This portrait from around 1922 depicts Rosa and Moses Demps with their children in front of their home in St. Augustine. Black families lived in St. Augustine since before the English arrived in Jamestown - parish registers recorded the birth of a Black child in St. Augustine in 1606.
I would stand and invite my fellow passengers to loudly sing Jingle Bells (and other widely known carols) until she shut the fuck up
Hemant MehtaEvangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

As I've said many times, the revocation of TPS for Haitians is horrific on its face, but it's *also* going to have a devastating cascade of effects because Haitian workers are the backbone of health and human services supports for elderly and disabled folks, especially here in Massachusetts.

I'm less optimistic about the future of electoralism because the longer-standing incumbents haven't internalized the need for deep reform, but the collective work he and other Dems pulled off in WI is among the best counter-examples I can think of for turning it around.

Ben Wikler's new book is very good. Even if you already know this stuff, hearing how someone with immense communications and organizing skills explains it to an informed audience is grounding. www.thriftbooks.com/w/this-is-th...

If they gave an Olympic Gold in sycophancy, this would take it. At a funeral, moreover. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron RuparHannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

As one of the two people on Bluesky who look at these polls professionally I remain vindicated in my assertion that Black voters are more Israel-skeptical than whites, contra the media narrative

Prem Thakker ツNEW — Jamie Raskin, top Democrat on House Judiciary, joins rising calls: “These are profoundly disturbing allegations from Congressman Miller’s ex-wife and another knowledgeable woman speaking from personal experience. If proven true, he should resign immediately from Congress or be expelled."

this is a useful mechanical breakdown of what will probably happen in november when trump tries to steal his second election. it’s all right there in plain sight
