The Grotesque 1893 Texas Lynching That Shocked Americans

The lynching of Henry Smith, who was burned alive before a large Texas crowd in 1893, shocked many but did nothing to end the scourge of lynching.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid used to be the so called “Third Rail” in politics, meaning: touch them at your own peril. Now Rs have taken their masks (or hoods) off, and are threatening to defund or eliminate these programs because they refuse to tax the wealthy in order to pay for them.

It would be easy to dismiss the president as raving Grandpa Genocide if he didn’t command the largest military in the world. We can’t afford to get numb to his continued humanitarian threats, and neither should the media. Great discussion with @emilyhorne.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social

Folks, @hcrichardson.bsky.social spells out in today’s post how the Trump regime & MAGA are pushing Nazi ideology based blood and soil nationalism to distort US history they find uncomfortable or inconvenient to the cause of white nationalism. As a country, we need to be clear eyed about our past.

Yeah the idea that you have to be very careful and measured when talking about bigots lest you be labeled as “hysterical” etc has been a great boon in the push to renew white supremacy.

24 July 1942 | A transport of 1,000 Jews deported from #Drancy in German-occupied France arrived at #Auschwitz. Among them were 596 people born in Poland. All 615 men (nos. 51504-52118) and 385 women (nos. 10664-11049) were registered in the camp. Only 7 men survived the war.

Nicholas Grossman is one of the very few I’ve seen calling the president’s new Canada tariffs illegal. Which they are. Add it to the list of impeachable offenses.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 2w ago

Trump’s illegal tariffs on Canada exempt oil—which is about 1/4 of Canadian exports to the U.S.—along with some other things Trump’s illegal Iran war has made more expensive. So, uh, congrats to the Michigan and Ohio auto industry, voting to hurt your own livelihood for no good reason.

My essay on “Unhumans” was quoted in @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s newsletter today. One thing about fascists: they tell you what they are doing. They write it down. It’s important that we understand this, even if the mainstream press can’t/won’t acknowledge it. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump's "communist" panic isn't just senile ranting. It's a strategy. It comes straight from a book Bannon and Vance endorsed, a genocide-themed screed that calls for dehumanizing Democrats as demons who don't deserve rights. The "Unhumans" playbook, exposed: www.thenerdreich.com/why-trump-ke...

The shrill screams of man babies Stephen Miller, Trump, and JD, fueled by the crazy ass ravings of Jack Posobiec are the last cries of a doomed movement going down in flames. They think they can still bend society and history to their will — at their peril.

I like & agree with a lot of David French’s commentary, but he’s dead wrong about not expanding SCOTUS. We need to overrule the partisan Republican supermajority by appointing more justices who will counter them, & have mandatory term limits that automatically retire Alito and Thomas.

I was there, and one thing that went unexplained is what happens if/when this SCOTUS simply invalidates the future constraints that the panelists themselves are arguing must be placed on future authoritarian presidents to save the republic.
