This museum reveals more about modern America today than anywhere else.
"The National Museum of African American History and Culture is not a place that traffics in improper ideology," Clint Smith writes. "It is a museum that recognizes that America has been suffused in improper ideologies for most of its history." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
What It Means to Tell the Truth About America
And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

Ukraine did what he asked; Russia did not; and now he will blame Ukraine and cozy up to Russia. This whole peace thing is a distraction from the ongoing war that Ukraine has no choice but to fight because it is being asssulted every day.
Ukraine accepted a ceasefire, Russia did not. This is Trump’s response: “if, for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people' & we're going to just take a pass”
Trump says US will 'pass' on Ukraine peace talks if no progress soon
Trump's comments came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the US could abandon talks.

I tend to have themes of the day & I will definitely be focusing on the topic of climate change and the environment over the next ten days (and beyond).
Thank you for the inspiration--it is a crucial topic indeed!

Lauren first shared her story last month, calling the Trump administration’s invocation of the xenophobic wartime law to deport people to prisons in El Salvador without any due process, “an assault on our fundamental freedoms.”

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

When Trump said he wanted El Salvador to build five more super prisons it’s for exactly this reason. The far right and the fascists have spent a decade using the amorphous signifier of antifa to label anyone that opposes them as a terrorist and now that will be used to disappear anyone they please.
As we predicted: Joe Kent is planning to use the law enforcement apparatus to imprison Black activists and antifascists as “terrorists,” essentially unleashing the far-right terrorists of the Proud Boys by looking the other way as they get the green light.

and if you’re not clear on what Frankel means, @repstansbury.bsky.social went to the local Social Security call center and wasn’t allowed in because they are not allowed to talk to our elected officials and tell them what’s going on

Today, I went to our Social Security Office to conduct Oversight and was denied access to meet with officials.
Instead, we were given a generic phone number in another state and denied entry past the waiting room.
Here’s what we found out ⬇️
