"There's coexistence and even assimilation of Native peoples among the colonists. And then you have all of these separate nations at the West who are fearing the encroachment of the settlers and early on, figure that maybe they should go with the British." www.bpr.org/2025-10-20/k...

Ken Burns' 'American Revolution' series includes voices the founders overlooked

Burns' PBS documentary includes the perspectives of women, Native Americans, and enslaved and free Black people — all of whom were initially excluded from the declaration "all men are created equal."

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

Donald J. Trump +
@realDonald Trump
Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the
2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior!

How is she both a white supremacist who thinks Indigenous people had no civilization or culture until they were conquered by Europeans and also an anti-vaxxer?

"We brought you modern civilization. Don't believe in modern medicine though it's the devils business"

@TaraArmstrongBC
Our ancestors built Canada out of an untamed wilderness. They didn't steal it. Land acknowledgments stem from resentment of this civilization. Canadians shouldn't feel ashamed of their history; they should be proud of it.

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

Great points from @leahlitman.bsky.social explaining how conditions for Trump's $230 million heist were partly created by SCOTUS, the immunity decision, and unitary executive theory. Trump cited immunity ruling in docs seeking this money.

“For years, conservatives loudly complained that government spending was opaque, that their hard-earned dollars were being secretly misused, and that the government definitely did not need all the money it was taking from them.

That was always hyperbole … until now.”

"When Democrats or liberals question the morals of Trump voters, the press treats it as a major scandal. But Trump expresses a desire to cover protestors with feces — essentially saying that anyone who disagrees with him is shit — the media is barely willing to talk about it. Why?"

Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?

For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

My response to the NYT’s “moderate to win” argument: The data shows the strategy is tapped out. Being seen as moderate by voters doesn’t boost votes, replacing every progressive with moderates would net 0 seats, and the graveyard of defeated D incumbents if full of moderates, not progressives.

The New York Times Argues “Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win.” But the Data Shows the Strategy Is Tapped Out.

Democrats already run moderates in nearly every swing district. It's not enough. A data-driven response to the case for centrism as a core electoral strategy.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

When Trump or his goons talk about "antifa," they might as well be talking about demons or leprechauns.

But this fake threat shows how the Trump administration has fully absorbed real organized criminal gangs.

Yep, echoes of Nazi history in this.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."
