Maybe the Smithsonian’s African-American history museum really is unfairly committed to telling the story of the trans-Atlantic human trafficking cataclysm perpetrated by centuries of Europeans.

There should be a Museum of Whites in the New World (1492 - 1859). We can focus on slavery over there.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I’d love to talk to someone who does know a lot about domestic Venezuelan politics, but that’s not me. I remain confident nonetheless that politics is awful and people looking to succeed in it, especially now, are likely to support things no decent person should. There are nothing but bad options.

Thank you for sharing that. Try not to bust a vein, I’m not on the Nobel committee.

Charlie Wilde 🫧 @factsimile23.bsky.social · 2d

Could you say more about that?

Charlie Wilde 🫧 @factsimile23.bsky.social · 2d

Find me a moral cause and I’ll tell you how politics will ruin it.

She has a goal and limited alternatives. Politics is awful.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

People who believe bullshit about the form and history of our government should not be in charge of it.

It’s interesting how Xians reverse engineer their theology to suit their sociopolitics. It’s not helpful or wise or illustrative or persuasive, but it is interesting.

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.
