Fascism in real time..

To marry or to die? That is the question. St Eluned (d 6thC),daughter of Welsh king Brychan, ran away from home rather than marry a pagan prince.Villagers wouldn't help bc they were afraid of king.He found & beheaded her. Head rolled downhill, hit a rock & a healing spring arose,as often happens.

Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A poster reads "Keep California White Re-elect James D. Phelan United States Senator." A black-and-white photograph of James Phelan shows a white man with a beard.

Think California is a liberal bastion? Know your history. James Phelan was mayor of San Francisco from 1897-1902. He was a U.S. senator from 1915-1921. This is a poster from his 1920 re-election campaign. He lost, but later lobbied successfully to ban Japanese immigrants from coming to California.
