Even one of The Golden Girls isn’t safe from being erased from having served! Bea Arthur was one of the first women to join Marine Corps Women’s Reserve

As a white woman with college degrees, this tracks with my experience. And guess which column is louder?

Some scientists had argued that the “forest gardens” of the Pacific Northwest were accidental byproducts of fire, flood, or land clearing.
But a 2021 study showed the contrary: Indigenous peoples deliberately cultivated them. scim.ag/41Gocwe #InternationalDayOfForests

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."
It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

No truly civilized society would let a basic human need like shelter be corrupted by greed. A system driven by profit over empathy, domination over justice, cannot claim to champion liberty. It’s time to dismantle a structure that exploits and oppresses its own people. #Generalstrikeus

Make no mistake, Donald Trump is peddling Russian propaganda and trying to rewrite history—while propping up autocratic regimes and undermining our democratic allies.
We will not be gaslit.

🧵Class is in session. Today we are going to practice critical thinking like I would with students. A brief warning – I’m going to ask you to read something that you may disagree with in order to understand it. It’s ok to disagree. It’s not ok to skip the homework.

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.
I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.
