1) Chattel slavery was evil, full stop.
2) Not every person on the Confederate side has to be "evil" for the defense of slavery to deserve categorization as such.
3) Treason in the defense of slavery is without honor, and deserves no honor โ€” because treason _period_ deserves no honor.

In a filing late last week, Trump's DOJ said silencers are "specially adaptable to criminal misuse."

Meanwhile, Trump & Hill R's are fighting to eliminate mandatory background checks for them.

Our president claims that Americaโ€™s gun violence crisis is a mental health issue, and then slashed ONE BILLION DOLLARS in school mental health resources.

@gabbygiffords.bsky.social was on the hill today urging members of Congress to stand against this dangerous agenda.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

They didn't "become dependent." The United States invested in research which has paid us back trillions in both direct and indirect benefits.

Trump is destroying a wealth and health producing machine.
