A 2015 illo for @slate about the book “These United States: An Nation in the Making, 1890 to the Present” which highlights our country’s problem in dealing with foundational issues that become cyclical patterns. I only read the synopsis I was given - but I can’t stop thinking about it listening to the Jackson hearings and that I need to pick it up. She’s performing a valuable history and civics lesson thus far, sometimes in answering some of the stupidest questions fathomable. It gives me hope for the republic that there’s a way through this dangerously stupid part of our national cycle. #ketanjibrownjackson https://www.instagram.com/p/CbdBnVZLYPO/?utm_medium=tumblr

As often happens, Fox News dispenses a distilled, unsubtle version of a broader narrative that Republicans understand and reinforce. It says that White people, and especially White men, are the true oppressed minority in the United States today, unable to get ahead despite their obvious “merit” and constantly leapfrogged by undeserving Blacks and other minorities. If you are a Fox News viewer or consumer of other conservative media, you hear some version of this story day after day.

An ugly racist attack on Ketanji Brown Jackson makes its inevitable return

Tell me you’re thrilled to call for a history-making vote without telling me… #ketanjibrownjackson #scotus #thevote https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDyRJQJnSQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Justice Jackson faces a dynamic familiar to Black Americans across this country. She enters an institution that empowers a right-wing minority to rule as if it were a political majority. She is called to vote on matters that, thanks to Republican chicanery, have been rigged against her and the majority of Americans. She is unfairly expected to transform a broken institution without the support—or the power—required for the task. And while her colleagues condemn Black people to unspeakable legal violence at a vast scale, she will be limited to issuing powerful dissents that emanate from her intimate knowledge of the real stakes of injustice. Unless and until Justice Jackson and her liberal colleagues get some help, the Court’s assault on democracy and fundamental freedoms will only get worse.
