When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

#ResistanceRoots Joseph Henry Sharp was born on this day in 1859 in Bridgeport, Ohio. A classically trained painter, he was captivated by the Southwest and focused on documenting tribal cultures and individual personalities. He became known as the Spiritual Father of the Taos Society of Artists. /1
Joseph Henry Sharp, ca. 1900. Sharp was a masterful visual historian and the visionary catalyst for New Mexico’s global art standing. His deafness, which began in childhood, became a professional asset, allowing him to bypass linguistic barriers to earn the trust of Indigenous models who rejected other white portraitists. Operating with a sense of urgency, yet treating his subjects with patience and respect, Sharp preserved the faces of a generation of Native Americans whose ways of life were under assault. His collection of more than 7,000 Western works, including his portraits of Little Bighorn survivors, stands as an irreplaceable historical archive. Sharp also set off the chain of events that birthed the Taos Society of Artists, transforming an isolated mountain village into an international powerhouse of American fine art.

So we wonder why the cops are aiding ICE in some cases... Here's why. Many work for them on a contract basis. But the police departments don't want us be able to see who is involved, nor the city mayor. In this case = LAPD. Scumbags. More criminal than those taken off the streets, to soul crush.

#ResistanceRoots Dorothy Vaughan was born on this day in 1910 in Kansas City, Mo. She was a mathematician, human computer and computer programmer who became the first African American supervisor at NASA. Throughout her career, she fought for equal pay and advancements and promotions for women. /1
Dorothy Vaughan in 1971, the year she retired from NASA. Vaughan was a visionary pioneer for women in STEM and a foundational architect of the U.S. space program. She broke through the dual barriers of Jim Crow segregation and gender discrimination to alter the course of aerospace history. Her calculations and FORTRAN programming laid the groundwork for America’s early aerospace achievements. By becoming NACA’s first African American supervisor in 1949, Vaughan cracked open doors that had been firmly shut to women of color. She spent her tenure as Section Head fighting for equal pay, promotions and engineering assignments for both Black and white women across the agency. When electronic computers arrived, she taught herself FORTRAN and trained her staff, saving dozens of Black women from layoffs and transitioning them into high-tech careers. Vaughan stands today as a symbol of resilience, intellectual brilliance and the indispensable power of community.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.
