Every archaeologist knows in his heart why he digs. He digs… that the dead may live again, that what is past may not be forever lost, that something may be salvaged from the wrack of ages, that the past may color the present and give heart to the future.

This week, at the court martial proceedings for Army Private Bradley Manning, the prosecution and defense clashed over specific tweets and online documents that the prosecution wants included as evidence. At issue is how and when Manning leaked the classified documents on US military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the “Collataral Murder” video showing US killings of civilians and journalists. For an update, we’re joined by journalist Kevin Gosztola, he’s covering the trial for Firedoglake.com and is also co-author of the recently updated Truth & Consequences: The US v. Bradley Manning.

Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I’ve heard educated white people say, ‘slavery was 400 years ago.’ No it very wasn’t. It was 140 years ago…that’s two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That’s how recently you could buy a guy.

Sylvester Magee, the (probable) last American born into slavery died in 1971.
The last living child of former American slaves, Mississippi Winn, died in 2010.
Slavery in the territory that is now the United States lasted more than 330 years. We will be 330 years removed from slavery in the year 2195.

June 19, 1964: The Senate Passes Civil Rights Act
On this day in 1964, the Senate passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The act was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2. The landmark act barred discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin in public facilities — such as restaurants, theaters, or hotels. Discrimination in hiring practices was also outlawed. The Civil Rights Act paved the way for future anti-discrimination legislation, including the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Russell Brand Destroys MSNBC Talk Show Host for Treating Him Like Shit
“Casual objectification” is an excellent term for not only what these people were doing to him, but for pretty much the entire institution of “celebrity.”
Also, Russell Brand is very funny. These people have no idea how to handle intelligent discourse blended with humor. They are speaking very different cultural languages. It’s a fascinating thing to watch.
