“No, we stole that term from you Black folk. And now it’s ours, because we use it. We use it to mean that the concerns and perspectives of you Black folk are annoying or wrong or dangerous, as a way of ignoring and dismissing those concerns and perspectives. Like I’m doing now—does that make sense?”

@oldmanweldon.bsky.social I hope you do a critique of Dave Rubin on Real Time and/or Club Random, because did you know that Dave Rubin has a weekly segment about Bill Maher called "Maher Monday," where he basically just heaps praise on him every week? He’s basically your Wario! 😂

I hate the line that the Constitution is "colorblind." The reconstruction amendments gave the Constitution eyes with which to see discrimination, ears with which to hear the cries of the oppressed, and a mouth with which to speak the law against it. The Court made it a blind deaf mute for a century.

I was just listening to @profmmurray.bsky.social on @podsaveamerica.crooked.com and she described the Articles of Confederation as a government based on friendship bracelets. I’m totally stealing that description (with appropriate credit given of course).

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

Anyway, good morning from this evergreen quote from a guy we teach the kids is a great American hero
Frederick Douglass quote from 1857:

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power conceded nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.

1/ @oldmanweldon.bsky.social This atheist with a God complex thinks that celebrities should stop speaking out on issues because they're costing Democrats elections. He also claims that they "don't strike people in most of the country as sensible or in touch with reality." (Projection much?)

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

And just as a reminder, the Obama-era IRS "scandal" the right was so enraged about here was the agency simply questioning whether explicitly partisan Tea Party organizations were eligible for a specific tax-exempt status that, by law, forbade the recipients from engaging in partisan politics.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Trump and the Republicans more broadly are highly unpopular right now. Does that seem to have restrained them, to force them to tack towards the centre, to temper their ambitions? Perhaps there is something there the Democrats could actually learn from.
