Colson Whitehead’s Harlem Trilogy, which concludes with his new novel ‘Cool Machine,’ is both unapologetic crime fiction and a grand statement on the laws of the universe. David Hajdu on Whitehead’s moral vision:

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

Canada ran a segregated Indigenous hospital system for thirty-five years—and most Canadians have never even heard of it. Author Elaine Dewar uncovers a parallel health network that was chronically understaffed, medically inferior, and rife with abuse. ow.ly/t4Ln50YPwA7
On the left: a sepia-toned image of a two-storey brick hospital with pine trees out front. On the right: text that reads “How residential school students became victims of Nazi race science. Torn from loved ones, Indigenous children suffered brutal medical injustices.”

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.
A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. 

Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

A record-breaking 133.5 million viewed Bad Bunny's halftime show — making it the most-watched Super Bowl performance in history. This stunning achievement comes despite seething Republican backlash at Bad Bunny’s decision to perform solely in Spanish & proudly represent his Puerto Rican heritage.

Climate injustice made an appearance at the Super Bowl last night. Most don't know that Puerto Rico struggles with reliable electricity due to systemic racism. The government refuses to invest in any real grid improvements, so lights will be kept on at resorts while Puerto Ricans sit in the dark.
