rename all the Robert E Lee shit in Virginia for George Thomas, the Virginian General who stayed loyal to the union and kicked the Confederacy's ass.
I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

NYTimes Headline: The Women Who Believe That Women Should Lose the Right to Vote Subhead: Adherents to biblical patriarchy support household voting: One household, one vote--the husband's. They say the idea is catching on.

Yes, we will all die one day -- and perhaps sooner than anybody expected because *waves hands all around* -- but watching Duke bottle a double-digit lead on the national (nay, international) stage makes it all fucking worthwhile
NO KINGS. NO DUKE.
A crippling Duke meltdown and choke 2 years in a row?
CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao
the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes
The famous Norman Rockwell painting "Freedom of Speech", featuring a man standing up to speak while many seated onlookers look at him.
People who fuck their students or their subordinates should not be elected to any position of power whatsoever under any circumstances.

As I scroll through triumphal pro-war tweets, thinking about this image a lot today:
Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.
