Donald Trump might believe he’s going to overcome his historic unpopularity by sabotaging the midterms. On October 17, millions of Americans are taking to the streets again to make it clear that’s not happening. Please join us for the next No Kings Day.

Oh my heart is so full reading about this. The US Colored Troops were huge in the story of emancipation and in the human dignity of enslaved Black people. For the first time they had weapons and uniforms, just like white men.

And like yeah it's complicated right because we're now inculcated with the idea that violence is bad but in 19th C America the right to commit violence to defend your family and home was inextricably tied to manhood and masculinity.

For Black men to be forced to watch violence be perpetrated on their families without the right to retaliate was another way to dehumanize and humiliate them and enforce that they were less human than white men.

Captain just got on and comes on the intercom: "howdy everyone, I was on a different plane down the way and they were having some maintenance problems so they grabbed me and said how 'bout you fly this other one instead, so give me a minute or two to get settled in here and we'll be on our way."

An Ithaca police story. Many years ago, pre cell phones, a young woman riding a bike on a narrow, steep, windy street near my house was clipped by an impatient driver going same direction. (Riding on sidewalks is illegal here.) I heard the accident and went to check if everyone was OK.

The most successful ethnic cleansing and genocide campaign in world history, is the United States takeover of North America. There were almost 100 million Native Americans living here. Now you can go to a place named something like Ohio, or Malibu, or Miami, and not see a single native American.🤷🏿‍♂️

Spent some time this morning drawing a raven. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Art. Black and white drawing made of abstract shapes and lines showing a raven or crow in flight. It's wing is above it, caught mid-flap, and it's feet trail beneath it. It's eye is fixed ahead, looking at the horizon and the future.

Beyond the horrifying reality that a hospital is trying to "clear the pentobarbital from [Christa Pike's] system" currently, the litigation over Tennessee's actions this week will shine a very clear light on the many, many reasons why governments should not be trusted with killing their citizens.

Again: for Black Women, in particular, the ability to chose, a time and place to reproduce is a function of liberty. The most fundamental fact of enslavement was the Black Women had no control over their reproduction; in fact, their ability to reproduce was a key source of other’s wealth.

Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

The inversion of status quo by SCOTUS to mean “let government continue to act illegally” rather than “pause the government action to return the situation to before the government acted” makes the entire US legal system a laughing stock to anyone that ever studied law anywhere in the world.

The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

This was the first thing I wrote after I left the Washington Post almost three years ago. What a wild ride (to hell) it has been. gillianbrockell.com/one-neat-tri...
So, here it is - with apologies to my former editor for getting this out way too late - one neat trick that proves the Civil War was not about states' rights:
If the Civil War had been about upholding states' rights, then slave states would have been fine with non-slave states passing laws protecting Black residents who had self-emancipated ("run away") from slave states. Slave states weren't fine with that.
They pushed a federal law - the Fugitive Slave Act - that superseded states' rights, forcing federal marshals to arrest and transport these people, regardless of the laws of the state they were in.
Bloop! That's it!
In the lead-up the Civil War, this was a common point made by antislavery activists
- a ubiquitous thing we have somehow forgotten, like sewing our own clothes or shape-note singing.

The big problems with Wednesday’s SCOTUS order allowing a Tennessee execution
SCOTUS cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike over the dissent of the Democratic appointees. The order from the court’s Republican appointees is alarming on several fronts.
