  • Fifty Years of Keeping Score, and the Fiftieth Report Says the Dream Moved Further Away

    Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, speaking at the Global Black Economic Forum

    The National Urban League has published State of Black America every year since 1976. The 50th edition landed last week with a sentence that should have led every newscast in the country: the American Dream "may not be dead for many Black Americans, but it is further away than at any point since the Civil Rights Movement." Black homeownership sits at 44 percent against 73 for white Americans. The median Black household holds fifteen cents …

  • "We Need Help": Mike Collins Asked Black Georgia for a Favor. Here Is the File.

    Official congressional portrait of Representative Mike Collins of Georgia

    On Saturday, Georgia's Republican Senate nominee stood in East Point in front of about a hundred Black conservatives and asked for their votes. His party's own operatives put the target at 15 percent of the Black vote. This page has assembled the complete file that request has to survive: the death-flight joke, the antisemitic reply he refused to delete, the monkey-chant video he captioned approvingly, the chief of staff in a group chat with Nick …

  • Tennessee Divided Memphis and Put the Rule in Writing: Say Nothing About Race

    Editorial cartoon: a judge in robes leans over the bench and peers through a large magnifying glass at an open ledger whose pages are completely blank. The ledger's cover is hand-lettered DIRECT EVIDENCE. Beside it on the bench lies a paper map hand-lettered MEMPHIS, cut into three separate pieces, with a pair of open scissors resting on top. The judge is looking only at the blank page.

    Tennessee's only majority-Black congressional district was 61.1 percent Black. In May the legislature repealed its own 54-year ban on mid-decade redistricting and cut Memphis into three pieces that came out 27, 28 and 32 percent. On July 23 a federal panel found the plaintiffs "lack any direct evidence of racial motivation," and then, in footnote 3, described the doctrine as a game in which the majority party "coaches its legislators to stay quiet." They stayed …

  • Ten Months After the Court Blessed the Stops, the Numbers Are In. The Dissent Was a Forecast.

    Official Supreme Court portrait of Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her judicial robe.

    In September 2025, Justice Sotomayor dissented from the order that let immigration agents resume stops based partly on looking Latino: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job." Ten months later, researchers pulled the government's own arrest data. Detentions of Latinos with no criminal record are up sixfold, and the agents are on bodycam using …

  • Trump Endorsed a Navy Vet Named Amir. MAGA Would Like a Refund.

    Editorial cartoon. From an upper window of a grand building labeled ENDORSEMENT OFFICE, a portly politician hands down an ornate scroll reading MY GREAT HONOR to a puzzled Navy veteran in dress uniform holding a folder labeled NAVY RECORD. A torch-and-pitchfork mob in identical baseball caps presses in, shouting in speech balloons: HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?, A SNAKE IN THE GRASS!, and NO WAY. At the mob's edge, a small bespectacled man holds up a sign reading HIS WEBSITE SAYS CHRISTIAN, and is ignored by everyone.

    This site spends most of its time documenting the movement's cruelty toward outsiders. Today, a rarer specimen for the collection: the machine turning on a man it was explicitly instructed to love. Donald Trump endorsed Amir Hassan for Michigan's 8th Congressional District on Truth Social, with the standard trumpets: "It is my Great Honor to endorse Amir Hassan," praise for his Navy service, his law enforcement career, the works. Let us review the candidate's résumé, …

  • The Civil Rights Agency Is Now Running Recruitment Ads for Aggrieved White Men

    Official portrait of Andrea Lucas, acting chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

    Some entries in this archive require context to understand why they belong here. This one requires context to believe it happened. The chair of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency Congress created in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because Black Americans were being turned away from work on sight, posted this: That is not a critic's summary. That is the post, with a video attached, from the government account of the …

  • A Congressman Called Them "Racist Thugs" With $240 Billion. We Checked Every Word.

    Official congressional portrait of Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García, Democrat of Illinois, in front of an American flag.

    Rep. Jesús "Chuy" García, Democrat of Illinois, posted a reel last week that says, in its entirety, what a lot of careful thousand-word essays have been circling for a year: "$240 billion for racist thugs to terrorize and kill people on our streets. But nothing for healthcare, housing, or the things Americans have been begging Congress to address." This site's usual work is holding Republicans to their own words, and the discipline we apply there …

  • In the Whitest Towns in New Jersey, 9 Percent Say the Schools Are Segregated

    Editorial cartoon titled THE NEW JERSEY VISION TEST. An optometrist swings a lens labeled SYSTEMIC RACISM into a phoropter in front of a seated patient and asks, "Better... or worse?" The patient, in a chair stenciled with the outline of New Jersey, is looking through a window at two schoolyards divided by a fence and a sign reading SCHOOL DISTRICT LINE: on one side a hilltop school with only white children, on the other a flat brick school with only children of color. The patient answers, "Oh. Now I see it." An eye chart on the wall reads NEW JERSEY VISION TEST.

    In New Jersey towns where one resident in a hundred is Black, 68 percent of voters say the local schools have "a good mix" of races. Eleven percent say the schools are segregated. That is from a survey experiment released on July 27, 2026 by the Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll, which did something nobody had done before in this state: it took what registered voters said about their own towns and laid it directly against …

  • Follow-Up: Arizona's 5th Read Mark Lamb's Texts and Nominated Him With 58.7%

    Mark Lamb, former sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, in a cowboy hat, speaking at an event.

    Five weeks ago, this site laid out the record on Mark Lamb: the 2016 messages where "America's Sheriff" laughed along to a border vigilante's use of the n-word and riffed on it, the homophobic jokes, the years of sexting through his traditional-values brand, and the part that should have ended the conversation on its own... a sitting sheriff threatening to have a woman arrested to keep her quiet, now under investigation by the Pinal County …

  • Republicans Have a Nick Fuentes Problem. They Also Have a $433 Million Problem.

    Nick Fuentes, the white-nationalist streamer whose online following calls itself the groypers, speaking into a microphone.

    On July 27, the New York Post's opinion page ran a column headlined "Republicans must save the party from young wannabe edgelords." On the narrow question, it has a case. The record on the edgelords is genuinely, documentably foul, and we will lay it out below rather than take anyone's word for it. But there is a direction-of-gaze problem here, and it is worth naming. The Republican Party is spending real institutional effort looking down, …
