Interview with Martin Luther King, Jr., March 18, 1964
Project: Robert Penn Warren Civil Rights Oral History Project
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister in Atlanta, Georgia and Montgomery, Alabama and a civil rights activist. He was a major leader of the civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King graduated from a segregated Atlanta high school in 1948 and received his Bachelor of Art's degree from Morehouse College. King received his Bachelor's of Divinity from Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania and later completed his doctorate in 1955 from Boston University. As an executive committee member of the NAACP, he served as leader of the first great nonviolent demonstration, the bus boycott of 1955. Also in 1955, King was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). King is known for promoting nonviolent tactics to combat racism and segregation including the 1963 March on Washington. In 1964, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. In 1968 King was assassinated on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis Tennessee where he was waiting to lead a protest march for the city's striking garbage workers. In this interview, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. discusses the similarities and differences of his and his father's work as civil rights activists. Dr. King describes and defends his belief in nonviolent methods and provides his reaction to criticisms of his philosophy of nonviolence. He also describes what he considers the next phases of the civil rights movement. Dr. King discusses Dr. Clark's belief that Dr. King is "safe" for white people in the civil rights movement to follow. He also addresses the resulting resistance of some African American's in the movement towards his leadership and discusses the current state and future of the civil rights movement without a centralized leadership. Dr. King also considers Gunnar Myrdal's proposal for Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War and discusses the connection between the Reconstruction era and contemporary racism. He continues by describing the issues associated with relating to Africa and African American identity and cultural assimilation. Dr. King provides his opinion regarding bussing and school integration and briefly discusses Reverend Milton Galamison. He also explains his interpretation of the slogan "Freedom Now" and provides his views on the Black Nationalism movement. Dr. King recalls when he was physically attacked by African American men and women and proposes the reasons behind the attacks. Dr. King also briefly discusses the type of audience that he usually addresses.

JWF Fellowships to the Poynter Institute for Print, Broadcast and Online News Journalists
Poynter Experience
Reports from:Caroline Arbour | Colleen Dane | Sandy Heimlich-Hall | Aaron McArthur | Sarah Petrescu | Maxine Ruvinsky | Cheryl Rossi
Caroline Arbour
The Poynter Institute is a special place. A fellow attendee called it an oasis, where journalists are given the opportunity to recharge their batteries and rediscover why they love their craft. It was that for me and more. The week I spent there, participating in the TV Power Reporting seminar, energized and inspired me. It was comforting to be surrounded by about twenty other journalists, all concerned about raising the quality of what is put on the air and all facing the same challenges, not the least of which is having to do so much more with far fewer resources than what was available in the past.
I didn't know what I could learn in a week, but I was pleasantly surprised. Among other things, Al Tompkins taught us how to better structure our stories, our writing, how to think critically and he shared tools that can save us time when multitasking. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to improve my skills thanks to him, as well as CBS photographer Les Rose and reporter Leah Hope, of ABC Chicago. What a great experience.

Poynter's Leadership Academy was eye opening for me. I can't say enough about the quality of the sessions, instructors, and the coaching I received there.It was intense, and a lot of work. Make no mistake -- this is no holiday. The instructors are amazing people, who have worked in the profession and are now sharing their wealth of knowledge with others. I have come back to Kamloops eager to put my newfound skills into play. I now know how to be a stronger, more organized, understanding, inspirational leader.
Poynter's Jill Geisler helped me understand my personality type (INFP!), why I am the way I am, how I react to situations, and why other personality types react to be in certain ways. I now have a better appreciation for personalities on the opposite end of the spectrum (and we have them in our newsroom!) and how to work with them in more effective ways. She was also great in the one-on-one opportunities we got to take advantage of, guiding me through how to have those tough conversation with staff -- and even with other bosses. And she should know. She is a teacher and consultant now -- but earned her stripes in newsrooms, and was a TV News Director herself. Jill speaks the language. She's been there and done that.
Jill, Butch Ward, Paul Pohlman, Al Tompkins and Kenny Irby offered a wealth of knowledge on leadership issues, stronger story telling, real ways to bring more diverse stories to our viewers, stronger story telling, being a better mentor to staff, how to coach instead of fix. I also was guided through how to handle those tough discussions with staff, and even the bosses higher up the food chain! They've even offered to be available for trial run conversations in future! How great is that?
I also learned how to manage my time better. Turns out I've taken on too many duties that really have nothing to do with my current job, and are getting in the way of the important things I do everyday. I also learned new tricks of the trade from Al Tompkins -- his session "Bringing out your inner geek" and "Cool tools" was incredibly useful information. And most of his tips were low cost or free!
It was also incredibly valuable to hear from the visiting faculty, like Will Pry (Editor "The Briefing - Dallas Morning News .. and yes -- that's his real name!), and Stacia Deshishku (CNN - Director of Coverage). I got to hear what principles Will is applying to his paper, and how he is helping his publication to appeal to younger readers and stay at home moms, developing a new audience. And Stacia, who oversees 50 Assignment Editors everyday, had some great takehome tips for me on arranging my day and getting the reporters involved in generating more story ideas they can carry through on.
I also found I learned a lot from other newsies from around the world who came to Poynter for the same reasons I did -- to become better at what we do. It was liberating to learn no matter what medium we work in, or what size market, we all had the exact same problems, issues, and challenges! In the first week I already sought out the advice of one of my new friends on the pitfalls of taking a newsroom digital -- since she's already done it 3 times! Poynter provided me with an incredible list of resources which I know I will continue to draw on in future.
I also want to say something about the Jack Webster Foundation. Thank you for offering this scholarship to journalists. Small stations like ours would never be able to afford to send their newsroom staff away for such valuable upgrades on their own. Especially in times like these. This was an amazing experience, and I could not have done it without you.
Aaron McArthur
reporter, Global BC
At a time when many people believe journalism is suffering through a crisis, it is comforting to know there are those who still take the media's role seriously. Jack Webster and Nelson Poynter are two names that carry a lot of weight in the industry, and both would be proud to know their names are behind two fantastic organizations working hard to give journalists the tools they need to succeed.
A huge part of the Poynter experience is the journalists who choose to attend the seminars. Everyone goes to St. Petersburg keen to work, and ready to learn. As a group these people from wide ranging backgrounds and differing media platforms made remarkable progress in terms of technology and in storytelling. Everyone came away feeling refreshed and ready for new challenges. Pushing the students was a staff that is without question world class. Al Tompkins leads a team of professional educators who really care about the craft of Journalism. Not only did I come away recharged and ready to go back to work, I came away with a broad understanding what it takes to become a backpack journalist, and what it will take to succeed in a business which is changing so quickly.

Backpack Journalist - Poynter Institute
As the first reporter at the Times Colonist to hold a multi-media focused position, the Backpack Journalist course at the Poynter Institute benefited me greatly. While the course focused heavily on video, it did so with an emphasis on web content and tools. The diverse make-up of the class - 40 or so journalists from around the world working in every medium - provided an environment for discussion about the current state of journalism and what we are doing to survive in it. The intense hands-on nature of the program was tiring - I highly recommend arriving a day ahead and leaving the day after the program ends. But it was rewarding. The most important element for me right now was the opportunity for professional development in an economic time when many news outlets are scaling back resources. This is especially difficult for journalists like me who need training to use new technologies. Thank you to the Jack Webster Foundation for providing opportunities like these.
Maxine Ruvinsky
assistant professor/chair, School of Journalism, Thompson Rivers University
Learning the technology was fun, but what I liked best about the overall approach of the seminar was its grounding in journalistic principle, its insistence that the journalism, not the technology, is the point. The important journalistic questions remain constant, despite the rate of technological change: What is the story? Is it true? How do I know?
I applied for this fellowship and attended this seminar in the hope that by doing so I could strengthen my ability to help my students "reinvent and redeem the practice of journalism" for the 21st century. The seminar exceeded my already high expectations; it cemented my resolve to pursue new directions in journalism with my students and gave me the start I need to take advantage of the new technologies in the service of a larger goal: to help recall journalism to its own founding values, those of a free press in a democratic society.

reporter, The Vancouver Courier
I felt extremely fortunate when I won a Jack Webster Foundation fellowship to take a Poynter Institute seminar called Essential Skills for the Digital Journalist. Our training budget at work has been scrapped and the practical, boot-camp like course is exactly what overloaded techno-timid print journalists like me need. I felt even more fortunate when I learned seven or eight of the 18 participants in the seminar were out of work and some of those who are employed had paid their own way.
The instructors and my colleagues in the seminar demystified the use of graphics and running your own blog or website. They balanced gushing about social networking and digital media with practical pointers on when it actually makes sense to start a blog and tell a story with graphics, audio, audio slide shows or video.
I returned to work better informed, with issues and ideas to share and explore. I have much information to revisit, knowledgeable, helpful instructors just keystrokes away, and new far-away colleagues to keep me on track by following my personal development plan.

Puppet Masters
Former Barclays CEO reportedly exchanged 1,200 emails with Jeffrey Epstein

Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley, left, and disgraced financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, exchanged more than 1,200 emails, according to a report from the Financial Times. Staley's lawyer says the email messages were innocuous.
Jes Staley — the former CEO of Barclays who resigned last week following an investigation into his ties to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — reportedly exchanged some 1,200 emails with the perverted moneyman over a four-year period.
Some of those emails included mysterious terms such as "snow white" that have yet to be explained, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the correspondence between Staley and Epstein. Epstein killed himself in 2019.
The volume of correspondence and the unexplained references shed new light on the nature of the relationship between Staley and Epstein.
The emails, according to the Financial Times, were sent between 2008 and 2012, during which time Staley rose from head of JPMorgan Chase's asset-management unit to CEO of the investment banking division. Staley did not become CEO of Barclays until 2015.
Many of the messages in the tranche of emails were matter-of-fact, the report said.
The two discussed news articles in some and arranged to meet for drinks in others — but taken together, the messages reveal a close relationship between the two men, the FT said, citing people familiar with the contents.
UK Regulators, including the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority, have been investigating the correspondence and have highlighted certain unexplained terms that raise eyebrows, according to the report.
For example, the two reference "snow white" in a short, two-message exchange referring to a conversation the men already had in person, the FT reported, citing one of the people familiar with the matter.
The regulators haven't yet determined the significance of the phrase, a source told the FT.
Kathleen Harris, a lawyer for Staley, said in a statement to the FT that all the emails were innocuous.
"We wish to make it expressly clear that our client had no involvement in any of the alleged crimes committed by Mr. Epstein, and codewords were never used by Mr. Staley in any communications with Mr. Epstein, ever," she said.
Staley previously said he "deeply regrets" his friendship with the pedophile, whom he first met in 2000 when he took charge of JP Morgan's private banking division and when Epstein was "already a client" in New York.
The two got close enough that in 2009, Staley visited Epstein while he was serving a prison sentence in Florida for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute, according to the FT.
Staley has previously said the relationship began to taper off after he left JPMorgan in 2013.
But in 2015, just a few months before joining Barclays, Staley reportedly sailed to Epstein's private Caribbean island.
Staley also previously let Epstein mentor one of his daughters when she was applying to college, according to the FT.
Barclays New York offices, just of Times Square. CEO Jes Staley resigned at the beginning of November from the bank.
The cache of emails were first given to US regulators by JPMorgan, the FT reported, and the UK regulators began investigating Staley's relationship to Epstein after they received the cache in 2019, people familiar with the matter told the FT. JPMorgan declined to comment to the FT.
Barclays had previously claimed that the relationship between the two was strictly professional, and regulators were concerned that the cache of messages contradicted that claim, the report said.
Barclays, with the help of law firm Clifford Chance, investigated the emails for two months, according to the FT, and at one point, Staley considered resigning but was persuaded to stay.
Barclays eventually resolved to stick by Staley, saying in February 2020 that he had the board's "full confidence."
But the investigation by the FCA continued. While the findings have not yet been made public, Staley agreed to resign last week, the FT reported, after the bank learned of the investigation's conclusions and Staley's intention to contest them.
JohnSmith · 2021-11-13T14:53:23Z
James "Jes" Staley, Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton are/were members of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). One can imagine the sort of "foreign affairs" they preferred.
Barclays is also a CFR corporate sponsor, along with Citigroup, JPMorgan, Goldman, BofA, BlackRock, Blackstone, etc. Many of their execs are also CFR members.
Winternights3 · 2021-11-13T16:32:43Z
I believe enough water has gone under the bridge for the general public to see that 1+1=2.
The closet door has been left wide open for all to see the gruesome goings-on's inside.

Review SUNBOMB 'Evil and Divine'
It's not the first time that Frontiers Music initiates the collaboration of well-known musicians, mainly singer and guitarist. Sunbomb is the moniker of such an alliance, a project with L.A. Guns mainman Tracii Guns and Stryper's Michael Sweet.
The title of the first longplayer, being an outcome of this collaboration, is 'Evil and Divine'. In total eleven songs reflect the influences of both driving forces very well. Rock and metal are the framing for the tunes on this longplayer. It's not that 'Evil and Divine' brings a lot of new to the table. It is more the impression of two guys having been at work, following their heart outside the frames of the respective 'mothership'. Sometimes, these kinds of records give an impression of a 'must' more than a 'want to'. When it comes to Sunbomb, the conclusion is, that the latter has been the base for this entertaining longplayer. Nothing feels forced. Instead, it is a playful ease that accompanies each of the songs on the longplayer
The trip through these eleven tunes starts with the metallic 'Life', a vivid and dynamic opener, being an appetizer for more. A bit reminding of the Dio-days, the song gets out of the box very well and the same goes for the Sabbath-is 'Take Me Away'. Slow and dark, that's how the tune expresses its intensity.
The spirit of rock'n'roll is added to the tracklist in the most soulful way, with a ballad. 'Been Said and Done' starts the second half of the tracklist in a calm way, followed by 'Stronger Than Before', which is not the best track on the album. The track is not a real downer, but the 'Story of the Blind' is certainly a better track to listen to.
As mentioned earlier, albums like 'Evil and Divine' entail the risk of becoming a sketchbook project that doesn't speak to the heart. In this case though, I can conclude, that two musicians, that share a similar musical philosophy, started a collaboration that delivers songs, I haven't expected to be that vital and powerful. Sunbomb and 'Evil and Divine' is a positive surprise in 2021.

Q: Many to Many to Many relationship? (Sub Category Lookup) I have a many-to-many relationship linked by a table "farmer2crop", linking farmers to crop types (e.g. rice, wheat, corn, spices, etc.)
e.g.
FARMER2CROP
f2c_id
farmer_id
crop_id

However some crops require a further sub-category look-up, e.g. spices (cumin, pepper, etc.)
Partly I think that all the spice sub-types should be part of the crops table, and maybe there should be a parent category, but the customer wants the spices to be a secondary look up, and the majority of crops do not have a parent type.
So I could have a third level many-to-many table joining to farmers2crops:
FARMERS2CROPS2SPICES
f2c_id
spice_id

But this seems a little convoluted, are there any suggestions for a better design here - or is this the best trade off?
Thanks in advance.

A: Logically you should have the following tables:
FARMER (farmer_id, ...)
CROP (crop_id,farmer_id, ...)
CROPSUB (cropsub_id, crop_id ...)
With these three tables you can connect through joins everything (three dots mean other possible table fields).
I hope that this is helpful to you.

A: I would forget the farmers2crops2spices option, too complex for the need IMO.
Simple option: add a subcategory table + crop.subcategory_id column (NULLable).
However, you may end up with subsubcategory, subsubsubcategory, etc tables (+ crop.subsubcategory_id, etc.).
But I guess that what you will need for the long term is a nested set for your crop categories. I suggest to use an ORM like Propel (if you use PHP) which will abstract all the hard stuff to use such a structure efficiently.

Project funded through the Eurostars Programme.
ICE CONTROL will improve cost efficiency preventing the appearance of ice on overhead contact lines and increasing the quality of rail service.
We intend to develop an innovative solution, ICECONTROL, for keeping Railways' Overhead Contact Lines (OCL) free of ice cost-efficiently, assuring the caption of current by trains in railways placed at low temperatures. It will be delivered in form of an embedded expert system capable of automatically preventing OCL from icing and, in case this is not possible, de-icing, without interfering with the regular train's transit.
Our goal is to develop an embedded expert system for the automated assessment of the level of risk of icing in Railways' Overhead Contact Lines from atmospheric and physical conditions, and the activation of prevention ANTI-ICE actions or, in case ice occurs, DE-ICE ones. These actions will be based on the Joule or Ohmic Heating, by automatically calculating the electric current needed to cause a certain temperature gain through the contact line, without interfering with the normal transit of trains. With this innovative approach, ICECONTROL will improve cost-efficiency of ice prevention and removal from railways supply lines.
The characterization of the icing and de-icing phenomena in Railways' OCL, determining the environmental and electric parameters involved and developing mathematical models to explain their relationships and simulate their behaviour.
Coding of such models for the development of an expert software system.
The integration of such software into a power and control equipment, specifically designed to monitor the actual environmental and installation parameters; and to generate actions for temperature´s gain in contact wires.
Modules interoperability, standards and regulations.
Definition and modelling of Environmental and Installation parameters.
Definition and modelling of Functional parameters.

The Alto El Amago summit finish served to shake up the general classification at Tour de San Luis. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) launched a devastating attack on one of the many steep switchbacks that characterizes the lower slopes of the final ascent. Neo-pro Adam Yates rode his own pace up the mountain and crossed the finish line in tenth place, just over three minutes behind the Colombian climbing sensation.
With a four second advantage over Quintana after stage four, Phil Gaimon (Garmin Sharp) managed to narrowly hold onto his overall lead. Yates jumped up to 12th overall at 3'37, strengthening his hold on the best young riders jersey and assuming the team's top ranked position on the general classification. Christian Meier tumbled from third to 16th place where he now sits 4'15 behind the race leader.


Agilitas, a pan-European private equity firm, today announces that Relita, the Swedish division of Recover Nordic group, the leading Nordic provider of damage control, emergency response and environmental services, has agreed to acquire Betongborrargruppen i Mälardalen AB ('BBG'), a company specialising in specialist demolition and remediation of concrete for real estate projects in Sweden.

3 Things: GOP's Continuing Deadly Assault on America
June 6, 2022 /83 Comments/in Congress, COVID-19, Guns, Republicans /by Rayne
[NB: check the byline, thanks. /~Rayne]
The GOP hasn't stopped since January 6, 2021 and years earlier. They want to wreak maximum damage on this country and blame anybody and everybody but themselves for it.
We're supposed to believe they're the arbiters of what's right for this country but everything they do is demoralizing and destabilizing.
It's almost as if they were acting on behalf of another hostile country.
One only need to look at how the GOP have handled state and federal response to the mass shooting in Uvalde and elsewhere to see they don't care how many Americans die so long as they continue to get their blood money.
GOP memos reveal Uvalde playbook: "Stay cool. Run out the clock. …But don't worry: this moment will be over soon."
It's up to ALL OF US to keep the heat on our elected officials. Text ACT to 644-33. #wearorange #standwithuvalde https://t.co/GXpUCD0c6m

If uncontrolled guns were the only damage they inflicted on this country, but no – the Grand Old Party of Death goes wide.
The pandemic isn't over. It's not ending because far too many right-wing Americans have been brainwashed by the right-wing ecosphere into believing vaccines, boosters, masks, and social distancing are evil.
The logic fails over and over; it doesn't help when The New York Times continues to run crap by David Leonhardt which undermines encouraging mask wearing up to and including mandates.
It also doesn't help when corporations are too damned greedy to the point of short-sightedness, screwing both their own business and Americans at the same time.
What a mess—7000 flights cancelled this past weekend, hundreds more cancelled this summer. @Delta admits all the #COVID19 cases is wreaking havoc on flights.

But it's not just the continued onslaught of disinformation and misinformation which is hurting this country. It's the GOP refusing to keep Americans safe; they've refused to provide funds necessary for vaccines, boosters, therapies, and development of new boosters designed for the current dominant Omicron variants.
15-MAR-2022 — White House begs Congress for Covid funding amid concern about Omicron sister variant
30-MAR-2022 — Biden presses Congress for new COVID funding, gets second booster shot
But Senate Republicans have balked at setting aside additional money, saying they want a full accounting of earlier spending, and House Democrats subsequently rejected a plan to repurpose money already pledged to states.
While federal regulators on Tuesday authorized a fourth shot of vaccine for Americans 50 and older, U.S. officials have said they do not have enough funding to place advance orders for additional vaccine doses to cover all Americans, unless Congress passes the stalled package.
27-APR-2022 — Fact Sheet: Biden Administration Underscores Urgent Need for Additional COVID-19 Response Funding and the Severe Consequences of Congressional Inaction
09-MAY-2022 — U.S. will limit next-generation Covid vaccines to high-risk people this fall if Congress doesn't approve more funding
21-MAY-2022 — As COVID funding runs out, U.S. could see rationing of supplies
Months now they've dragged their feet because it might help Democrats; their party's levels in broken public opinion polls don't fair as badly as Biden's because the media hasn't held them accountable for their intransigence.
The GOP doesn't care a whit if it hurts their own voters because a red state remains red even when the bodies pile up in the morgue.

Older people are the most reliable voters and the ones who vote GOP most often, but these deaths don't matter to the GOP because media about these deaths hurts Democrats more.
It's death by GOP passive-aggression.
The GOP wants to kill girls' sports in public education. Ohio is the vanguard leading the way by passing a bill in its state house allowing anybody to contest a minor child's gender identity which would then require a physical examination of the child's genitals if that child is enrolled in a school participating in interscholastic sports.
A few days ago, the Ohio Republicans passed a change to state law that was snuck in at the last minute, under the guise of "protecting" girls sports. https://t.co/gauBPgG8hL
— Pole Vault Power (@polevaultpower) June 5, 2022
Read that Twitter thread and the bill linked in it. That bill is an utter dumpster fire.
It's sexual assault by the state sanctioned by the GOP. It's little different from Larry Nassar's assaults on gymnasts who didn't consent to his abuses; these minors likewise can't consent/dissent and their parents will be obligated to consent on their behalf if the child participates in sports.
The bill doesn't obligate male-identifying minors to go through the same invasive inspection which means this bill is clearly aimed at controlling female-identifying bodies.
It's literally Trumpy "grab 'em by the pussy" governance beginning in K-12 education. It's not small government and it's not freedom; it's anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-women Trumpism, and sane parents would rather not allow their children to be subjected to this abuse for the sake of interscholastic sports.
The GOP means death to girls' sports, and in a secondary fashion, death to public education for girls.
Next up: mandatory burkhas – not out of line to assume this since obligatory inspection of girls' bodies is something the Taliban would insist upon.
The GOP claims it's the party of life but that ends with birth. They literally don't care if American babies died of starvation.

They also don't give a flying fuck if children starve, assuming they aren't already dead from mass shootings.

Morley pointed out the provision for funding school lunches was in the Build Back Better bill which the GOP rejected.
Stay cool this summer, kiddies, and starve; thank the GOP while you do so.
The GOP is about as helpful to America's children as Uvalde TX police at a mass shooting.
Regular community members consider yourselves warned this week could see a surge in trolls and trolling. The right-wing has been casting about for an approach to offset the anticipated bad news coming from the House J6 Committee hearings this week; so far they haven't settled on one thing partly because they are dealing with blowback about gun rights and police militarization. They've tried blaming Antifa repeatedly; some of the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol claim the Capitol Police set them up and Antifa was responsible.
Sure, sure. Looks like a set up.
But the head troll has sent up a bat signal for the fascist horde to flood the zone with their usual shit.
Let's not forget this bat signal isn't just about the January 6 hearings but about Bannon's own butt. His contempt of Congress case is back in court on June 15, coincidentally 10 days after this shout for troll mobilization.
There will be much less tolerance for bullshit here primarily because there will be more bullshit than moderators to shovel it. Bear with us, thanks.

The GOP is a death cult. How the media can continue to both-sides an organization which wants to destroy them and the democracy on which a free press relies is beyond me.

I think they know damned well what they're doing. They're literally paid to promote guns by the gun lobby, and by the gun lobby's sponsors (Russia, for one). Their calculus is that they'll kill more BIPOC/LGBTQ+/non-compliant women and disabled who in turn are more likely to vote Democratic.
They're compensated for death.
I was referring to the media in general. Crises drive views; views drive advertising; advertising pays salaries.
Except for Fox and its imitators; I believe they get most of their funding from cable subscription fees.
People need to pay attention to the streaming market — Tubi is Fox. Don't fucking watch Tubi.

coral says:
Thanks so much for this, Rayne! GOP is a death cult, and the acceptance of murder of our children in schools is nothing less than human sacrifice. Some events are so shocking that one never gets over them–Sandy Hook and all subsequent school shootings shock me to the core. It is as if the GOP is waging war on Americans, and I am at a loss for how to effectively fight back. Voting, urging others to vote, send gobs of money to Democrats I had hoped to fight for our children's lives….even when we win, the shadow of death looms ever closer, ever darker.
When Biden won I had some hope flicker, but now I just don't know. I've never seen this country in worse shape. Perhaps it was in the lead-up to the Civil War.
The difference I see between now and, say, the McCarthy period, or the Vietnam War period, is that then there was hope that citizen action, voting, organizing, etc, could make meaningful change possible.
When all elected politicians allow our children to be massacred time after time in our nations schools…it is a sign of moral and societal decay so fundamental that one simply cannot see a way forward.

darms says:
Rayne, Digby posted something Sunday that really got to me. She linked to a piece by Melissa Ryan about the GOP and mass shootings that, simply put, stated "For the Right, mass shootings are a feature, not a bug." Another telling quote – …"Mass shootings are a tactic of the Right. Deployed to terrorize Americans. Priming America for authoritarianism. The Right doesn't stop mass shootings or work to curb gun culture."… I dunno the answer but this sure seems like an accurate description of the problem and imho seems to explain a lot – https://digbysblog.net/2022/06/05/mass-death-is-a-feature-not-a-bug/
Ginevra diBenci says:
If Texas is a lab experiment, and they do believe mass shootings reflect a mental health crisis, then the Texas GOP proved this point by cutting over 200 million in funding for mental health. Decrease the funding, increase the crisis, and watch the massacres pile up.
Then blame it on teachers opening doors, or video games, or socialists canceling Jesus. Just keep up the war chant until the rest of us with our tears and rage and demands for change go away.
Ginevra, "mental health" is imho just another smokescreen, what I think Melissa (and Digby) are saying is that the right-wing authoritarians (aka Trumpies aka republicans) actually want these massacres to occur on a regular basis in order to 1) "numb" the populace to mass killings on a regular basis & 2) to prepare a "fertile ground" for their authoritarian (i.e. el presidente) rule. Again, these monsters think these regular massacres are a GOOD THING. Which is why they will take no action to prevent future massacres as many of them are quite safe in their gated communities and private schools…

Thanks Rayne for this post. I expect the death cult, the GOP, are practicing their dance moves. Moves for dancing on the graves of their victims when the SCOTUS drops the rest of their bombs this summer.
joel fisher says:
Your piece, with which I agree in every respect, reminded me of this from John Note at Breitbart last Fall:
"In other words, I sincerely believe the organized left is doing everything in its power to convince Trump supporters NOT to get the life-saving Trump vaccine."
It seems that by saying, "Get the shot", lefties–knowing what RW morons would think: "Nobody can tell me what to do"–got their intended outcome of dead Trumpsters. Nolte gives the left more credit for organization than I do.
I won't provide a link as it's easy enough to find and sending people to Breitbart is just wrong.
What an idiotic statement, part of the disinformation campaign against Democrats and any science left of center. The data showed they were killing themselves but it didn't matter, bashing the left mattered more than saving their own lives.
As I said, a death cult.
In fairness to Breitbart, I do mourn the death of Trumpsters with significantly less anguish that I feel for than regular people. All right I'm lying: the death of Phil Valentine brought me joy.
Spencer Dawkins says:
Rayne, thank you for this post. I wish I thought you were wrong, but I think you're dead right.

What Bannon really meant to say was, "Beat to quarters!" If Steve Bannon were actually to saddle up on a horse it would, I think, be a case of cruelty to animals.
I don't think he understands that one, either.
Lemoco says:
All of the GOP talk of second amendment remedies, 1776, the blood of patriots, etc., leans into the idea that power comes from the barrel of a gun, and I think that message has grown legs.

26. From in and around December 2020, through in and around January 2021, in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, the defendants, [NORDEAN, BIGGS, REHL, TARRIO, and PEZZOLA], did knowingly conspire, confederate, and agree, with other persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to oppose by force the authority of the Government of the United States and by force to prevent, hinder, and delay the execution of any law of the United States.
Purpose of the Conspiracy
27. The purpose of the conspiracy was to oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power by force, by opposing the authority of the Government of the United States and by preventing, hindering, or delaying by force the execution of the laws governing the transfer of power, including the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution and Title 3, Section 15 of the United States Code.

It also seems there is a massive generational turning of the wheel, and I say this a retiree, that leaders in all fields are hanging on way past time to find the door please! New blood is vital yet these egoists can't see the forest – Thank you judge Breyer.

Now that tech companies are reaching a plateau, those that emulated his tactics are entering the fray and they too will go the way of General Electric. Unfortunately it seems the GE motto applies in reverse. Whats bad for GE, is also bad for America.

With the GQP, the other principal narrative is about how these are all deranged lone wolves doing the shooting, but TX Gov. Abbott was already called out last week for cutting 217 m$ in mental health spending to undermine how he's solving the 'real' problem. Unfortunately, the courtier press hasn't continued to push that point.

wetzel says:
I do not know if it is descriptive enough to call the GOP a death cult. I think their party is swept up in totalitarian unconsciousness. I think they know these mass killings do not disempower them, despite their culpability. A school massacre is terroristic violence. It has an expressive dimension and it is a command which forces the entire country to accommodate to inhumanity. This increases the terror state where a criminal Other is always terrorizing us and can be the scapegoat for Big Brother's retribution. American violence is an atrocity exhibition that feeds totalitarian unconsciousness and empowers the GOP. Our failure to save the children makes us culpable in the genocide on ourselves. It accommodates us to the idea that human life is not sacred.
I have been trying to think about how a social system can transition from one state to another and whether you can talk about transitions needing 'work' or being 'spontaneous'. You can't really describe a social system using the same language as if it were a living cell or a chemical system in a beaker. Different system levels are incommensurable in systems theory, but you can talk about how the transition of a living cell to a senescent state in aging can't be reversed or how achieving chemical equilibrium is spontaneous, so I am thinking that the transition to fascist totalitarianism is spontaneous and irreversible if a path can be found.
These ideas are very reductive, but I think that is why the GOP feels no impetus to do anything meaningful about school shootings. The school shootings empower fascism by increasing terror. Thank you, Rayne, for your thought provoking post.
Lord Acton put it best: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The GOP we see today is the distillation of white supremacy which has always existed in what is now the U.S.; it has always had power because it built the system we live in. It has had absolute power because the system was built of, by, and for them. That power has absolutely corrupted them; they believe they are entitled to it and that no other system in which they are not supreme and dominant is legitimate.
There will be a change as the nation becomes less white because this country's potential is a true liberal democracy in which each citizen has the vote. The question is whether change to realize the fullness of potential comes with increasing violence or not. The GOP is fine with more violence because any resulting deaths are more likely to support their grip on power by diminishing their opposition.
Overtime the white supremacists seem to need less of a trigger to attack and I fear for the future. I recently discovered Throughline and their podcasts have seemingly helped me understand some of what I see from my cohort as well as what is considered "acceptable" when killing Americans.
The links to the Vietnam war and the prosecution of Tim McVeigh are the throughlines to January 6th and even Cheney seems to get what the GOP has wrought by elevating the white power base.

Sonso says:
Totally agreed; are we at a "tipping point", where people who have, heretofore, been peaceful resort to violence as a last, best option? In such a heated environment, false flag events can be catalysts for a total breakdown in social order. It's happened around the world in many instances, so it could happen here, too.
I'm inclined to think that there will be far more people curious to see and hear what the January 6th Committee has to offer–I'm sure every Republican will be tuned in–than will be interested in any GOP "counter-programming", especially if said counter-programming consists mainly of Grandpa Trump's smelly old fishing stories about 'the one [i.e., election] that got away'.
The May 27th episode of "This American Life" included a story about a father whose little boy was murdered at the Sandy Hook school shooting, and whose tragic death was exploited by the execrable Alex Jones. The story described how the father fought back against Jones's claims that Sandy Hook was a hoax, and how the father had to deal with the harassment and threats inflicted upon him by Jones's followers. But I was surprised to hear the father say that some of the people who initially tormented him eventually came to realize that he was telling the truth and accepted that the Sandy Hook massacre actually happened. The father said that a few of these people even offered to help him.
So there may well be a group of MAGA types who will tune in to see what the January 6th Committee has to present and may possibly change their minds about who is really to blame for the attack on the Capitol and which party is the real threat to American democracy. Hemingway's Jake Barnes might comment, "Isn't it pretty to think so?" but that's what I'm hoping for. After all, the worst doesn't always happen and sometimes the good guys win.
My vision of GOP counter-programming is more ominous than simply Trump going on a rant on Fox. I could easily imagine a bomb going off somewhere in order to cut into the live coverage of the hearings and shift the attention away from their work. I'm not saying a bomb at the Capitol or anything that direct, but a simple violent outburst of some kind to turn the cameras away from DC. I could also imagine some much more deadly scenarios to accomplish the same end.
I also wonder about what folks in Russia's Department of Meddling in US Politics might have in mind for Thursday, given how they jumped quickly to try to stifle the attention of the media to the Access Hollywood "Grab 'em by the pussy" tape by releasing the Podesta emails.

Email reveals Trump campaign told fake electors in Georgia to use 'complete secrecy' https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/06/politics/georgia-trump-investigation-fake-electors-email/index.html Katelyn Polantz, Zachary Cohen and Evan Perez, CNN 9:01 PM June 6, 2022
The email is part of the intensifying Justice Department investigation focused on the Trump campaign's interactions with so-called alternate Republican electors in states Trump lost and whether a scheme to organize them could be charged as a crime.
The Georgia email has not been disclosed publicly until now. It was sent by Robert Sinners, Trump's election day operations lead in Georgia on December 13, 2020, 18 hours before the group of alternate electors gathered at the Georgia State Capitol, according to multiple sources familiar with it.
Have to wonder if there were similar requests in the other states with fraudulent certifications produced by false electors, like Michigan.
Wonder if the DOJ is firewalling a larger January 6 investigation focusing on subsets like the false electors.
Christopher Rocco says:
Sinners. Aptly named.
Re Rayne's post and the Ohio law targeting trans athletes. As a male runner, I am …. amused at my fellow men who seem to care so much about who competes in women's sports. Maybe the women should decide??
So far this hasn't really been a huge problem in real life, other than in a few prominent cases such as that of the world class South African 800 meter runner Caster Semenya. For those who are not familiar, she was banned from running her favorite distance because of supposed genetic/ male(?) advantages she has due to her naturally high testosterone levels. (It is conjectured that she was born intersex). IMO that ban was a travesty — there was no question of her having transitioned to a new gender, and I know of no credible accusations against her regarding banned substances. Perhaps the case of the collegiate trans woman swimmer recently reported by NYT will someday matter more, who can say?
But if this issue becomes a real problem at the elite level, I hope that women athletes will solve it. Maybe by setting up an Olympic level commission composed of prominent female athletes and the appropriate medical/ scientific experts to study and report.
The Ohio legislature is, as you say, just trolling for headlines at the expense of any girls forced to submit to such invasive exams.
[Welcome back to emptywheel. Please use a more differentiated username when you comment next as we have several community members named "Jonathan" or "Jon." Thanks. /~Rayne]
Semenya is one of the best examples I can think of which this Ohio bill fails. Her hormones indicate she's not woman enough for Ohio's GOP though she was born with female organs, but let's be honest with ourselves that being a person of color also makes Semenya less acceptable to conservatives who will question the validity of any inspection which indicates she was born female.
Semenya has been "handicapped" by being a woman, subjected to enormous harassment based on her congenital attributes, and still she wants to run in women's sports. I say let her run if she's willing to do it in the face of so much bigoted disapprobation.

For Fox News to decide they're not going to cover the January 6th hearings seems like the same mistake Kevin McCarthy made when he decided the GOP was not going to have representatives sit on the January 6th committee.(the mutineers Cheney & Kinzinger excepted). If I were a regular Fox viewer, I'd be mighty curious about what it is the Fox TV hosts don't want me to see.
Fox will be sorta covering the 1/6 hearings – on Fox Business Network, with lesser-known anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Otherwise, they can't afford to interrupt the firehose of propaganda on the main "news" channel…

Because we all know how violent the wimmen folks are when their rights are degraded.
Like that unarmed mom who went into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde to rescue her kids after being stopped and handcuffed by Uvalde police. So violent. ~sigh~
Betting the threat will be used by the right-wing just the way Antifa was blamed for January 6.
Ted Cruz tried to blame BLM today for the rise in violence, specifically citing the 2020 riots, which in many cases the violence was done by cops (on and off duty) trying to provoke headlines.
Cruz is such a stupid ass. But he's not the only one who's tried to blame violence on people of color — that Trumpy Senate candidate Blake Masters spilled his racism this past week:
"It's gangs. It's people in Chicago, St. Louis shooting each other. Very often, you know, Black people, frankly. And the Democrats don't want to do anything about that."
Utterly disgusting.
And how about those librul big cities?:
New York City Is a Lot Safer Than Small-Town America Rising homicide rates don't tell the whole story. When you dig deeper into data on deaths, you'll find the more urban your surroundings, the less danger you face. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-07/is-new-york-city-more-dangerous-than-rural-america Justin Fox
June 7, 2022, 6:00 AM EDT Corrected June 7, 2022, 2:17 PM EDT
New Yorkers are only about as third as likely to die in transportation accidents of any kind as Americans are overall. Put homicide and transportation risks together, and New York starts looking like a refuge from the American carnage.
[links to TRUMP's inaugural address…LOL!]
Note: I don't understand statistics at all, so I don't know if any of this is correct, or if the logic is shoddy.
In NYC, most people take cabs or use mass transportation.
That article is conflating homicides and traffic accident deaths. But anyone who studies violent crime knows that it tracks with social disadvantage–poverty, lack of opportunity, despair and now the near-ubiquity of guns.
Anyone interested in this should look up the FBI's database of statistics on crime (at fbi.gov). Asking the right questions rewards a researcher with fascinating information but no simplistic sound bytes, especially not of the Fox variety.
The highest per capita rates of violent crime, for example, tend to be in smaller cities, often in red states, typically in segregated (by race but also by economic disparity) neighborhoods. A good way to discover this is to pretend you're buying a house in the city, and do a neighborhood search; real estate sites will steer you away from certain areas, which you can then look up on fbi.gov.
Or, you know, live in or visit a city and actually pay attention to those around you, their lives and what sustains or thwarts them.

Just had a friend suggest a nationwide AR-15 "buy-back or tax back" along with high capacity ammo included in the buy-back/tax-back and then ship the weapons and ammo to Ukraine.
Interesting suggestion.
Not the first time I've seen this suggested, but I'd be worried about the blowback, like the Stinger missiles and training provided to the "freedom fighters" in Afghanistan back in the 1980s. We could still see blowback even with the weapons we're seeing now, but they're easier to trace than AR-15s.
Not sure about the 'send them to Ukraine" part, but the buy back idea is good, and I have suggested to my congessman's office that a look at the the 1934 National Firearms Act, which put the Tommygun out of business via a hefty excise tax, might serve as a model. If semi-auto assault style weapons had a $4000 to $5000 tax on them, they might be less attractive.
Jim Seals, lead vocalist of Seals & Crofts (and older brother of the late Dan Seals, lead vocalist for England Dan and John Ford Coley), died yesterday at 80. Two of their hits were Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl. He may never pass this way again.

Scoop: Jan. 6 committee's secret adviser
https://www.axios.com/2022/06/06/jan-6-committee-adviser-james-goldston
The House's Jan. 6 committee has turned to a renowned former network news executive to hone a mountain of explosive material into a captivating multimedia presentation for a prime-time hearing Thursday.
James Goldston — former president of ABC News, and a master documentary storyteller who ran "Good Morning America" and "Nightline" — has joined the committee as an unannounced adviser, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: I'm told Goldston is busily producing Thursday's 8 p.m. ET hearing as if it were a blockbuster investigative special. […]
And let's not forget the religious side of hate preaching executing gays. Here is an example.

On Sunday, Christian hate-preacher Dillon Awes said that the government should execute every gay person. All of them.
"They should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head! That's what God teaches. That's what the Bible says."
When I saw that in my timeline yesterday, my first thought was "deeply-closeted self-hating gay." I hope somebody is already digging into Awes' background.
Yes. I totally agree with you Rayne. When these so called Christian pastors preach hate and violent giving permission to their followers to kill, I always go back to a quote my Gandhi:
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
Awes seems to be just one more mouthpiece for the Stedfast Baptist Church's message of hate (so designated by SPLC in 2014). He follows in the tradition of Donnie Romero, who praised the Pulse nightclub killer, and another more recent guy whose platform consists of repeating gay slurs to demonstrate "what side" he is on. They all seem consistent, unoriginal, and untethered to the Gospel, although the second guy does invoke Deuteronomy to recommend "stoning" of slothful or refractory teens.
Because death gives them so much energy and drive? I'm at a loss here.

Full Spectrum Light Therapy - Light Therapy Options L.L.C.
What is Full Spectrum Light Therapy?
Full spectrum light therapy is process of taking in bright, natural or artificial daylight through your eyes.
The best source of full spectrum light is sunlight. We are nourished by the stimulation of sunlight primarily through the eyes and skin. Sunlight entering through the eyes goes directly into the brains hypothalamus to affect every system and cell in our bodies.
Recommendations of daily requirements for sunlight range from a minimum of 10 minutes 3 or 4 times per week to a minimum of 1 hour per day.
Why Do You Need Full Spectrum Light Therapy?
Since the invention of the light bulb in 1879, we have changed our lifestyles from an outdoor society to an indoor society. Consideration, however, was not given to the effects of artificial lighting on human beings.
Light, with its full spectrum of radiation, is a life-sustaining element and a basic human nutrient. Relative to the power of natural outdoor illumination (100,000 lux), we are now living in the dark. Average indoor lighting is approximately 700 lux, or less than 1% of the light we are naturally intended to receive. Consequently, we suffer the physical, psychological, and emotional results of a lack of natural light, or malillumination.
Spend some time outside – without your glasses or sunglasses when possible.
Relocate to a climate more suited to outdoor living.
Add a sunroom to your existing home.
Use a full spectrum, bright light therapy box.
Color Rendering Index (CRI). The Color Rendering Index rates the light's ability to duplicate the entire visible spectrum. The sun, for example, has a CRI of 100. Anything over 90 CRI is considered full-spectrum lighting. Opt for the highest CRI you can find.
Correlated Color Temperature.Correlated Color Temperature measures the temperature at which a lamp burns. A color temperature of 5,000 to 6,500 degrees Kelvin is required to be considered full-spectrum. A full-spectrum light source is a bulb that has a CRI of 90 or above with a color temperature between 5,000 and 7,500 degrees Kelvin. Further to full-spectrum light, there is another form of light which only the sun provides.
Though it has received a lot of ìbad mediaî in the past, UV is just as important to our health as the other parts of light. Remembering that it should be experienced in moderation, UV is the part of light which allows our bodies to produce vitamin D. Without it, we become vitamin D deficient. Because of the widespread fear of UV, vitamin D deficiency is now a worldwide epidemic.

Instead of me giving the conclusion, you should give conclusion, if you have been reading this series. What is your conclusion? Is ADHD a disorder or myth or creative mind or genius geek or mental/crack/rebel mind? What is your view? What did you understood?. If you have ADHD then you will feel all of the above at one point in life and may be even once a day. If not then you may have only one opinion – mostly as "disorder" or "very different" person.
First of all, ADHD word is a big misnomer !!. I wanted to name the series as "Creative Mind" but then people might completely think about only rosy part and ignore the thorn part. And also "Creative Mind" may give a feeling as if this is for some special people not for people like you and me. So, I ended up using ADHD in the title. My view of ADHD is this really a gift but it takes lot of pain to get to the gift. Many gifts are unopened due to lack of awareness and knowledge about this. Hence my this little attempt of creating awareness.
If you have ADHD or any one in your family or friends don't try to write it off with half knowledge. People with ADHD are really good hearted, sensitive and creative people. But untreated ADHD will result into all kinds of addictions and problems. ADHD people need lot of support from family members , esp from spouse.
If you read this series from top to bottom you should get a fair idea about ADHD and if you have open mind then you will conclude this as positive and consider as gift !!. I hope and wish lot of awareness will be created on ADHD and more genius people will be uncovered and become some kind of "bad people" and "addicts".

Monday night, I did my weekly segment on Philadelphia's 96.1 FM/ 900 AM W.U.R.D. show The Lounge. I talked to listeners about responding to racism, and how to maintain your emotional and mental health in the process! After the events in Charlottesville over this past weekend, we need to be reminded about the importance of communication, clarity, and community in healing and overcoming the negativity surrounding us. We have the power to peacefully create change. We first must understanding where we go wrong and then how we can go right! Listen Below and Share!
As a white woman with a Jewish grandmother who lived through the 60's and was in Chicago when King was murdered and the National Guard occupied our neighborhood, I actually find it more challenging to talk to other white people. So that's the challenge I am going to try to take up. Thanks.
I agree. It is very challenging, but I keep trying.


The Thirty Meter Telescope's Workforce Pipeline Program has committed to donating $320,000 to the Akamai Summer Internship Program, making it the biggest donor to the internship.
The internship focuses on helping STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — college students from Hawaii build their skills for the growing technology industry.
Eighty percent of the program's alumni are still in the STEM industry after five years, according to a news release. About 24 percent are Native Hawaiian, about 37 percent are women and about 47 percent are minorities, the release said.
Along with the donation, TMT provides mentors for each intern during the eight-week program. Students selected for the internship get to work on a project at a science company or facility on Maui, Hawaii island or in California.
Interns are provided with a $3,200 stipend, housing and travel from their home to the internship site.
The Akamai program, launched in 2002, is part of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Almost 400 students have gone through the program.
Applications for this summer's internship are due Feb. 14. Visit akamaihawaii.org for an application and more information.
