The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery.

Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

In this week's episode of wtf is going on, I'm doing a deep dive into Alice Marie Johnson, our Pardon Czar. I have questions.

Join me on June 14

NO KINGS!!!
Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. Georgia alone has over 20 cities participating!

Today is a "no buy" day. It's a protest to hit them in the wallet. I'm proud to be supporting by not buying anything with a card, not going to any chains, supporting small and local businesses, and paying with cash.
I'm working to make this a way of life and not just a day's protest.

Here's a quick reminder that H!tl3r wasn't elected. He was appointed chancellor by the president.

Some of you all didn't even read a summary of project 2025 and it shows.

As a massive Golden Era fan, I was hoping for some accountability. For any of the things he's done. Not surprised but quite disappointed.

I'm getting pretty sick of saying that 30 times a day.

Dang, I really didn't pay much attention to Nancy Garcia. Now I can't look away.

Is the penny obsolete? Many people are adamant that it's time to stop minting virtually worthless coins.

Can't we just make pennies out of something else? Non-toxic, not expensive? This impact feels too big to not think this through.

If they don't look at you the way I look at @repjasmine.bsky.social dump them.

Having successfully made it out of bed this morning, I feel like everything I do from this point forward should end with "TA-DA!!"

I'm gonna lose but I will absolutely try to Roadhouse anyone who pulls this shit around me. 100%

Is...is this real?

At least Thomas Cromwell read the laws and religion he was fighting against. These nominees don't seem to have much of an answer other than "I'll look into that." "I'm not aware of those statements." I like that Bernie flat-out told them 'You're unprepared for the job interview.' It's going great.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests This is "We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests" by MediaTank on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

So the guy who believes vaccines are k!ling people just said he thinks AI is going to be a great support to the Medicaid issue. Awesome.

Charlie Chaplin dressed in off-brand H!tl3r clothes in a lavish office holding a world globe balloon on his desk.

I saw The Great Dictator on the big screen recently. My local independent theatre has been running anti-fascist films all January. While I'm so grateful they did it, I wish it wasn't over.

Get ready to be sick of me.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.
