"In the moment, we never know what our place in a larger lineage of struggle is going to look like. Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, we keep hope and decency alive. Sometimes, we build countercultures that give the next round of resistors a sense of who they are and what they’re made of."

Today would have been Coretta Scott King’s 98th birthday. She was more of an activist than MLK when they met, his political partner, & the “family leader” on issues of global piece and anti-colonialism. From my research for KING OF THE NORTH: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

My favorite MAGA argument right now is, "If we give everyone due process, we'll never be able to deport 12 million people." True! Also true: If we give everyone due process, we'll never be able to kill all left-handed people. If your plan requires suspension of due process, your plan is bad!

Are you an editor with interest in a 1300-word OpEd on Israel’s now-admitted execution of 15 emergency health workers that puts this massacre—and lies about it—into context by drawing from peer-reviewed evidence of Israeli targeting of hospitals and health workers over 18 months?

Tenants in the Bronx fought the owner of their building for over a decade to get basic repairs made. Last week, in a rare move, the city removed their landlord as owner, clearing a path for the residents to take over the building themselves: as a co-op.

To me, this is the easiest layup for DC Democrats. Go to the IRS, chain yourselves there and raise the alarm about this so that USians understand what they are doing.
