I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

More evidence for abolishing ICE at the first opportunity.
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Jeet Heer's essay on Jeffrey Epstein's role as a foreign policy influence agent is eye-opening and an essential read. It's remarkable that given all the ink spilled over this man—most of it simple scandal-mongering—we still have such a feint understanding of his project. This clarifies a great deal.
Jeffrey Epstein Was a Warlord. We Have to Talk About It.
Mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the late sex trafficker was a power broker who shaped global policy.

Teens from juvenile diversion program MileUp will be among the thousands of athletes participating in this weekend’s races. They’re running for more than accolades.

Instead of punishing the students for the crimes they may have committed, MileUp, a juvenile diversion program, intends to teach them accountability and responsibility through running.

❤️❤️❤️ how Iowa City is reducing the cost of living, air pollution, traffic congestion, and people’s stress by making bus rides free.

Would ❤️❤️❤️ to see @wmata.com do the same here in the DMV.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

We are strong, messy, awkward, flawed, irreplaceable. All of us.

And to be sure! We can quibble about intention and what it means and no, that's not *really* a book banning but ... it is. Because of a podcast, there are teachers who are breaking the law if they encourage a student to use context clues to determine the meaning of a word.
