If you can’t get the primary sources, read Johnson’s Middle Passage or Morrison’s Beloved.

The horrors of slavery cannot be overstated.

Your working out

Who were the two who stayed? Why did they do it?

Location?

I don’t care about him wrecking the White House. I care about him wrecking the planet. Destroying the environment. Unleashing diseases that could have been eradicated.

Only 10% down???!!!

Not the first. What happened to the Japanese in the US during WW2?

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election. How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

And the uncounted 2024 votes for Kamala that are just being published. I have a feeling that is going to be a major one.

The funniest thing is: Trump is BORED and PISSED and he can't leave until the parade is over...

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

They were outstanding. And depressing!

And there’s also Pope Leo live-streamed in Chicago…

A photo of RFK Jr. For the NYT with the headline White House Health Report Included Fake Citations

"It makes me concerned about the rigor of the report, if these really basic citation practices aren't being followed." Katherine Keyes, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University, was listed as the author of a paper on mental health and substance use among adolescents. She has not written any paper by the title the report cited, nor does one seem to exist by any author.

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST.

Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Such an interesting episode!

Horrific

Appalling. Very clear.

Why? Why vote Reform when we see what is happening in the USA and elsewhere?

Beautiful!!!

Who are EHRC?

No. And you know that.

But it wasn’t about toilets, was it? It was about women only spaces and boards, including women’s shelters.

Heather Cox Richardson Speech - 250 Year Lantern Anniversary - Old North Church YouTube video by VanTidesDIY

If you'd like to see and hear @hcrichardson.bsky.social deliver her blow-by-blow account of the lighting of the lamps in the Old North Church – where she gave this address – and the Ride of Paul Revere 250 years ago, someone did us the service of recording it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv5l...

I’m sitting on a train listening to a bloke on his phone haranguing a person who can only be a female… ‘it’s not all about your feelings…unacceptable…my time wasted…you’re too sensitive…you’ll tell me you’re sorry..’ on and on. Is it acceptable to grab his phone and punch him in the nose? I’m 70.

A truly appalling story.

You were already my favourite cook (sorry, family…) - you have now soared to new heights.

There are quite a few things happening that are ‘not allowed’.
