The historical cognate for what is happening in the United States right now is the period known as the Redemption. And the restoration of Confederate iconography, just like when they were originally installed, is to signal to the nation the return of white power.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. The beginning of true democracy in America. A offering to this country paid for by the work, dedication and lives of ordinary Black people.

Weโ€™ve always had to fight. Are you prepared to fight to protect our rights?

Yeah, same. I generally hold it all together (maybe not the healthiest option) no matter what, but the darndest things will make me tear up. Given the state of things, I guess my emotions are like "we've gotta come out some kinda way ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ" lol.

I don't think I've ever hated a human being as much as him. Though the GOP rubber-stamping his every whim is a close second.

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that Iโ€™ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if youโ€™re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and itโ€™s just this drive that has always been there. Itโ€™ll always be there. And I think itโ€™s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time toโ€ฆwhat, email? I donโ€™t know what they think Iโ€™m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, itโ€™s just pointless. I think thereโ€™s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they donโ€™t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

Holding It Together by Jessica Calarco: 9780593538128 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books Other countries have social safety nets. The U.S. has women. Holding It Together chronicles the causes and dire consequences. America runs on womenโ€”womenย who are tasked with holding society...

One of the moms I interviewed for Holding It Together is a school bus driver. She's her family's primary earner (<$25K/yr), and she doesn't have access to paid leave, so she had to go back to driving while still bleeding after childbirth.
