Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

My friend, Meghan Ward, the incredible Banff writer, sent me a photo with post-it tabs through every one of my chapters. Beautiful to feel the impact of my work upon hers, as she sets out to write her own hybrid memoir influenced by ancestral acts known and unknown. @kentuckypress #reckoner

Rene Denfeld is a brilliant writer, and I'm intrigued as to how she perceives my re-examination of the 1936 case of Rainey Bethea, and the ways these events added up to a legal lynching. Portland, I hope you'll join us at Broadway Books for a timely conversation on due process and social justice.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder album, circles of orange that appear like the radiant sun with and image of Stevie in pale yellow at the center.
What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
(Decades later, Stevie Wonder was also the most wondrous concert I've ever attended.)
I never realized there'd be so much talk of politeness and protocol when the authoritarians ruled America. But of course, the streets of Berlin were nice and tidy during the rise of the Nazis.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Americans are out here being tased, shot with rubber bullets, and gulping tear gas to stand up for the rights of marginalized folks, but sure, fold to Trump if you don't have the guts to fight.

New in PN: Trump couldn't (legitimately) win a third term If he tried
"What’s astonishing about the media’s 'third term' coverage is how it doesn’t clearly state the obvious: Voters are openly rejecting Trump, as seen in poll after poll."

I wrote about how Border Patrol taking the lead in immigration operations mirrors a shift that happens often in concentration-camp regimes, including Nazi Germany, and some ways we can respond.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.
The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.
The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
