Birth of a Nation was so racist that it literally *restarted the Klan* when it came out.
one thing that is important to know is that BIRTH OF A NATION is so racist that people at the *time*, in 1915, were like, “holy shit this is racist”
When the slightest bit of research shows he was consistently racist and a daddy issues Confederate fanboy.
People try to paint BIRTH OF A NATION as a masterpiece with some unfortunate racism. The whole movie is racist, the “masterpiece “ thing was backfilled to excuse it.

Senator Durbin has had this explained to him multiple times. Getting rid of 230 doesn't help this, but will make it worse. It will make it impossible for smaller sites to exist (like this one) and will give MORE POWER to companies like Meta and X.
Why would Durbin want to do that?

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Absolutely this. But TBH, I’d prefer if he was our current VP.
We’re proud to endorse Tim Walz for reelection!
Throughout his career, Gov Walz has worked to keep Minnesotans safe from gun violence, working across the aisle to expand background checks & advance lifesaving public safety measures.
He is exactly the leader Minnesotans deserve for four more years.

Venezuela is a case study in how letting the leader of a failed coup evade serious punishment and go on to participate in electoral politics can lead to the destruction of liberal democracy and the establishment of an illegitimate authoritarian regime. Good thing that could never happen here.
