![]() ![]() The fight to create a less perfect union isn’t just reflected in white extremist terrorism and Fox News’s primetime lineup. ![]() Not since Reconstruction has this country so blatantly sought to reverse progress and strip away the most fundamental rights But that narrative obscures a variety of legally sanctioned acts of violence inflicted upon America’s non-white populace every day. It is easy to frame a lone gunman’s brazen act of lawlessness and the fearmongering ethnonationalism that produced it as a prototypical but rare act of white supremacy. Unfortunately (for the white majority), the only way to preserve white power is to stop moving forward. At its foundation lies the desperate attempt to preserve and maintain control based on nothing more than being born into whiteness. It is the same concept that once made interracial marriage illegal, spawned Jim Crow and motivated southern segregationists to switch to the Republican party. ![]() While more Americans are becoming aware of the theory, it is not new. On Saturday, an 18-year-old white supremacist traveled more than 200 miles to target Black residents of Buffalo, New York, in an attack inspired by the “great replacement theory” – the increasingly popular notion that America’s white majority is being intentionally replaced by a multiracial, multi-ethnic population. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s against Mike Bravo’s rules to fraternize with other team members, and I always follow orders.īut something tells me Iris might be worth the insubordination.

Carli is super dedicated to the game, she gives it her all no matter what and she couldn't speak any higher of James. One of the main people in the whole book is James Galanis, a coach who Carli ends up teaming up with to improve on aspects of her game. I love how she goes on to say how family don't come to games as she doesn't really want the distraction of getting into sorting tickets and making sure they are settled, she just wants to get on and play the game. Now I wouldn't have known anything in regards to this if it wasn't for the book and I would never have known how much Carli's parents were actually involved with her playing. In the book Carli says she opted not to use a family member to act as an agent to help protect the family from any future fall outs however, this didn't go to plan and ultimately led to a family fall out and eventually Carli ended up being kicked out. Not only does the book focus on Carli's rise to the top of the game but it also focuses on her family and how the effects of her decisions ultimately lead to a family rift where she ended up not seeing family for years. ![]() ![]() Instead, Cleary wrote about the familiar, everyday drama of parents arguing about the best way to cook pancakes and little girls resisting the wiles of toothpaste tubes that just REALLY wanted to be squeezed. Not cheaply, in a tawdry fashion, like the authors who followed Cleary in the 1960s and 1970s did, writing about periods and parental abandonment and anorexia and gang violence. While it wasn’t unexpected, since Cleary was, after all, 104 years old, still it felt to me like the end of an era, the passing of the old guard who believed that children deserved and desired a child’s level of realism in their stories, and gave it to them.
