If you wrote a book about US civil rights, especially in the 19th century, I would like to know about it. I also like dumb jokes.

The latest episode of my podcast Collateral Damage is up today.
When we started this project a few years ago, we had no idea how timely this episode would be.
It's about Veronica and Charity Bowers, a mother and daughter killed in 2001 when the CIA and Peruvian Air Force shot down their plane.

Episode Six: Airborne Imperialism
A U.S.-led program killed Veronica and Charity Bowers in Peru after mistaking their plane for drug smugglers. Trump’s Venezuela boat strikes make their deaths newly and urgently relevant.

On this day 55 years ago, blubber went boom at the Oregon Coast.
That's when officials made the legendary decision to blow up a dead whale.
Here's a look back at the explosive piece of Oregon lore with a 2020 story by OPB's Tiffany Camhi written ahead of the whale of a tale's 50th anniversary.

‘It was like a blubber snowstorm’: Why Oregon blew up a whale in 1970
The exploding whale is a piece of Oregon lore that just won’t go away. It’s one of those real-life stories that just sounds too strange to be real.

My thanks to the New Atlantis, letting me do this series on "How the System Works," and for removing the paywall today. It's maddening how little attention our society--and our political leaders, who take cues from us--pay to the systems that have made things better for so many billions.

African American veterans and their families and communities were essential to sustaining Black Civil War memory over the late 19th century and twentieth century. I discuss my own ancestor and others in Unforgettable Sacrifice. I proudly remembered them yesterday.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.
I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.
