my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

So the price of challenging surveillance becomes disclosing the very associations you say were surveilled. Finally, a good reason to call something Kafkaesque.

Tati Abu King sued the state of Virginia, saying he'd been illegally stripped of the right to vote. And he won. “I want to set a precedent for my kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews. I can’t tell them to go out and vote if I can’t do it myself,” he said.

A Voting Rights Promise, Betrayed for 156 Years - Bolts
After the Civil War, Congress readmitted Southern states on the condition they not expand felony disenfranchisement—but they quickly ignored the restriction. It has finally caught up with one state, with a federal court ruling against Virginia and reviving the Reconstruction-era promise.

Tucson, not even a checkpoint: agents smash windows, drag a US citizen to the ground, falsely claim he had a gun — then assault the man filming it. Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, § 242, all violated in one stop. This is what 'law enforcement' looks like when profiling replaces probable cause.

I've spent days hunting down details about an enslaved woman named Ruthy who was accused of poisoning her enslaver only to outlive him, be acquitted, & live to see freedom. These are hard stories, but I'm finding joy in his estate being charged $100 for her defense & $500 for the failed prosecution.
Screenshot of a probate seeking $500 as a "fee for prosecuting slave Ruthy."Screenshot of probate document saying that for "Defending Slave Ruth charged with attempt to poison" a fee of $100.

I am not a fan of the phrase “core memories” in general, but this is maybe the most deranged use of it I’ve ever seen.
In Lancaster, doctors say many are flocking to local clinics and pop-up vaccination events as cases rise. But others, like the
King family, remain resolute in their decision not to vaccinate, instead preparing to ride out what they hope will be an inconvenient summer interruption that builds character and family bonding.
The family isolated in their home for weeks in June while all eight unvaccinated children, who range in age from a year old to 15, recovered from measles. Their 14-year-old son experienced the most severe symptoms, and went to the emergency department when coughing and nausea rendered him unable to keep down water or medicine.
"Measles isn't fun, seeing your kids sick isn't fun," said Gina King, 41, who lives outside New Holland. But, she added, "I know this is going to be added to the King family core memories."

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.
