This is so wrong. History is meant to be recorded and accessible. That includes the history of Presidents who owned human beings.

This episode RULED. The pure joy in your voice when you realized Philly Elmo was drumming right outside your door was perfection.

I hope everyone involved never has a moment's peace again. This is abominably and unnecessarily cruel.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Interim U.S. attorney fires more than two dozen Jan. 6 prosecutors in D.C. The lawyer and pro-Trump podcaster has fired Jan. 6 prosecutors, launched investigations of the Capitol riot investigation and threatened a Democrat with an inquiry.

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office.

And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Reminds me of the Girl Scout troop that set up a cookie stand in front of a weed dispensary in Colorado (they sold out in minutes).
