There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

A few days after 9/11 I dropped by Frank Gehry‘s studio in Santa Monica. He was in crisis: he’d been told his Guggenheim plans resembled the field of wreckage nearby, and worried the attacks had killed the idea of a playful building.

This is a good time to revisit this incredibly racist phone conversation between Nixon and Reagan. This is what they think in private. Trump has simply lost the ability to control his impulses and blurts it out on live TV now.
Presidential racism is absolutely nothing new, but at least Nixon and Reagan knew they had to keep it behind closed doors.🤐

“Ronald Reagan’s Long-Hidden Racist Conversation With Richard Nixon” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
![Even though Reagan had called Nixon to press him to withdraw from the United Nations, in Nixon's telling, Reagan's complaints about Africans became the primary purpose of the call.
"As you can imagine," Nixon confided in Rogers, "there's strong feeling that we just shouldn't, as [Reagan] said, he saw these, as he said, he saw these " Nixon stammered, choosing his words carefully
-"these, uh, these cannibals on television last night, and he says, Christ, they weren't even wearing shoes, and here the United States is going to submit its fate to that, and so forth and so on."
The president wanted his patrician secretary of state to understand that Reagan spoke for racist Americans, and they needed to be listened to.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ekts44pfepbmryv2h633onqu/bafkreibtqi4wpzio6n3vgzg6vvrsuxek5yemhshuspomippj7t2b7oeafi@jpeg)
