I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.
I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.

On Presidents Day we honor George Washington, who in 1972 helped the McMann & Tate ad agency land the Whirlaway account, and Abraham Lincoln, who on Stardate 5906.4 will give his own life to save Captain Kirk from Genghis Khan, Col. Green, Zora and Kahless the Unforgettable.

William Howard Taft was the 27th U.S. president and later the 10th chief justice, the only American to hold both roles. Born in 1857, he rose through judicial and administrative posts, shaping law and government with steady, pragmatic leadership.

FEMA camps conspiracy theory
The FEMA camps conspiracy theory is a belief, particularly within the American Patriot movement, L' that the United States Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison
United States citizens in concentration camps, following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. 1112)(3114] In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme
versions, large numbers of United States citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established. The theory has existed since the late 1970s, but its circulation has increased with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. 12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dmht6n3frexsulkabk4vtrdm/bafkreib3lxmxbiovqymtftmsk5nu2lvdneqvusa3sjg6bomfy2dgltolq4@jpeg)

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

The treatment for my incurable cancer impairs my resistance to germs. It would be nice if the HHS secretary would fight the spread of disease because not all of us can afford to be an insane selfish asshole like him.

🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc.
Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.
