Why MAGA Wants You to Think Slavery Wasn’t That Bad
Both the left and the right try to co-opt it, but the real story of American slavery doesn’t serve any one faction.

By Thomas Chatterton Williams

Sanitizing slavery has become a core objective of the reactionary right under Donald Trump—a malignant response to the progressive left’s oversimplification of American history for their own present-day ends.

Not all of the best universities in the country are on the list, and not all of the universities on the list are the best the country, but damn, it's a pretty good list of some of the best universities in the country. They're the kind of universities we want military officers to be able to attend.

A preliminary list of at-risk schools compiled by the Army for troops enrolling in law school and reviewed by CNN characterizes the following schools as being at "moderate to high risk" of being banned: American University, Boston College, Boston University, Brown University, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western University, Columbia University, College of William and Mary, Cornell University, Duke, Emory, Florida Institute of Technology, Fordham, Georgetown, George Washington University, Harvard, Hawaii Pacific University, Johns Hopkins University, the London School of Economics and Political Science, MIT, Northeastern University, Northwestern University, New York University, Pepperdine, Princeton, Stanford, Tufts, University of Miami, University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern California, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Washington University in St Louis, and Yale.

was thinking about this again today and just laughing like crazy

some screens from Infowars:

1. Kaitlin Bennett looking at the camera and saying "I thought it would be interesting to see if people had the courage to say the same things once I took off my disguise"

2. Kaitlin Bennett interviewing a woman on campus. the woman said "She's a shithead"

3. Kaitlin Bennett taking off her hat and glasses and telling the woman "What if I told you I AM that girl? Do you still think I'm a 'shithead'?"

4. The woman says "I mean yeah"

Choose your fighter

A collage of five images, three of which are on the top and two of which are on the bottom. The photos are of, in order: Sean Dunn (the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent), the Master Debater (ultimate debate chad), the guy who taunted ICE on an e-bike in Chicago and got away, the guy who punched Richard Spencer in the face on January 20, 2017, and our most recent hero who punched the guy trying to cause a ruckus at a high school by supporting ICE.

Each of the photos are of them in their “action shots,” if you will. Dunn is in the act of throwing the sandwich, Master Debater is in the midst of saying he would have both to some trolls question about whether he would have economic growth or gender equality, the e-bike guy is in the midst of taunting an ICE agent and biking away, the Richard Spencer puncher is seen right at the moment of making contact with his face, and our latest hero is clasping his hands together and saying “okay” after the troll said he would get in trouble if he punched him in the face.
