What Gets Passed Down
This piece tells a story of rural Southern Missouri through the forms of knowledge inherited when the state offers nothing: no direction, no infrastructure, no recognition. The author is from Douglas County, where his family still hunts and welds and buries its dead. Electricity came late. Broadband still hasnโt come at all. Seth comes from the Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri, a tribe erased not just by settler removal but by federal recognition itself.

The Karen Effect:ย A Cop Town’s Reckoning with Police Power
Americaโs latest referendum on police power is coming from an unlikely place: Canton, Massachusetts, a mostly white upper middle class and pro-police suburb located just fifteen miles outside of Boston. Jury deliberations began this week in the second murder trial of Karen Read, who is accused of killing her cop boyfriend. For the past three years, the case has divided Canton, with a significant number of residents convinced that Read is being framed by the police and the wealthy local families with ties to them. While the case has all the elements of a true-crime saga, its significance lies in that it is shedding a light on the deepening crisis of police legitimacy among white Americans. In addition, it is also revealing--yet again--the pernicious effects of whiteness, as seen by the inability or unwillingness of Karen Read supporters to connect her fight against a corrupt police and legal system to the current anti-ICE/police uprising.
