#ResistanceRoots Margaret Chung was born on this day in 1889 in Santa Barbara, Calif. She was a medical doctor and philanthropist who shattered racial, gender and social norms in the first half of the 20th century. Her life was defined by her unique role as a military recruiter during WWII. /1
Dr. Margaret “Mom” Chung. Chung rewrote the rules of what an Asian American woman, a physician and a civilian could achieve in 20th-century America. She broke institutional barriers in education and medicine, revolutionized healthcare access for marginalized women, and bridged the divide between Western medicine and traditional Chinatown cultures. Operating outside formal government channels, she built a massive, cross-branch network of military personnel, Hollywood icons and politicians. She served as a clandestine recruitment and vetting resource for the U.S. military. Her behind-the-scenes lobbying helped expand women’s right to serve in the U.S. armed forces. She was also a trailblazing queer icon who proved that strategic brilliance and unwavering patriotism could force even most conservative systems of her era to honor her.

A professional basketball team fired a broadcaster they had just announced hiring after they learned he had posted racist and sexist comments online as a teenager. How long before some right wing media or politics person loudly gives him a job? A day? A week? www.nytimes.com/athletic/765...

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.

It's not that America doesn't have the capacity to feed the poor...it's that it will never have enough to satiate the rich. And so, in the richest nation on Earth, hunger remains less a failure of the harvest than a successful business model—where the rich feast, and the poor foot the bill.

The criminal system sees women as resources to be consumed for its own benefit. Their bodies are the site of assault, rape, attempted murder (or murder). They can be useful, but disposable. It "protects" women so long as they accept patriarchy as a master.

Hardly a surprise, Eritrea has formally hit back by announcing a complete rupture of diplomatic ties between the two countries. Ethiopia had expelled 10 Eritrean diplomats, but didn't actually order the Eritrean embassy's closure. Now, the embassy in Addis Ababa could likely be vacated anyways.

You drive by it. For an idle hour you think about buying. Yes, it's dilapidated, will take a lot of work to get it right, but for an hour you dream. Then you think about how isolated it is, wonder why it's been abandoned. For reasons you can't fathom, you ponder its ghosts and let go of the dream.
