No book, song, or museum collection can adequately portray how bad slavery was. But brave works can open a light on our past that is hard to put out.
If you are angry about the Smithsonian whitewash, we recommend watching (or reading!) The Underground Railroad.

I moved to DC in 1986, when there were still visible sign of the 1968 riots, and I live a few miles outside of town now. I can honestly say I have never been more frightened than I am now. The crimes committed at the WH take away more than property. They threaten democracy.

"Why did the Republican party and conservatism fall to authoritarianism while the Democratic party and liberalism have (so far) resisted it? The answer is idiosyncratic and contingent." A long rumination on how we got here and what it says about us:

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.

Today in history, 1945: George Orwell’s novella “Animal Farm” is first published. The story is a satire of Stalinist Russia involving a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who try to create a utopian society but wind up with a dictatorship. /1

They’re not just redrawing districts. They’re rigging democracy.
Texas proposed a map that could wipe out 5 Democratic seats— and they’re not stopping there. Gerrymandering is the biggest threat to our democracy. And, if we don’t fight back now, we forfeit fair elections. @katiephang.bsky.social

It is time that Democrats not only match what Republicans are doing with gerrymandering, but exceed it. Every Democratic controlled state needs to be looking to redrawing their maps -- not to gain 5 seats like in TX, but cumulatively 15, 20 or 30 seats. We must use every tool available.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
