OPINION: "Asking those questions is not a conspiracy. It is memory, and there is a difference. Black distrust of institutions did not appear overnight. It grew over generations in a state where racial violence was sometimes ignored," Duvalier Malone writes.

"These attacks on media and these attacks on universities are themselves ideological and partisan attacks," says @shannimcg.bsky.social. Great conversation on the problem with writers/academics trying to be seen as "neutral" and fixating on "polarization." newrepublic.com/article/2153...

Lincoln County brought the energy we needed. Brent Taylor & his MAGA buddies don’t think this is possible. Folks from so many backgrounds gathered to support fighting back against billionaires, raising the minimum wage, & stopping toxic AI data centers. Votejustinj.com
