The thought of the federal government going into cities to round up undocumented immigrants is horrifying to me, but we've been here before. Let's look to the abolitionists of the 1850s for inspiration on how to respond. 🗃️ kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/when-the-f...
When the Federal Government Hunted People in the Streets of Boston
Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants earned the ire of the governor of Massachusetts, where in a similar case in 1854, the city of Boston fought to protect a runaway slave.

It appears that the neo-Confederate yahoo, who prompted this post, has deleted his post. Surrender appears to be their default response to pressure.
Confederate general Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia included more than 10,000 enslaved laborers when it marched into the free state of Pennsylvania in late June 1863. But please, tell me more about how 'Confederates fought for the right to govern themselves.' LMAO 😂😆😂😆

The fact that @theonion.com outbid Penguin cosplayer Roger Stone to take over Infowars makes the best story of the day even better.
Roger Stone says it is “a tragedy” and “not fair” that he was outbid by The Onion in his attempt to buy InfoWars in the bankruptcy auction to keep it going, and wants Matt Gaetz to investigate what happened as soon as he takes office as AG.

What is worse than Republicans mistakenly referring to the Confederate monument in Arlington National Cemetery as a "Reconciliation monument," is the fact that they fail to acknowledge that the lie of the "faithful slave" helped to encourage that reconciliation between white Americans by 1914. 🗃️
