Expletives in discourse by public officials ought to be rare, perfectly placed, and used only when nothing else will suffice. Like this one.

This week my city council voted to expand an urban highway, further destroying historically Black neighborhoods in the process. Their justifications relied on intentionally misremembering the brutality of urban renewal and urban highway projects.

If highways through the city are "good" and "needed," why aren't there any through the wealthy white part of Charlotte?

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

At best, older workers will struggle to find health insurance that bridges the years before they qualify for Medicare at age 65.

One of the basic points in Mills' The Racial Contract (originally published in 1997!) was that, if nothing else, White Supremacy deserves to be taken seriously as one of the great motivating ideologies of modernity and it's bizarre that political philosophers are so disinclined to treat it as such.
