“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”
I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”
Tell Students the Truth About American History
We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Corruption at unprecedented levels with a murderous regime, a mark of totalitarian fascism but: "Blending family and governance" makes it sound like a harmless avocation. #BrokenTimes

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
Repost if you agree.

Exposing the Epstein Network is not going to be politically convenient. If your interest in unravelling a child rape network is to only take down Trump, you aren't interested in justice. Sure it can take him down, but you must adult up; accept it'll take down some of your favourite politicians too.
