KABF Collage Radio Noon - 3 pm CDT Saturday 88.3 FM in Central Arkansas www.KABF.org #musicsky 💥

Digital collage for KABF Collage Radio, airing Saturdays, noon - 3 pm on 88.3 FM or www.KABF.org on the internet. On a background of candles lit in the darkness, there are cutout images of an upraised fist colored like the US flag; the Statue of Liberty holding a sign reading "we are all immigrants;" free speech advocate Mario Savio glowering at the camera; Captain America punching Hitler in the face; a man carrying an upside down American flag; a woman in an American Flag hijab and and Jerry Garcia's Uncle Sam top hat; Mephistopheles, still wanting to make a deal; and a a flappper-era woman wrapped in a Pride flag robe.

In 1949, Fats Domino recorded a strong contender for the first rock & roll record, The Fat Man, at Cosimo Matassa’s studio in New Orleans. That studio was located about a mile from where Homer Plessy protested his segregated rail car accommodations, which prompted the 1896 Supreme Court case that provided legal cover for Jim Crow for two generations. As a black man, Domino shared the brunt of the cruel oppression of American apartheid.

Yet, here we are with this explosive expression of the human spirit. Over and over, the soul of America lives and breathes in this music, in passionate defiance of the evil and mediocrity of little men. This music remains a nuclear fusion of the body and mind in an expression both uniquely American and far, far more expansive. The chain reaction still propels the best of us.

That’s what I’m celebrating. Who needs fireworks when we’ve got Earl Palmer?

James McMurtry & Betty Soo brought the songcraft & sincerity to the best dive bar in the known universe, @whitewatertavern.bsky.social, Thursday. Packed house. Sometimes the strong sense of community in the room felt just a little bit like hope. #musicsky

Justice Jackson

Jackson, J., concurring

Ultimately, then, it is the Government and JUSTICE THOMAS who have "repurposed the Fourteenth Amend-ment."
Post, at 91. By ignoring that our Constitution
stands firmly against caste and subjugation-on all axes and in all manners-they deny the clear, universalist vision shared and proclaimed by the Fourteenth Amendment's Framers: to "rebuild a shattered empire ... to plant deep and solid the corner-stone of eternal justice, and to erect thereon a superstructure of perfect equality of every human being before the law."60
Of course, the ultimate irony is that for all the talk about the detestable Dred Scott decision, the Government and the principal dissent propose a return to its core tenet. Their bottom line is that, for certain people, being born on American soil will not suffice to confer citizenship. It is that odious conclusion that the Citizenship Clause plainly rejects, as the Court explains. Ante, at 26. I add only that the Fourteenth Amendment's universalist aims should forever be the death knell for this kind of claim-one that seeks to make bloodline the marker of birthright. The America that was reborn from the rubble of the Civil War simply does not countenance that inequitable result. Thankfully, a majority of the Court remembered this today, and has dutifully preserved the most basic animating principle of our Nation's founding-that all human beings are created equal-once more.
