Here in Delaware we have a statue of Thomas Garrett, a white man found guilty of obstructing the recapture of fugitives from slavery – ordered to pay damages to the point of ruin for it.
We don't, to my knowledge, have any statues celebrating the judges or jury members who found him guilty.

I want to get rid of Dem politicians who are in the Epstein files, whether or not they can be convicted of crimes. The GOP is protecting theirs, which is all we need to know.
I'll be disappointed in Dems in the Epstein files. Deeply sad and disappointed they chose to be scum. But I will not lift a finger to protect a single one. I don't care if it's my favorite pol ever, if they chose to be criminals they should go to jail. The end.
Now it's your turn, Republicans.

The Trump admin is going after subsistence rights of Alaska Natives, in part by lobbying from the safari group representing sport hunters. This is part of a larger move building against Native land rights in AK (re: mining, oil).

Alaska Natives depend on subsistence hunting for food & to retain cultural practices/knowledge of our land. We are worried a review of the Fed Subsistence Management would affect subsistence hunting. This blog includes how Natives want to contribute, links to submit comments, and a template letter.

In true American fashion, one of the biggest things we learn about it was that US president Teddy Roosevelt won the Nobel peace prize for negotiating the peace treaty. I actually first learned this before history classes because of liking dinosaurs; there is a 1935 mural of it at the AMNH in NYC.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
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.

One of the WORST things you could get AI to do for you would be anything historical. Even just with google, never mind AI, a lot of what the internet has on offer is inaccurate, incomplete, or nonexistent. You need a human who knows where to look to get and synthesize the good stuff.
