For Some Black Americans, Love Of Country Means Holding It Accountable Black Patriotism Can Mean Reconciling National Pride With Systemic Racism - https://www.npr.org/2020/07/03/886535795/for-some-black-americans-love-of-country-means-holding-it-accountable When Timothy Berry decided to attend the U.S. Military Academy West Point, patriotism was one of his driving factors. He describes it as an active verb, not merely "a flag waving." "I have always had a profound appreciation for what this country has said its ideals are," Berry said. "But being a Black American, in particular, one that served in uniform, I've quickly realized that there were just a lot of contradictions in there."
City of Richmond Begins Taking Down Confederate Monuments https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/richmond-removes-stonewall-jackson-statue-confederate-monuments.html The city of Richmond, Virginia, took down a statue of Gen. Stonewall Jackson on Wednesday as part of a broader push to remove roughly a dozen Confederate-era monuments on city land. Hundreds came out to watch the removal of the statue memorializing the Confederate general, a move steeped in symbolism given Richmond’s role as the capital of the Confederacy. The political makeup of the state has changed dramatically over the past two decades, as has, more recently, the nature of the national conversation over the appropriateness of statues memorializing a dark, brutally repressive period of American history. The Jackson statue was one of numerous city monuments to the Confederacy created many decades after the Civil War aiming to rehabilitate the South’s image, recasting it as a defender of states’ rights rather than a propagator of slavery. When the Jackson statue was finally on the ground, the crowd cheered, and bells rang out from a nearby church.

Americans Want More, Not Less, Immigration for First Time https://news.gallup.com/poll/313106/americans-not-less-immigration-first-time.aspx Thirty-four percent of Americans, up from 27% a year ago, would prefer to see immigration to the U.S. increased. This is the highest support for expanding immigration Gallup has found in its trend since 1965. Meanwhile, the percentage favoring decreased immigration has fallen to a new low of 28%, while 36% think it should stay at the present level. This marks the first time in Gallup's trend that the percentage wanting increased immigration has exceeded the percentage who want decreased immigration.

There’s obviously been a rash of new Administration action against immigration. The move against foreign students & asylum seekers as well as the impending re-cancellation of DACA: these are not efforts to “rally” the President’s base, a former Administration official told me. 1/ https://twitter.com/jonathanblitzer/status/1280862342830489601 But now even some WH stalwarts concede that Trump is in a kind of free fall. And what we’re seeing is Miller and his cabal trying to force through as much as they can before the music stops. “This was obviously going to happen,” ex-official said. “Totally predictable.” End/
What San Francisco, a city built by Chinese quasi-slave labor, has become: smirking tech bro yelling at Asians in a restaurant “you need to leave” and “Trump’s going to fuck you.” Also why does the headline lead with his “apology” https://twitter.com/gerryshih/status/1280857228606681088
