Charles Willson Peale, Yarrow Mamout
Charles Willson Peale, Yarrow Mamout YouTube video by Smarthistory

Muslims don't belong in American society, says Andy Ogles.

And yet Yarrow Mamout was here, literally before the creation of the United States, and had his portrait painted by Charles Willson Peale.

In other news the @theatlantic.com is beyond redemption.

Their primary function is acting as a laundry service for extreme right wing ideas to gullible liberal boomers.

If you care about facts and insightfully reasoned arguments, look elsewhere.

Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.

Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

Well also, I just don't think it's in him to understand how disrespectful it is. And as you say, he's surrounded by enablers so no one is going to tell him.

After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death “Brutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.

After Trump officials cut food aid to Kenya, children starved to death in an American-made hunger crisis.

Back in the Iraq war, a running joke was the confusion that pro-war advocates could not distinguish between Shia and Sunnis, which seems like a degree of unbelievable sophistication now.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Hi @gwr.com will you stop funding the promotion (👇made explicit in this article) of removing the vote from black & brown people who’ve lived here for decades😱 - including a chunk of your own workforce? Cc @rmtunion.bsky.social @aslefunion.bsky.social @tssa.bsky.social

I have a favor to ask of anyone who is willing.
My son is a junior in high school, and is taking an AP Research class in which he has to gather original data. His topic is education policy for individuals with intellectual disability. The survey takes about 5 minutes (15 questions).

powerful academics getting to retire after being linked to a child sex trafficer is not "accountability" or "facing consequences" or "a reckoning" or "justice" it's just them retiring. These institutions continue to beclown themselves. Divest.

So Hegseth is attacking Scouting America for treating trans kids with respect, including respecting their chosen names... at the same time he demands you respect the made up name for his department, which he changed illegally without congressional approval.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley introduces resolution to protect and celebrate Black museums and cultural institutions Pressley tells theGrio the resolution seeks to counter Trump's attempts to "rewrite and whitewash" Black history through executive action.

Black history is American history—my resolution honors & celebrates museums keeping our shared history alive.

We refuse to yield to whitewashing of our Black ancestors' labor & joy.

Instead, we support & defend the institutions who do the essential truth-telling of our stories.
