In a pickle: US pickle company pulls out of DC fair over Confederate flag | Washington DC | The Guardian
Mt Olive Pickle Company says it was unaware image of flag was included in exhibit, and cites value of ‘human dignity’ — Read on www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/04/dc-state-fair-pickle-company-withdrawal
Unlike their forebears, who marched in DC exactly 100 years ago, these chickenshits today are afraid to show their faces.
Amazing photo by Cheney Orr from today. Black woman sitting alone on the DC Metro with a crowd of masked white supremacists on their way to the capital to march with confederate flags.
There is also a deeper analogy for what I keep hearing over and over from Black people: finding themselves surrounded by white people who either do not know, or do not care, about how America looks from the Black person's perspective.
From Rep. Jamie Raskin:
Happy 4th to President Trump, who can effectively pursue his new anti-Communist campaign by not sending any more love letters to Kim Jong Un, the “top of the line” Communist dictator of North Korea with whom he has “great chemistry”; not lavishing praise on President Xi, the “top of the line, brilliant” Communist dictator of China;

Haha! Don't forget we engineered all those storms on Trump's birthday too! And there were massive hailstones before Trump's speech at Mt. Rushmore last night. The weather is Antifa.

“All of the signatories are closely connected to the Atlas Network, a well-documented, US dark money coalition made up of billionaires pursuing a libertarian agenda while evading transparency.
The Atlas Network claims to fight for “the rights to economic and personal freedom.”
They also seek opportunities for their members to profit.

In 2026, they're going to try every trick to undermine free and fair elections — attacking mail-in voting, targeting registration programs, blocking vote counts. Indivisible's Hands Off Our Vote is a national election protection program in all 50 states to make sure every eligible voter can cast a ballot and have it counted.

This JA narrative ends, it is said, with a suitable reward: On August 10, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed H.R. 442 (note the number), a bill apologizing for the unconstitutional treatment of JAs and providing checks in the amount of $20,000 to each of over 60,000 individuals still alive on that date.
But the story is not over—far from it. After Reagan’s apology, a sea of historic markers, exhibitions, art collections, websites, documentaries, articles...appeared.
The Guardian view on xenophobic violence in South Africa: anti-migrant politics can’t fix domestic problems
Foreigners are not to blame for unemployment, crime and the state of public services. Leaders should have the courage to say so more clearly
Just over 30 years ago, Nelson Mandela expressed his sadness and anger at the rising hatred of foreigners in South Africa. “We had a legacy of unity and solidarity here,” the president told an African National Congress rally. “We are not victims to the influx of foreign people.”
Since then, xenophobic violence has periodically erupted. In 2008, anti-migrant attacks killed at least 62 people. Now a new wave is sweeping the country. Thousands marched in the streets on Tuesday – the arbitrary “deadline” that campaign groups had set for migrants to leave the country. More than 25,000 people did so in the run-up, with some countries evacuating their nationals and individuals fleeing in fear.
