The best summation I’ve read yet of ‘The New Jim Crow’
Ugh. We’re in for a long fight, aren’t we?

🔥 While the FBI is raiding her office today, don’t forget who Louise Lucas actually is.
She grew up in Portsmouth during Jim Crow. Attended public schools that were shut down under Massive Resistance rather than let Black children be educated alongside white ones. She didn’t just survive that — she walked through it and kept going.
She became the first woman shipfitter at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.

You can now search the Epstein data that has been released for image matches or near matches. You can search for photos that have the same face. And much more. Here is a ‘how to’ article by the PhD data scientist that wrote the software.
No paywall.

The only non-violent way to fix the U.S. Supreme Court is by electing a Congress that will. Schumer’s conservative Democrats won’t. Hence, I’m raising money to host an event for Peggy Flanagan, the progressive in Minnesota’s Dem primary for U.S. Senator.

It’s not Friday but this is very cool: the 1st bike path in the US is still in existence, from Prospect Park in Brooklyn to Coney Island. (No bikes on the boardwalk after 10am so there’s that)
Also: getting thru Manhattan on a bike seems faster and waayy more efficient than any other transit
Now that in Texas SNAP can’t be used to buy soda and sugary drinks, the 12 pack brand name soda prices dropped from $9 to $5. Energy drink prices also dropped. Candy prices and fruit snacks have all dropped too now that no one can use SNAP to buy candy. I don’t know if chips were included in that SNAP law, but those also dropped. Bags of Lays chips went from $6.46 to $2.50. Family size boxes of brand name cereal went from $7.49 to $4.44.
I’m looking at Walmart’s rollbacks list and 98% is stuff people can no longer buy with SNAP in Texas. Walmart was massively scamming Texas taxpayers with inflated prices paid for with Texas state money.
