A good summation of David Brooks and "civility" politics generally: no one on the right-wing can ever be described honestly, while everyone who isn't on the right-wing is always portrayed as a radical breaking cherished norms.

Bodies were left hanging from trees, with bulging eyes. Some victims were tortured, mutilated, and burned while crowds watched. This is the horror behind Billie Holiday’s 1939 song Strange Fruit. They were spectacles of racial terror, and some white Americans treated them as entertainment.

Speaking of live-streaming executions… There were white people in America, particularly from the 1880s through the 1930s, who enjoyed watching Black people being lynched. They brought their families, took photos & collected pieces of the victims’ clothing as souvenirs. [1935 — Fort Lauderdale]

This is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

Thanks, everyone! 😎

So far, in four days, I’ve made more $ for my debut Substack essay than I did for any of my WaPo essays, and WaPo paid freelancers a competitive rate.

And I just got asked to guest host a guest pod.

Good week personally🎉

Wish it were good for everyone.

Oh, good lord...the mind reels. And I know it's easy to make this comparison but it'll always remain true: If Obama had done ANY of this, the nation would've ground to a halt.

These stories are just different points on the same wavelength

“Black women report higher levels of psychological stress than White women and carry a disproportionate burden of chronic conditions associated with psychological stress,” the authors wrote in the journal Women’s Health Reports
