41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Buckley, replying in the same issue, dug in more deeply, predicting chaos "which would issue upon the predominance of Southern Negroes in their present stage of development." Besides, as far as white Southerners were concerned, both the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendments weren't really part of the Constitution.  They were "inorganic accretions" to the original document, grafted upon it by victors-at-war by force."

In his excellent biography of William F. Buckley Jr., Sam Tanenhaus notes that "as far as white Southerners were concerned, both the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendments weren't really part of the Constitution." In 1957, Buckley called them "inorganic accretions" (p. 380).

Thank you to @meidastouch.com for bringing me on to talk about the pivotal special election here in Georgia to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene. Northwest Georgia deserves leaders grounded in truth and public service, and that’s exactly what this campaign is about.

And anyone yelling about expanding the court now when they could have just voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 is an immediate unfollow.

Minnesota Just Became The Latest State to Eliminate Prison Gerrymandering A new law will end the practice of counting incarcerated people where prisons are located, which skews political power within the state.

Minnesota last year eliminated prison gerrymandering. A law, signed by Governor Tim Walz, will end the practice of counting incarcerated people where prisons are located, which skews political power within the state.

There's a city council member in Albuquerque who was elected as a Dem but typically votes with the conservative/GOP faction. But she is retiring this fall.

The election to replace her is on Tuesday; the result could (if they win) tip control of the council to liberals.
