The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

If we only wish to laud the perfect, very soon we will have none to laud at all. People are messy, complex, self-contradictory, sacks of chemicals from the very best to the very worst. To seek heroes as champions is to forever be disappointed. Take wins where you find them, increments matter.

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive

Today, Emmett Till would be 84. I wrote a little about him in my chapter in “Desegregating Comics”. A photo in the Chicago Defender showed the bed he and his cousin were in on the night Till was kidnapped. The sheets are rumpled and the foot of the bed is covered in comic books and newspapers. 1/5

How does JD Vance know what Trump was allegedly writing or drawing in 2003? Vance was still in his teens and hardly in Trump’s orbit.
