Ron DeSantis Race Issue

In 2018, while he was running for Governor of Florida, DeSantis faced controversy over his use of the phrase “monkey this up” in reference to his Democratic opponent, Andrew Gillum, who is Black. This led to accusations of racism and criticism from civil rights groups. In 2019, DeSantis signed a...

Brittney Griner and her wife Cherelle are an American love story. Let us try a thought experiment.

a new Fed chair… maybe but probably not.

The usual handicapping for a new Fed Chair is happening, but likely it’s too early. Lael Brainard and William Spriggs would be front-runners. Jay Powell's term is up next February, when Biden can choose to extend his appointment. We’ll know so much more then, what with a looming recession. x Biden...

Bamboo, Watermelons, and Rainbows

Have you ever asked yourself, why are so many GOP political theories race and gender-based? The latest is that voter ballots in Arizona were smuggled in from China. The GOP has decided the best way to expose this absurd idea is to exploit a silly stereotype and check the ballots...

“brushing history against the grain”… what did happen to a purse made from Nat Turner's skin

A new book suggests now the necessity of reexamining the historical materialist project of Walter Benjamin recognizing those moments of historical contact as acts of recognizing the constructed historical object. “Historicism tends to be hermeneutic because it values cautious, rigorous, and contextualized interpretation of information; or relativist, because it rejects notions of universal, fundamental...

Knee on the Throat, Foot on the Gas?

Apparently the spree killer in Indianapolis was also a “Brony”, a follower of My Little Pony as reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Minerva @ Midnight: Summer augurs a continuation of bad faith and disinformation

Minnesota law enforcement, at its based level exhibits some intersectional issues often represented in fictional culture products like Fargo. Their police forces haven’t learned very much since the death of George Floyd. So many examples of bad faith below:

Garland's DOJ reverses Trump-era rule on consent decrees, which help hold local police accountable

The Trump administration—the malignant milieu of racism, bad ideas, and bad, racist ideas—had, for the past two-plus years, limited the use of consent decrees in holding police departments accountable for abusive (read: racist) behavior. Now, Attorney General Merrick Garland is reversing that Trump-era policy.

It is Long Past Time to Reimagine Policing in America

The Black Codes of the late 1800s are making a comeback in America. These ordinances were meant to control the free movement of people of color using minor infractions as the reasoning, which was a literal attempt to keep black people in their place. The beginnings of policing in America...
