“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Mills vetoed a bill to prevent the taking of Indian land and one that would have given farm workers at least minimum wage. The list goes on.

have long suspected that trump thinks the insurrection act is an instant "i win" cheat code that make his opposition go away
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Will Trump be the deadliest non-war president? Actions, and inaction, has consequences.

Charlie Kirk’s memorial was Christian nationalism’s biggest moment.

In his video, @garrisonhayes.bsky.social points out how this is the Christian nationalist hallmark: fusing the sacred and the secular, where praise and partisanship become strange bedfellows.
