Trump hats, face masks, and Marvel-inspired "MAGA: Civil War" shirts dated "January 6, 2021" worn #onthisday in 2021 by members of the violent mob that stormed the US Capitol. The shirts and others like them were widely cited as evidence that the traitors planned their deadly attack in advance. #OTD

Your yearly reminder that the Republican-controlled Congress still refuses to place this plaque inside the Capitol Building to honor the men and women who defended democracy on January 6, 2021. Shame on them. #January6

"The Monroe Doctrine was basically a justification by the United States to exercise force in Latin America. And that was renounced by President Franklin Roosevelt as part of a shift away from the idea that states could use force whenever they wanted to."

Sometimes our best efforts do not go
amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow
that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you.

What's it like to be a human
the bird asked
I myself don't know
it's being held prisoner by your skin
while reaching infinity
being a captive of your scrap of time
while touching eternity
being hopelessly uncertain
and helplessly hopeful

Just 2 years ago the NHL attempted to ban “pride tape” on sticks. Now the hottest show on tv is a gay hockey romance adapted from a MM romance novel by Rachel Reid. Clips from the show are played at stadiums. Episodes are shown at sports bars.

Did you know the term "alpha male" was coined from a study of wolves in captivity, a study of wolf prison culture. As studies were done of wolves in the wild, we learned wolf packs do not have alpha males like wolf prison culture.
