The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction.
I recently sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to reflect on this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. Check out our conversation: https://t.co/yaGFO4MxGI
Katie Phang on the significance of France opening an Epstein-connected investigation: "If there is a victim of Ghislaine Maxwell who can come and make a presentation of a complaint to French authorities ... Maxwell, as a French national, can be extradited from the US to France to face charges. If there is anyone who continues to benefit from the protection of the Trump DOJ ... it's Ghislaine Maxwell."
Emmitt Till was only 14 when he was kidnapped and murdered. His mother insisted on an open casket so the world could see what racism had done to her son.
An educated public is harder to control. That’s why Republicans are attacking public education, dismantling the Dept. of Education, and abandoning the young people our future depends on.
Dismantling education isn’t a byproduct of authoritarianism. It’s a prerequisite for it.
Pharmaceutical companies, like AbbVie and AstraZeneca, abuse the U.S. patent system to monopolize the drug market and prevent patients from accessing affordable drugs.
We must develop more stringent standards that reward real innovation and crack down on corporate profiteering.
Rep. Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone, his announcement of testosterone therapy for troops, and his attacks on women in combat:
"I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic, and not just homophobic, but like hate-mongering, fear-mongering about the LGBTQ community.
So, let me be clear. I don't think the homoeroticism is the weird part. The weird part is that they pretend that that's not what it's about.
And so, Pete Hegseth is like the example of this, like the manly, manly, rugged, macho man, and it's like, I don't know if you know who Tom of Finland is...this is a gay male porn that was drawn by a man. And, like, Pete Hegseth is the embodiment of that.
So I feel like they must be looking at that as their example for what men look like. And in terms of not promoting women, we know what this is all about.
The military, whether you support the military-industrial complex or not, it has always been merit-based. The people who are the best of the best rise to the top.
And so the fact that he has systematically been keeping down women and people of color gives up the whole game. It's actually not about a merit-based system anymore."
