Also notable in the story of Milwaukee helping free Joshua Glover: WI was the only state to declare the Fugitive Slave Act unconstitutional.

State resistance has progressive, liberatory roots, not just oppression. States must act, & ordinary people & civic orgs must act where states fall short.

What citizens did once to protect a free man during slavery can give us tips for today ⤵️ Wide Awake🕯️

On the plus side, it’s nice when they warn you off before you even meet them. Saves a lot of time.

🎵Take me out to the ballroom
Decorate it in gold
Find me some donors with lots of cash
I don't care if the East Wing gets smashed
Let me loot loot loot the taxpayers
And spread around doom and gloom
For it's 1, 2, 3 terms I'll spend
In my new ballroom! 🎵

Somehow it’s the mediocre or bad brownies that end up being the most disappointing. I can suffer through a lot of other not-good bakery and not think much of it, but a bad brownie feels like a personal attack.

Same! It is probably my favorite few seconds of the movie. Cracks me up every time.

We’ve got a few Piggly Wigglys (tagline: “Shop the pig!”) where I am, but mostly our groceries here are a bit more sensibly named: Metro Market, Meijer, Woodman’s, Pick n’ Save (plus Aldi and Trader Joe’s).

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

(15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan.

Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.

Halligan: Yes I do. Off record.

Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?

Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record.
There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.

She'd just shrug it off if you called it out. Like it was just the price you had to pay if you wanted some of her time.

Looking back, there were a lot of ego-based issues going on.

I had one friend who was nearly always at least 1/2 hour late to everything. Got so if we were making plans, I'd suggest meeting 30 minutes before I actually wanted to. She was still usually a little late.

So rude. I don't miss that nonsense.

Happy anniversary!

Took me four tries to get past the middle of S1, but now I love it and have watched the entire series multiple times. But I totally get it not clicking for others.

I started The Corner way back when but don’t think I was in the right space for it. Thanks for the reminder to give it another shot!
