James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

Frances Belser helped to hand-write flyers announcing the Montgomery bus boycott and delivered them across the city with her friends and co-conspirators. She was the secretary of Holt Street Baptist Church and mentored young women at the HBCU Alabama St.

White people have been sitting by for decades watching them shoot, kill and lock us up at disproportionate rates for longer sentences for the same crimes for decades but now it’s well it’s cause you keep saying that this is normal that people are not doing anything. Please get the fuck out my face.

1. Trump and MAGA own the judiciary
2. Trump and MAGA don’t obey court orders anyway

Gotta come up with something else, @adamkinzinger.substack.com.

Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com · 4d

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Miller claims judges are committing ‘legal insurrection’ and a charge that frames them as aiding “terrorists.” When White House Deputy Chief of Staff attacks the judiciary this way, we don’t need to spell out how dire our circumstances have become.

Watching the fall of democracy in real time is horrifying but fascinating.
That it happened so quickly with no pushback is also horrifying but fascinating.
A nation born of slavery, might makes right, and misplaced patriotism and jingoism, is doomed to fail.

Truwp won Tennessee by 20.3% ... 64.2% v. 34.5% of the votes.

It looks like they voted for this. Why aren't they happy??

Jack Daniel’s cuts off free cattle feed to Tennessee farmers after 45 years — and it could ‘absolutely destroy’ small local town. Who’s at fault?

It’s a blow for farmers already battling rising costs and unpredictable weather.
