If our ancestors saw all the luxuries we have and how little we work for it and yet how much we whine about it, they would never stop slapping us.

Justice Clarence Thomas: “The Declaration is, in fact, along with the Gospels, one of the greatest antislavery documents in the history of Western civilization . . . The ideas of the Declaration were so powerful that our nation could not coexist with the contradiction created by the great evil of slavery. Those principles were so powerful that hundreds of thousands of Americans fought and died in the Civil War to make men free. Those ideas have been so powerful that they convinced our nation to finally end segregation.” This is from the monumental speech Justice Thomas delivered last month celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence at @UTAustin. Read and watch this speech. civitasoutlook.com/research/justi…

Yikes, Pulitzer Prize winning book is chock full of easily verified letters. Shortly on the heels of the Pulitzer winning photograph being (apparently) based on a lie. Interested to see if the rule of 3s comes for Pulitzer with Nicholas Kristof's recent piece

Did nobody fact-check Jill Lepore's book?

The American stock market isn't only larger than the European ones. Its extraordinary wealth is more widely shared with households. And it would be even more widely shared if the U.S. had adopted George W. Bush's private accounts for Social Security two decades ago.

In 2022, I ran for Congress in a majority-white district. In a crowded Republican primary, I was the only black candidate, and I won outright without a runoff. Why? Because Americans are capable of choosing the BEST candidate regardless of race. As evidenced by your post, just like much of your party, you seem to believe black Americans are politically monolithic. We’re NOT. Not every person of color shares your worldview, your policies, or your values. The recidivism we should actually be avoiding is sliding backward into a system where Americans are once again divided and categorized by race. That is EXACTLY what racial gerrymandering represents: Segregating people politically based on skin color while pretending it is moral progress. It’s bigotry cloaked in false moral outrage, and the American people can see it plainly.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress. The stakes could not be higher. Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground. We must stand for Black representation across the South.

He's driving across Ames. Have all 18 stoplights on North Grand and South Duff turn red right in front of him without anyone waiting at any of the intersections

The state of Virginia is asking for the wrong type of relief
Ed Whelan@EdWhelanEPPC

A further very important point by @alangura: Even if the Supreme Court were to grant Virginia's emergency application for a stay (it won't), that would still leave in place the lower-court injunction that the state supreme court affirmed. So Virginia isn't even asking for the right relief--i.e., vacatur of the injunction.
