#AllOutDC
Just chatted with a reporter. Press inside the perimeter are leaving because they can’t see either the Nazis or counterprotestors.
The north end of Lafayette Park is all antifascists, maybe a few thousand. 17th and Pennsylvania full of antifa.
I’m at 15th and New York and it’s almost empty. A handful of leftists, mostly cops.
White vans just left Lafayette Park with police escort. Looks like the Nazis are leaving this way, out the 15th and New York exit from the park. #DefendDC#AllOutDC
Large group just left the Lafayette perimeter at 15th and New York. Unclear if press. #DefendDC#AllOutDC
Now the cops are leaving.
Looks like it’s press that just left.
The Nazis are apparently gone. Fled like cowards under heavy police escort. #DefendDC#AllOutDC
Prediction: Next week will solidify autocracy in the United States.
Trump will use the Rosenstein story as a pretext to fire him, and then fire Mueller.
Kavanaugh will be confirmed, cementing a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court and ensuring that the executive's actions will not be subject to any meaningful legal oversight.
It strikes me that if the criteria for “legitimacy” is popular democracy, then the current federal and many state governments (I’m looking at you, North Carolina) are “illegitimate.”
Even the DC city gov’t is “illegitimate,” as it’s poised to reverse a voter referendum on raising the minimum wage for tipped workers.
SPOILER ALERT: Remember how, at the end of “Sorry to Bother You,” Cassius repeatedly went on national TV to warn people about WorryFree and nothing happened?
Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh’s alleged accomplice in his alleged attempted rape, is the author of “God and Man at Georgetown Prep.”
Oh, and here’s a Daily Caller column where he blames the liberals and the gays for introducing their effete and immoral sexual agenda into the Catholic Church. dailycaller.com/2011/01/27/geo…
Let me state this unequivocally: The political transformations required to accomplish this are impossible. So what does that mean for the future? motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…
It means that the politics of the 21st century--and beyond--will be first and foremost the politics of living on a dying planet.
At its most dire, it means the politics of managing human extinction.
@SethCotlar 1) The way Sullivan describes conservatism is very similar to @CoreyRobin, as a defense of entrenched privilege expressed through an established social order.
The difference is that Sully thinks this is a good thing.
