"It’s jarring to see social media culture ridicule our state... while simultaneously adopting our beloved traditions." At the link, Deah Berry Mitchell reflects on Juneteenth not as a performance, but as a deeply rooted ritual passed down through motion, memory, and presence.

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

Trump’s Beautiful Disaster is better for billionaires than anything in their wildest dreams. According to the latest CBO analysis, it pulls a reverse Robin Hood: it takes from the poor to give to the rich. From @ddayen.bsky.social:

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

There is a lot of nostalgia for the "end of history" moment at the end of the 1990s but a lot of the ills of modern society can be traced to that era of complacency and spiritual vacuousness www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Remember when Colbert roasted W at the 2006 correspondents‘ dinner, quipping that “reality has a well-known liberal bias”? Twenty years later (almost), and the NPS is now required to crowdsource “information” based on personal feelings because the historical facts are deemed too unpleasant. Cool. 🗃️

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

The weirdest thing about the school-reopening discourse is how no one wants to specify when, precisely, schools should have reopened. This article treats it as a scandal that schools were still closed in September 2020 but we were heading into a bigger wave than March!

President Trump took yet another step Tuesday to place NPR and PBS at the center of his broader clash with major cultural institutions, formally asking Congress to take back the $1.1 billion it has set aside for all public broadcasters for the next two years.

There has never been an American golden age. The 1950s? Great economy but Jim Crow was still in place. Women were still property of their husbands. The era of the Robber Barons? Genocide of Native Americans? America has always been a work in progress, moving forward in fits and starts. Until now.
