Man I am getting a completely different takeaway from this chart than everyone else. This is a sign that electoral politics isn’t really about policy or messaging, it’s about large groups of people reacting to events. People don’t hear arguments, they see things happening and change their stances.

How do you get from “group sends memo to the Democrats” to “the Democrats think”
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

What gets me mad at myself is that I didn't even know about Colvin's actions until maybe 15 years ago, and I'm *from* Alabama. Even if you didn't want to put her to the fore at the time, what she did was important for the rights movement and absolutely should've been taught as a part of it.
You can’t blame the movement leaders for wanting an ideal test case, but by god you can blame everybody who made it so she wasn’t one.
![[3] This event took place nine months before the
NAACP secretary Rosa Parks was arrested for the same offense. [2] Colvin later said: "My mother told me to be quiet about what I did. She told me: 'Let Rosa be the one. White people aren't going to bother Rosa[,] her skin is lighter than yours and they like her.'" [21 Colvin did not receive the same attention as Parks for a number of reasons: she did not have "good hair", she was not fair-skinned, she was a teenager, and she was pregnant. The leaders in the Civil Rights Movement tried to keep up appearances and make the "most appealing" protesters the most seen. 15] |19]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreidcwygwchlh4ur6rlrwcuikoqaechsda6v6brn55oogjyuih5rsci@jpeg)

The Justice Department does not believe there is currently any basis to open a criminal civil rights investigation into the killing of a woman by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis, a top department official said Tuesday.

May her memory be a blessing. She never got the attention she deserved, because she was a pregnant teenager.
Breaking news: Claudette Colvin, a civil rights pioneer who refused to give up her seat on a segregated city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks, died at 86.

I know people are complaining about this but having a set weekly segment to cover Hegseth isn't a bad idea
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

"Jacobin" has a huge article on Jewish politics in which they claim the fact that Mamdani's career was not destroyed by allegations of antisemitism, as Jeremy Corbyn's was, is evidence politics are changing.
They do not even consider the possibility Corbyn is an antisemite and Mamdani is not.

You’re not imagining things—the plums that were in your icebox are *completely gone*. Here’s why that’s bad news:
• They were *your plums*, that you were saving for breakfast. That makes this personal for you.
• They were *sweet*, so whoever ate them *enjoyed* them. That’s unforgivable.
