ah, our NIMBYs (in the richest, most exclusionary neighborhoods) are mobilizing
i like how one of the complaints amounts to “the consultants did not come to us personally and get our approval”
my sense is that the neighborhood association likely responsible for these is acting without actually consulting the neighborhood. incidentally, one of the board members helped kill an apartment complex that would have been down the road from his multi-million dollar house.

yep, in actual practice, anything that goes beyond that one sentence in MLK’s march on washington speech will be labeled “critical race theory.” take some students to monticello to have them learn about sally hemings and the enslaved community there? “critical race theory.”
have students read WPA slave narratives and write an essay about them? “critical race theory”

i cannot agree with this enough (from “african american political thought: a collected history”) Image
i’d say a related phenomenon is the extent to which african american political thinking is reduced to simply “race” or “race relations”
thinking back to last year when i wrote “the slaves freed the slaves” in a column and a group of people on here lost their minds Image

watching HIGH ON THE HOG and learning about this restaurant “hatchet hall” in LA that serves the food of hercules caesar and james hemings and i want to buy a plane ticket and head over there immediately
ah shoutout to @UndeNIYAble!!!
it is very interesting to think about how enslaved chefs trained in french techniques shaped and influenced cuisine throughout the south and by way of their descendants, the country and the world

the folk civics around the filibuster is very similar to the folk civics around the electoral college in that both are very clearly after the fact justifications for rules that make no sense and have no logical basis nymag.com/intelligencer/…
“the filibuster was created to promote bipartisanship” is as fantastical as “the electoral college was made to protect rural voters”
i actually do blame (anti-new deal partisan) frank capra for 75 percent of filibuster mythology

being a do-nothing senator is a great gig. you have good pay, great benefits, a big staff that will tend to your needs, a platform for whatever you want to say, and you can travel a bunch too. after six years, you can parlay your experience into a 7-figure paycheck doing nothing.
the thing is, filibuster shenanigans aside, all the reporting i’ve read depicts her as someone with active contempt for liberal interest groups and constituents. if she wants to get reelected, that’s a weird way to go about it.
