People are so brainwashed about Chicago being a crime infested hellhole that they assume white people and single family homes must be in the burbs. This is in the city.

Back in 1992 I got James Ellroy to sign my copy of WHITE JAZZ and his inscription — “Fear the comedy of the patriarchy on the skids!” — is exactly what we’re experiencing right now. Frightened wanna-be alphas who are lashing out for the lulz.

Sorry to hear Brian James, guitarist for punk rock bands The Damned and Lords of the New Church, has died at 70. In his career, he also played on solo ventures by Iggy Pop and Stiv Bators. James with The Damned live in 1977. #RIPBrianJames m.youtube.com/watch?v=QCaB...

You cannot disabuse people of empirically false beliefs that immigrants depress wages or increase crime rates if those beliefs are just functioning as socially acceptable substitutes for “I don’t like seeing a lot of Mexicans around.”

David Johansen, the last NY Doll standing, is gone. The band had it all: smashing songs, a singer who sounded like a New York City cabdriver at rush hour shouting at the traffic, a rhythm section that roared like a subway train, and a couple of guitarists with a killer array of riffs. And ... (1/2)

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

This, so hard. As a historian, I cannot emphasize enough how people have taken for granted peace and rights that millions died to achieve - in wars, in labor strikes, in hunger strikes, in marches, in social movements…and we’re watching that sail away because people were never educated enough on WHY

Democrats cannot simply respond institutionally to Trump. We need Extra-judicial, anti-institutional responses to meet the morality of the moment. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/politics/…

Institutional Resistance Is Futile

It’s time for the Democratic Party to abandon its staid, rules-based resistance to Trumpism and wage a fierce, moral response.
