In 2017, JANM was among the first museums in the country to see its leaders speak out against Trump’s anti-Muslim travel ban.
Japanese American National Museum Is Standing Up to Trump’s Attacks on History
“I just don’t believe for a second that museums can be neutral,” the museum’s president and CEO said.

Like The Clash insisting that rock pioneer Bo Diddley open for them on their first USA tour, against CBS Records' vehement protests. So Joe Strummer went on stage each night before Bo played and schooled the crowd on who this icon was. Now THAT'S fucking punk rock n roll!

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

one thing i find crazy-making is the idea that getting rid of the filibuster would make congress a purely majoritarian institution. bicameralism itself is counter-majoritarian! equal state representation is counter-majoritarian! the fact that senate elections are staggered is counter-majoritarian!

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Just remembering that Dick Cheney secretly intervened in a dispute over the Klamath River in 2001--and caused the biggest fish die-off in US history, with ~77,000 fully grown adult salmon piled on the banks of the river.

For Indigenous nations on the Klamath--the Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, Klamath, Shasta, and others--salmon are a huge deal--life itself. The destruction was crushing. But in the long run Cheney's move backfired. It galvanized resistance that led last year to the removal of four giant salmon-killing dams.
