Supreme Court: Cool, but not Black people, no matter free or enslaved
Republicans in 1866: Let's fix that
Two law professors in 2025: Well, things are really very complicated.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Jeffrey Goldberg and Trump spoke regularly, despite him fuming about Goldberg’s work. Maintaining access to Trump means juicy stories, even if the stories aren’t about Trump. Trump loves gossip and will talk your ear off, that’s the Haberman scam.
You do understand that his inner circle and Trump himself are always talking to the journalists they slag, right? The whole adversarial, name calling thing is just a put on. Right out of the school of wrestling.

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...
Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

Lena Horne is often 1st considered a singer. She was the first African American woman signed to a long term contract at MGM in 1942. During WWII she performed for segregated troops at her own expense. During the Red Scare she was blacklisted. She was a prominent member of Civil Rights movement in DC

Every single person who opposes DEI is racist. Either directly or of the colorblind variety. Either way, they endorse the lie that White men are the most qualified group of people. And thus, the inclusion of others sacrifices quality. Only a bigot thinks this way
