Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.
That’s exactly what happened in a remarkable sprint of history ten years ago this week. The Supreme Court upheld a critical part of the Affordable Care Act. A day later, it recognized a Constitutional right to marriage equality. And that same afternoon, a congregation in Charleston, still reeling from a horrifying act of racial violence but fortified by the extraordinary courage of ordinary friends and neighbors, led the country in a chorus of Amazing Grace.
It was a week that reasserted our freedoms. The freedom from fear that random illness or accident could cost us everything. The freedom to marry who we love. The freedom intrinsic to a people who, even when we lose our way, are never bound to the past – but rather great precisely because we can change.
Progress in this country is never guaranteed, either. But that week, it felt like the efforts of so many, across generations, was bending the arc of the moral universe a little more towards justice. I recently sat down with @GarrisonH to talk about that day, and what it can teach all of us about how change happens.

Why does Trump like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani so much? Well, we asked him.
On Thursday, Mamdani sat down with Mother Jones video correspondent @garrisonh amid a packed week for New York and the mayor specifically. On Monday, Mamdani met with Donald Trump, and pitched the president federal funding for a massive new affordable housing development. Trump left looking decidedly happy with the Mayor.
When Hayes asked why the president seemed so enamored with him, Mamdani replied: “This is the city where the President comes from.”
“The conversations we have are not just those of a mayor and a president, but those of two New Yorkers—New Yorkers with many differences of opinion, but who love this city,” Mamdani said.
Mamdani said that he brought up the need for stability for Haitian New Yorkers, who recently had their TPS status ended. “As long as someone can help the city,” he said, “I’ll talk to them.”

The irony of MAGA crowds attending a July 4th/USA250 event that intentionally excluded key parts of Black history, only to be forced to seek shelter from a storm in the African American History Museum is… something!

Every American should know this story 🇺🇸😮💨

Elizabeth Freeman was definitely About That Life and, according to journalist Errin Haines and historian Martha S. Jones, she should be regarded as one of America’s Founding Mothers.

As we look at America at 250, we’re reimagining an American Classic.
We rewrote ‘This Land Is Our Land’ to center Black and Indigenous people in the American story because:
“This land was built by you and me.”
Filmed across New Mexico, Massachusetts, and the DC/Virginia area—on lands Black, Indigenous, and Afro-Indigenous communities have long stewarded.
A remembering. An exploration. A short film continuing on the groundwork of Reclamation Day 🤲🏾.
