A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

Their attorneys cannot find them. Immigration rights advocates cannot reach them. They exist now as detached from America and the loved ones they were forcibly, and suddenly, separated from.

Could @bandcamp.com please make user-defined playlists available in desktop mode? I often stream some of my Bandcamp purchases through my work computer, but it's frustrating to have to pick out the albums one-by-one instead of just selecting one of my playlists. Thanks!

You as a single individual DO NOT have to "keep up" with ALL of the information of every single thing happening across the entire world daily. You don't because it's impossible. Focus on a couple of things and act on those things. Don't feel ashamed that you are doing that.

Incompetence is not a bug of authoritarianism, it's a feature. The goal of authoritarianism is to avoid any & all consequences. And this by definition insulates incompetence from being ferreted out. Also, the suck ups get elevated over the competent folks. Competence simply isn't a qualification.

Rodney Taylor is a beloved Georgia barber who came to the United States from Liberia with his mother when he was only two years old. He applied for citizenship but was denied. But this year, ICE arrested him, locked him up, and has scheduled him to be deported to a faraway country he's never known.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs. Here's a resource collection of non-US services to replace email, search, docs, music, video, backups, and more: www.wired.com/story/trump-...

I chuckled listening to Ben Rhodes talk about "social movements" being the thing most needed now. These are people who have had COMPLETE contempt for movements over the years. ALSO he doesn't even know what movements are or entail. Soon, we'll hear the POD BROS using the same language.
