The 1740 Act focused on three pillars of suppression:
•Literacy: Writing was banned to stop communication.
•Culture: Drums/horns were illegal (no coded messages).
•Movement: No travel without a written pass.

The goal? Prevent another uprising by ensuring total control. (cont)

Fast forward 125 years to 1865. Slavery is abolished via the 13th Amendment. But Southern legislatures immediately looked back at the 1740 logic to create the Black Codes. It was a new name, but same goal: controlling Black labor and movement. (cont)

The Black Codes were laws passed after the Civil War in the South that stripped African Americans of freedom, turning criminality into legal slavery.

This wasn't just about jobs; it was about legal standing. Like the 1740 Act, the Black Codes banned Black people from testifying against White people or serving on juries. The law was used to keep one group "above" another.

The Black Codes evolved into Jim Crow. (cont)

Why does this matter today? Because it shows how legal "logic" persists. When one system of control ended, the architecture of the 1740 Act was recycled into the Black Codes, then Jim Crow.

History isn't just back then—it's the foundation of now.

I don't want to minimize the threat against people like Walt Giardina.

But 1) It is malpractice for someone who covered the Hunter Biden case, like @glennthrush.bsky.social, to suggest this is new and 2) MANY of these releases can backfire if journalists just do their jobs.
Long after 92-year-old Sen. Chuck Grassley is dead, our country will be suffering from his collaboration with a corrupt FBI to help the dictator punish his enemies. (NYT gift link)

Funny how that works
hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

Combine this with new tariffs, potential war, the Canada/China trade deal, disruption of the Fed, threats of military deployment against civilians, and an impending government shutdown…

An epic market meltdown is pretty much guaranteed in the coming weeks.

If you own stocks, dump them.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

🧵 Most people don’t know this, but the first U.S. TV commercial to feature Black people in a non‑stereotypical way aired in 1948. Here's the true story of why it mattered.(cont)

"DOJ sources — including officials who’ve actually seen what’s inside the Epstein files — are telling me there’s real concern after today’s so-called “release.” Because documents that should have been turned over today aren’t just heavily redacted — they appear to be missing."

So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims

Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance

This is what a coverup looks like

It’s really embarrassing how much certain Democrats are trying to assist the right in enacting Project 2025’s plans to censor the internet and banish abortion access info, sex ed, LGBTQ people, and much more under the guise of “protecting the kids,” who will of course be further harmed by this

Dems are doing an exceptional job in Noem oversight hearing, using a lot of clips. @delia.bsky.social included a video FROM THIS HEARING of Noem lying.

But this picture is pretty funny.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

BREAKING: The Trump administration took $2 BILLION+ from our military to use on political stunts.

This is an insult to our troops. It won’t make our military stronger or Americans safer.
