the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

My wife, a historian, is seeking SPECIFIC examples of history being disappeared that may not have gotten much national attention. Plaques, parks, history books removed from schools or libraries. If it was a big national story, we know, thanks. What’s happening near you?

Zuck is not having a midlife crisis, he's pivoting to an open embrace of fascism. The aesthetics are secondary and primarily about his awareness of how many people can be deceived by even the worst attempts of oligarchs to pretend to be cool and normal.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...
