If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Introducing COSMO, a 5 month old mixed breed puppy I was lucky enough to pick up from PAWS Chicago earlier this week. ❤️❤️
I’ve been talking about having a dog for ages and I couldn’t be happier. He’s a handful but settling in nicely and already loving coming to work with me.
