I hope John Roberts has a sleepless night tonight.

The Civil Rights Act of 1965 used to have a "preclearance" requirement that forced historically racist jurisdictions to obtain DOJ approval before changing their voting laws (like Georgia just did).
1/
SCOTUS struck that down in Shelby County v. Holder (2013). Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority that the problem of state voting discrimination had largely disappeared:

"Nearly 50 years later, things have changed dramatically...

2/
"In the covered jurisdictions, '[v]oter turnout and registration rates now approach parity. Blatantly discriminatory evasions of federal decrees are rare. And minority candidates hold office at unprecedented levels.'...

IN DEFENSE OF JOE MANCHIN: an obnoxiously lengthy historopragmatic thread. (Also, goodbye my mentions.)

1/whotheheckknows
There are many words we could use to describe Joe Manchin, who’s one of the senators (though, importantly, not the ONLY senator) holding up filibuster reform:

Aggravating. Obstructive. Antediluvian.

But only one adjective matters: Democrat.
Joe Manchin is a Democrat from West Virginia.

That’s fucking remarkable.

Let's talk about how fucking remarkable that is, the historical and demographic reasons why it's remarkable, and why (even when he pisses us) off we attack him at our peril.

I have a rule: never become incensed based on a report that doesn't include a link.

So I researched this law.

NOW I'm incensed.
1/
A few points about this pro-bigotry bill in Arkansas:
• The bill, which the governor will sign, doesn't apply to emergency procedures, because federal law won't allow that...
2/
But it does allow discrimination (including by religious orgs, ie, religious hospitals?) in non-emergency procedures for any reason except race.

• To their credit, huge Arkansas employers/campaign contributors @Walmart and @TysonFoods both opposed the bill.

Sheriff: "denied saying his wife is Black. (She is Pacific Islander.) He added that in his neighborhood, “I am the only white man within five houses, and I have a Black grandson that lives with me.”
1/
Claimed he "blocked [the Black citizen] in, he’s here right now," then that "the other driver had him blocked in."

Called the Black citizen's car “homeless-looking.”

Said the car had gone up his driveway, but later said there was no room in the driveway.
2/
Dear Fellow White People: just because you don't think you're racist doesn't mean you're not actually racist.

Even having Black family members whom you love doesn't mean you're not actually racist.

In truth, DENYING you're racist is a sign you're probably, you know, racist.

No one: "what's the best meatball recipe?"

Me: jessicagavin.com/grandmas-itali…
P.S.: My trick is to cuisinart (separately) the onion (more than the recipe calls for), the garlic, the parmesan, and even the bread crumbs if they're not tiny. The onion juice and eggs make it super moist, and smaller particles of everything help the meatballs hold together.
Oh! Also, I replace half the beef with ground turkey. Recipe's so moist, it still comes out wonderful (and I figure the lower cholesterol will allow me time to eat one more serving than I would otherwise.)

The Eastern Oregon ranching family whose criminality ultimately led to the Malheur Refuge occupation may lose their right to graze cattle on federal land adjacent to their ranch. Losing federal grazing rights can destroy a working ranch. In this case, that's good.

A THREAD:
2/ Here's a little (ok, actually long) history lesson about cattle ranching in the American West. When the first ranches outside Texas were formed in the mid 1800s, many ranchers' personal holdings were relatively small.
Instead, most ranchers supplemented their own lands by using federally- owned (but federally- neglected) commons: all the ranchers in an area would graze their cattle, often mixed together, on open range where buffalo used to roam.
