The largest paying crowd in the history of Wrigley Field was the day Jackie Robinson made his debut. Wrigley is the only park left Jackie played a game in. Mike Ryoko was a kid at that ballpark that day and he wrote about it. Take a minute and read this today. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were outside Germany, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Here we go. The VAST majority of people on Medicaid DO work, or are in school full time, or are home caretakers for sick or disabled relatives/etc. "Work requirements" are the angle they're using because it SOUNDS reasonable on the surface, but in practice they're DESIGNED to fail. 1/

The ideas around “neutrality” and “bias” have done so much damage in the mainstream media. These ideas only work in one direction—against the left—and result in people in the industry who personally identify as left-leaning overcompensating and doing the right’s work for them

Since I've been blocked, quick recap: On a Black man's post alluding to Saturday's protests not being Black people's work, a white woman named herself as a ww and proudly proclaimed she did not participate either. When I asked why, she said she's put in her time and it's no longer her problem.

Again I always weird about pulling academic rank but I almost got a PhD in exactly this so please believe me: Successful social movements are built on this thing we call cringe We need the cringe

Protests being cringe is fine. South Korea just threw out their right wing president and their protests are full of families, glow sticks, goofy flags, free iced coffee, and K-pop. It's the numbers that matter.

"No police in sight." This vitally important. This why strategically white people have to do this first. If this were Black folks, there would be police everywhere. Good job!

This was a choice. Fine won by 8 pts in the district Mike Waltz won by 30 pts just 5 months ago. That the NYT frames it as “easily won” is a leading reason we are where we are. Headlines matter. Framing matters.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.
