Reading about the Harriet Tubman's and John Brown's of the world is as close as I've come to a spiritual experience. Just a complete depth of devotion to a justice they would never live to experience. Impossible to truly embrace without being overcome by emotion.
Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

Let’s Make MAGA un-American, finally.
I wrote about the conflict over national identity, the need to reclaim patriotism from the Right, and the struggle between two traditions that are both authentically American:
White male supremacy vs. the egalitarian promise of democratic pluralism.

What is “Un-American”?
We must acknowledge America’s history of state authoritarianism and racial violence – but also dare to claim its aspirational tradition. Make MAGA un-American, finally.

fuck ice, fuck collagen-lipped nazis, come put me in a camp you dim toddlers
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

I saw this on Reddit this morning. A map of passport ownership. Looks pretty familiar, (minus Utah and its missionaries.)

I will never forgive the millions of idiots that subjected us to another four years of this dumb bullshit
*I* liked shit like this not happening and not having to wonder what combination of incompetent/stupid/evil caused it, but millions of my fellow Americans disagreed.

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.

Beefing with a five year-old should be an impeachable offense for the stain to the national honor alone. It's frankly pathetic.
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.
