I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Good story by @ginnymonk.bsky.social, Andrew Brown and the @ctmirror.org on Connecticut's seemingly very harsh system of charging people for the time they serve in prison -- sometimes even after they've died. ctmirror.org/2026/09/27/t...

They served their time in prison. Then the bills arrived.
Hundreds of CT residents have had money seized through a law that allows the state to charge a fee for every day a person spends in prison.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

Before COVID, the grab-and-go deli sandwiches at my local market cost $4.99 each. From 2020 to 2025, they stayed around $7.99-$8.99. Now they are $12.99-$14.99. It's all airport pricing now. It's "They're trapped here. They'll pay whatever we want," except for the entire country.
