Last month it was the Young Republicans praising Hitler. Last week it was Fuentes & Carlson criticizing "Jewry". This week, they're saying swastikas and nooses aren't hate speech. The rot is party-wide. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This story…pulls at all my heartstrings. The utterly shameful white supremacy and lack of justice, the beautiful humanity and resilience, and ultimately of art as such a powerful healer.

The Great Lakes holds some 20% of the planet’s surface freshwater, a gift from departing glaciers as they retreated and melted thousands of years ago.

Thrilled to see this story on @eji.org. I helped research this case for the book Radio Free Dixie by Tim Tyson. Patrick Jones, historian at U of NE did a master's thesis on this case: “‘Communist Front Shouts ‘Kissing Case’ To the World’". See JAH article/citations history.msu.edu/files/2010/0...

No attempt to preserve anything? This is shocking.
Can someone who knows about these things explain why they are spraying water on the bit being demolished?

Happy 112th Birthday, Mrs. Rosa Parks. Here's an article about what an amazing warrior for human dignity, justice and equality she was. May her memory be not just a blessing, but a lesson in how to press forward in a unjust, unequal, and dangerous world. werehistory.org/rosa-parks/
More Than A Seat On The Bus
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a protest against racial and sexual violence, one deeply rooted in the specific defense of black women.

My mother, the first horror fan I knew, wore dark glasses after being teargassed during a march in 1960.
