I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Clinton's the 1st President to essentially close the border. Until then, migrant workers came & went w/ relative ease. In the intervening yrs, leaving & returning became riskier, so many simply remained, undocumented, so they could continue to work & send money home. It doesn’t have to be this way.

This is my church today.
Brandi Carlile's accompaniment for "America the Beautiful" before the game last night was SistaStrings. The duo, Chauntee and Monique Ross, played another American anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," on the Library's Stradivarius instruments in 2024.
Here's a clip of that impromptu performance. ⬇️

One of the fun things about the dim eugenicists and bigot billionaires harping on generic "white culture" is they've mythologized concepts that they barely inspect. Irish and Italian immigrants were living in ghettos alongside other minority groups because they were not considered white at the time.

This young girl was battling stage 4 cancer when ICE agents took her Dad.

Ofelia leveraged social media to fight for her Dad’s release.

To call out the cruelty of ICE.

She won.

A judge ordered him released on compassionate grounds & they spent her last month’s together.
Ofelia Torres, Teen With Cancer Who Fought For Father's Freedom From ICE, Has Died
Torres, 16, died Friday. Her father was arrested in October, the day after she returned from more than a month at the hospital for cancer treatments. She shared her family's plight, and her was father...

Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

some past “multicultural economic zones” you may recall include the Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the British Empire.

while all of these had significant problems “no one will die to defend them” was memorably not among them
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Was hooked from the first few strikes on the xylophone. When I discovered my girlfriend (now wife) had an original press, I knew it was kismet.

The Epstein files make clear how easy it is for "elite" academics to get away with lying for personal gain.

In 2011, for ex, Harvard professor Shing-Tung Yau asked Epstein for $1.5M to keep 6 professors from leaving Harvard, adding "of course, I shall come up with some serious proposal." 1/

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
