I would like to see how he deals with the hundreds of thousands of slaves who fled or tried to the North and Canada or the several slave rebellions (Nat Turners for example) or the fear the South had of Haiti bc of its successful Haitian revolt and so on

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

I fear they do not understand what heterodox means, which is pretty damning since "heterodox infrastructure" is the second-highest weighted category

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

The argument that law enforcement can shoot anyone with a gun who is protesting them is about as anti First and Second Amendment as it gets.

I'm taking a big risk watching the original trilogy with my four-day-old daughter. If she remembers the main twists, it's gonna really undercut any future viewings when she has the capacity to express complex emotions like shock

I want to announce again what should be a well established fact:

No. Old. Food. For. Thanksgiving.

We’re only eating food that was made the day of. Period.

I was under the impression that lower levels of corruption, longer life spans, lower infant mortality rates, higher economic development etc. in democracies were just by chance
