  7. Used to regret never having visited Europe but no problem: the US has turned into 1930s Germany!

    Also never have used a time machine but no problem: the US has actually never left the antebellum South!

  12. @volkris

    I didn't say "having a High Court is moot". I said if the outcome was predictable, it WOULD BE moot/pointless.

    But I understand what you are saying. You'd still need that "rubber stamp" of confirmation.

    ...but in the end, that's all it would be: a rubber stamp.

    Rubber stamps are not conducive to a democracy. That's how we got #JimCrow in the early 1900's (and how we are seeing #JimCrow2.0 under T****.)

  17. Yesterday, @CrayfishMag Issue Number 3 went live! This issue includes my bit of memoir, "Golgotha:" crayfishmag.com/david-milley-g

    This story, another about my experiences as a kid in Orangeburg in the early 1960s, was painful to write, but I'm glad I stuck with it. In those days, I lived in the shadow of tumultuous events from which my parents, fully involved, tried to shield me.

  22. On this day in 1892, Homer Plessy, a free-born "octoroon" (one-eighth black), agreed to be arrested for riding in the whites only car, New Orleans to Covington LA.
    It would lead to one of the worst #SupremeCourt decisions in history, Plessy v. Ferguson 1896, which legitimized "separate but equal" & ushered in the #JimCrow era.
    Of course, the #RobertsCourt recently said "hold my beer" w the Callais decision...

  27.

  32. The suggestion that partisan #gerrymandering has nothing to do with race is fantastical. It ignores the defining role of #race & #racism in shaping partisan affiliation in the #US. For instance, the embrace of the #CivilRights movement by the national #DemocraticParty is, acc/to many historians, the main reason so many white Southerners became #Republicans in the second part of the 20th century, a phenomenon known as realignment.

  37. #Black Americans have carried extraordinary burdens in the #UnitedStates, not only to exercise their own rights but also to make the country a #democracy. The #VotingRightsAct, passed in 1965 & strengthened in the decades that followed, had protected them from #RacialGerrymandering that divided them across multiple districts to blunt the impact of their votes. This was just one of a multitude of tactics Southern officials used to limit Black #suffrage & stifle competition during #JimCrow.
