I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

Microsoft gave $1 million to the inauguration fund and Satya Nadella sat two seats away from Vance at the WH AI luncheon nine days ago. This is what bending the knee gets you.

This 3 minute story is probably more informative and substantive than any comparable length segment on the network news broadcasts over the last month. It's not sensationalized but still conveys the gravity of the situation.

Our built infrastructure robs kids of their freedom of independent mobility. Streets are dominated by oversized vehicles, piloted by aggressive and distracted drivers where one mistake can turn lethal. We sacrificed child development to subsidize the auto industry.

I had an editor say to me that they wanted to do a story on W’s favorability going up in the final weeks of his presidency. I had to ask them if they understood that it was because people were glad he wasn’t going to be president much longer.

The funniest thing about the Schmitt rake stomp is that if it'd been a Dem we'd have a week of think pieces about how Dems lack of hoops literacy was alienating them from real America.

It's a great baby safety tip.
A large glowing baby in a field. A man, in awe, looks upon the baby. The baby says: Listen closely, friend. My time here is short, because there are a lot of bugs and it smells like swamp. Tell them to lay babies down to sleep on their backs, without blankets or pillows, every time. The man replies, Ok! Thanks, Great Baby!

In destroying the Voting Rights Act and gutting the 14th and 15th amendments, the Roberts court is recycling legal arguments once advanced by Confederates and white supremacists to destroy Reconstruction. From me and @ariberman.bsky.social

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

Also it’s kinda like you need an effective communicator to explain and publicize the “big things” you’re doing all the time rather than hoping people will read a press release or read the smug posts of “thought leader” Matt Yggleggigas.
