On this day in 1915, the Supreme Court upheld a law providing that an American woman could be stripped of citizenship upon marriage to a foreign husband. U.S. men marrying foreign women were permitted to keep their citizenship.

Before it was banned for being woke, we used to talk a lot about the social determinants of health.
@niniandthebrain.bsky.social has a phenomenal summary of how these factors influence health and why comparisons to Europe miss the point.

For 381 days, 40,000 Black residents refused to ride segregated buses. They walked miles in the heat and cold, organized carpools, and supported Black-owned cab services. They sacrificed comfort and safety to fight for dignity and justice—and they won.

Our ancestors showed us the blueprint—now it's our turn to pick up the mantle and keep fighting back. Our economic power is organizing power. When we're intentional with our dollars, we build a world where we are not erased, neglected, or crushed by fascism.

Americans work a lifetime to earn the right to retire with dignity.
Instead of protecting that right, Republicans are focused on undermining workers and citing supposed "harm" done to massive corporations. They must stop going after retirement benefits. Our seniors deserve better.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.
