New IJ lawsuit filed today challenging ICE raids of construction sites, wherein ICE detains American citizens in AL, rejects their proof of citizenship, and holds them without PC.
Worth a read, and more evidence of the wide gulf b/w what SCOTUS says is happening and what is actually happening.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Every Fourth of July, I read Frederick Douglass's important speech from that day in 1852 and ask my friends to join me. This year it hits even harder. "Your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery ... mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy." www.blackpast.org/african-amer...

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Let’s keep the context up front. In early April masses of NEH grants were terminated as “an urgent priority.” Those included grants that fund 50 state humanities councils, which do community-based work all across the country. And rigorously peer-reviewed grants to individual scholars & orgs.

This, plus the observation I and others have had, that this was NOT like how we were treated with BLM in 2020. It’s a “wow gee I wonder why 😒” at the cops, but I hope we can take full advantage of the comparative lack of repression and run with this energy as far as we can.
The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Listen. Sometimes historians make mistakes, like not fully filling out a citation that you swear you’ll remember on a first draft or cutting your bangs too short. I will work on the first one and sadly shall live with the consequences of the second.
