The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

The Republican controlled Senate just destroyed our judicial system and gave the 🖕to the rule of law. Every single R Senator must never be reelected to any office in this country, let alone the U.S. Senate. They lack the morals and ethics to serve. May they all rot in hell.

Since 2009, I’ve shopped Etsy for gifts, keepsakes for my kids, and other special items.

I will *never* make a purchase from Etsy again since learning they’ve allowed Alligator Alcatraz merch on their site.

Etsy should be ashamed of themselves for profiting off human trafficking. Despicable.

Boomers voted for tax cuts and got social security.

Gen Z votes for climate action and gets called lazy.

Funny how the ‘entitled’ ones never seem to be the young.

MAWA: “Stop calling them Nazis.”

Their tattoos are directly linked with Nazis. But it doesn’t matter what you call them they have many names:

🖕🏽Nazis
🖕🏽Confederacy
🖕🏽MAGA
🖕🏽Klan
🖕🏽 America First

They are all the same fascist white nationalists different names in different eras.

HB 3225 is dead. Texas teens maintain the right to read freely in their local libraries.

Grassroots organizing, coalition building, and individual Texas students, authors, parents, librarians, & public library supporters using their voices WORKED.

Pay attention to this one…

They’re all in it together, and they already have our personal data— to build a massive database to track every single one of us.

But tell me again that TikTok is the security risk we should be worried about!

The MAHA report appears to be almost identical to a 2023 document put out by “Children’s Health Defense,” the antivaxx front that RFK Jr. used to pay himself >$20K/wk for spreading disinformation. It appears AI was used to make the tone more official sounding & add citations, many of which are fake.

Today in history, 1916: A vigilante mob lynches 17-year-old African American farmhand Jesse Washington in Waco, Texas, as more than 10,000 spectators looked on. It is one of most infamous examples of this horrific hate crime. /1

Dr. Marc Ruel, one of the world's top heart surgeons, was set to move from Ottawa to San Francisco this year.

He backed out because of the political situation here and the mistreatment of Canada by Trump through tariffs and annexation

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.

Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

It's been several hours since I first watched this clip of billionaire Howard Lutnick ruminating about Social Security, and I still can't believe it.

It's a rub-your-eyes-in-disbelief moment.
Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

Every Republican screaming for judges to be impeached because they are blocking Trump's illegal power grab were awfully quiet when we learned about billionaires handing out gifts and vacations to SCOTUS justices — who then ruled on cases despite major conflicts of interest.
