History’s heroes were too often chosen by those with power.

The NYT’s “Overlooked” series restores the women and people of color left out—like Henrietta Lacks, whose cells changed medicine but whose name was nearly lost.

Forgetting isn’t passive. It’s a choice. 🗃️

Stephen Miller accidently says the quiet part out loud and says trump has plenary power meaning Trump has absolute power. Then stops talking because he knows he messed up. @kendallyb.bsky.social shows us CNN edited out the mistake in future broadcasts.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Oh how she could have prosecuted Epstein while she was the AG in Florida.

Greg Abbott used Texas taxpayer money to fly undocumented immigrants to Chicago and now he's using Texas taxpayer money to send our troops there to clean up a phony crisis he created.

Ever wonder why the GOP blocked Epstein files? This op‑ed pulls back the curtain on Trump’s moral ties to the scandal. https://americanmanifesto.news/trump-is-a-pedophile-the-republican-party-is-the-pedo-party

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

The question is, did Donald have the information from the Epstein files and do his own blackmailing? It seems right up his MO.

We should all brace for impact. I want to reflect on Congresswoman Barbara Boxer, who sent a letter to Congress before she left her position, asking for an investigation into the "trump Modeling Agency". That's a thread they don't want pulled. It's obvious you're right about the import. 🇺🇲💙

ICE shot a woman. They then lied and said she drove herself to the hospital (she didn't). They are CERTAINLY lying about her having an assault weapon.
YOUR GOVERNMENT IS SHOOTING US CITIZENS.
