For better or for worse, Black Americans' 7-12+ generations here means we've watched each ethnic group from Europe after Great Britain, France & Germany "become white." Some groups are in the crucible now...

From what we've seen, there's tons of racial anxiety *within* whiteness.

I have been asked to share my theory about Jesus and "the Pharisees." I have a very specific one.

I'm doing so. But it's gonna take three posts to do it properly, and will involve a lot of comparing Gospel passages to Rabbinic texts.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.

Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

It's growing on Bluesky, too. I swear most of the blame, accusations, and trolling, is against the Democrats, but NOT by trump-supporters. It's coming from the far left trolls and bots. Sadly, people think they're sincere. The same ones behind protesting Hillary and Kamala, but not trump

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’

Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no.

Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough.

So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.'

‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’

That's the POINT, that's why it's so chilling, they're claiming a right to kill citizen-observers in cold blood

People have virtually no inkling of how a half-century of terrible legislation dug the hole we're in.

We don't need new ideas. We need the old ones back.
While we’re waiting for Republicans to unveil their healthcare plan, remember this:

Health insurance didn’t start as a corporate cash grab. Before the ‘70s, giants like Blue Cross & Blue Shield were nonprofits. Then the 1973 HMO Act, signed by President Nixon, turbocharged for-profit healthcare
