It’s racism all the way down.
If there’s one thing you’d think Congress could do without controversy, it’s renaming post offices.
But this week, a House committee quietly pulled Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton’s bill to rename one in Brookland for Chuck Brown, D.C.’s godfather of go-go.
@maustermuhle.bsky.social has the story:

What does the pantone 2025 color, the cold full moon and SCOTUS have in common?
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
The Supreme Court just handed Texas Republicans at least 2 more House seats & possibly up to 5 despite the state GOP explicitly justifying their remap based on an unconstitutional use of race in redistricting.
Unsurprising from this court, and it's a bad sign for the upcoming Voting Rights Act case

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

The problem is that leadership has personal animus toward Ilhan Omar (mostly for racist/islamophobic reasons), the most visible leader of that community. So national pols won’t do or say much at all.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Stephen Miller is a completely typical fascist, and there's no point trying to reason through his unhinged belief system. It's just a ball of hate. The only thing to do with fascists is stop them.

Our tribal ID’s validity depends entirely on the person we’re presenting it to. My attempting to use it has failed many times because of the lack of knowledge people in government have about it. After this, I expect the feds to try to further delegitimize it.
