Historian here ICE going door to door in Minneapolis is yet another illegal and unconstitutional action. Another violation of protections against illegal searches and seizures.

Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

1995 Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington, DC 30 year anniversary of the Battle of Ia Drang (14-18 Nov 1965.) I had dinner with the Ia Drang veterans (including Joe Galloway.) Gen Moore was the keynote speaker. Poem, "Out of the Valley" (c) constance lee menefee Names in ALT txt.
Left to right: Joseph Galloway, UPI  correspondent attached to the 1/7 Cav; Lt. Gen H. G (Hal) Moore (Ret.); CSM Basil PlumleyPoem, "Out of the Valley"
(c) constance lee menefee 

There is no direct flight
into the eyes of this general:
you must rub past all
who stood
when it was necessary
under the massif
after things got worse
much worse, and
the elephant grass regulars
closed their saw teeth
at X-Ray
and Albany
you must walk past
each of his precious blooded boys
as he tells you
that they came out of
the valley
with their heads held high,
and all of their dead;
that is what you must
know
before you can know him.

Juke joints were essential spaces in a 20th century Black entertainment ecosystem that stretched from coast to coast. Kale's Night Spot in Helena, Ark. was one of them: "That used to be a nightclub, a café or something ... a juke joint, as they were called." #BlackHistoryMonth photo 18/28. 🗃️

The suit challenges a Biden administration decision that considered "gender dysphoria" a disability and goes even farther in questioning assistance for students.
