If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

if you click that link, it goes to an interactive (& brief!) training that you can do on desktop or mobile 💗
if you’re protesting or considering it, stop the bleed training is very easy and super useful: www.stopthebleed.org/training/onl...
also look up IFAKs and make your own with gauze, tourniquet, gloves, and any other supplies you want available to you for you in the event you’re injured at a protest.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants."
In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

i hope more than anything what people learn from this 2nd trump term is that the capitalist class are aligned and they want you to have less rights and only want you to exist to generate profit for them
