This makes me incandescently angry. A refugee from genocide, a vulnerable, nearly blind man in an unfamiliar country, just treated like trash.

Everyone involved in this needs to go to jail.

We Need to Talk About the Right’s New Voter Suppression Target: Women The SAVE Act would make it harder for married women in particular to vote, and that is just one part of the MAGA right's misogynist project.

The SAVE Act absolutely will disenfranchise women.

More than a few on the right want women to lose the vote entirely.

I note that the White House originally said it was the White House Historical Association that preserved items from the East Wing. Now it says the General Service Administration and the National Park Service did. Did they? Did anyone?

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.

Send Canadian oil to Cuba - CCPA The United States is attempting to deliberately trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Canada must act in concert with regional allies to defy the blockade.

I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

Once again I want to say historians get jobs and do interesting things.

If any other global megastar needs a consulting historian, I'm available. Just putting it out there.

Remember that your elected representative is not psychic, you have to write to them and tell them what is important. Write your MP, your MNA, your city councillor. Write.
