It’s a good time to let your local school boards and reps know you want truthful inclusive histories.

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all.
The system does not hold people accountable.

This was indeed an interesting convo w comments from political science, legal, and historical perspectives-among other things I talked abt the Declaration as a case of organizing vs tyranny & one that illustrates contradictions in this country. As an ongoing project-one where we need everyone
