As a Dartmouth alum, I have two very strong memories of Rev. Jesse Jackson:
1. 1988 primary speech at the Afro-Am Society. The greatest speech I ever attended live with a small audience (Obama 2008 convention is the large audience).
2. Green Eggs & Ham on SNL.

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.
When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

A thing that annoys me about the Axios newsletter is that the tone is consistently “I am one of the top experts on this thing I learned about five minutes ago.” Also that they have 280 sources in the White House but their only source on the left is Rep. Capitulate Middle (D).

I grew up in New England, my grandparents lived in Maine, I was a camp counselor in Maine… Maine, we gotta have words over Susan Collins, I’m sorry
A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.
Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

There are very few things I believe more strongly than this:

Heh. Who'd a thunk that Los Angeles people who like bagels aren't right wing know-nothing idiots?
The absurd hyperlocal drama I am in invested in: an LA bagel truck chain called (help) Yeastie Boys did a collaboration with the New York Post’s new California branch. Painted trucks red, handed out mock papers. You’re never gonna believe this but bagel truck patrons aren’t Murdoch fans, turns out

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

It's important that those working against "moderate Republicans" in swing districts, like NY-17 (Mike Lawler) get their representatives on record about this appointment and others. Lawler would deny he's a white supremacist, but he'd also try to avoid criticizing any of Trump's appointees.

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”
