Paxton’s Democratic opponent in Texas, for example, offers a stark contrast, as well as an opportunity to test the level of our societal decline in November. Texas Democrats could easily have nominated their own chaos agent in Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a progressive firebrand whose flair for viral combat suggests she understands the incentives of modern politics perfectly well.

Seriesoftubes says: "Huge respect for McMillan Cottom and many of these are wonderful. But why no Cyberlibertarianism (Dave Golumbia, who had Silicon Valley’s number earlier than almost anyone)?

Democrats have long faced accusations that they take Black voters for granted. Several Texas strategists are worried that’ll happen again in the lead up to November — and that the party will blame Black voters if Talarico loses.
Post from Ebony Elizabeth Thomas: Numbers three through five, along with our best K12 schools (they do exist), and our HBCUs, are emerging as a silent killer: --The FBA/ADOS movements are complete nonsense and dangerous. We have always had Black immigrants who were both/and - fully their own ethnicity and nationality AND Black.
The chief justice was eager to assert his institution’s authority and to rein in Mr. Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency, which he believed had sidestepped a recent ruling. The two men, both cerebral, polished Harvard Law graduates, had long posed a puzzle: How could such smooth personalities create so much friction?
He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans -- a trend perpetrated, he argued, by “intellectuals” and the nation’s colleges and universities.

“These are the best and brightest students who are going to be great allies of the U.S. if they were to spend time there,” said Rebecca Zeigler Mano, an American who promoted American universities for the U.S. Embassy in Harare, Zimbabwe. Mano advised one Zimbabwean who went on to attend Duke, Yale and Harvard universities and is now an oncologist specializing in lung cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Another earned his Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis, and helped develop the Covid-19 vaccine at Pfizer. “This is the kind of talent we’re shutting out,” Mano said.
“It just struck me that I would want to do something a little more egoless,” said Jack Harlow in a Times interview, later adding, “As I’m getting older, I’m having more trouble reconciling being braggadocious on record.” On to neo-soul, a genre that could only be seen as a vessel for humble, egoless artistry to someone who has engaged with the genre primarily through interracial couple TikTok accounts and Instagram slideshows.

I am thankful to God that some noble souls from the ranks of organized religion have broken loose from the paralyzing chains of conformity and joined us as active partners in the struggle for freedom. They have left their secure congregations and walked the streets of Albany, Georgia, with us. They have gone down the highways of the South on tortuous rides for freedom. Yes, they have gone to jail with us. Some have been dismissed from their churches, have lost the support of their bishops and fellow ministers. But they have acted in the faith that right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.
We have not made a single gain in civil rights without determined legal and nonviolent pressure. Lamentably, it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily.
You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.
You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes.
