"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." We misattributed this quote to Lee Atwater. It was in fact Lyndon B. Johnson. Don't feel bad for Atwater; he was no peach either. Here's audio of him spelling out how Republicans should signal that they support racist policies without actually saying racist things. TW for some seriously fucking brutal racial terms.


Fauci could have handled the AIDS crisis better. This Frontline tells you all about it. The Justins in Tennessee. (the link is a gift article; enjoy!) The GOP won't change their policies to get more voters. They'll just get rid of democracy. Protest works. There were sustained protests in East Germany before the wall fell like the Leipzig prayer protests every Monday. ACT UP used unapologetically confrontational die-ins to force progress on AIDS funding, research, and treatments. Conservatives don't want their kids learning about Ruby Bridges or Rosa Parks. RIP Congressman John Lewis and let's all make good trouble.

Buy Faith's book! It's the mid 1990s, and a high school guy in Georgia is grappling with his queerness, his faith, his friends, and his future in Disgusta by Faith DaBrooke.
