Perspective: The U.S. has existed 249 yrs. For 189 of them, it had slavery or segregation. That’s 76% of its history. If you start from 1619… It’s 346 of 406 yrs… About 85%. Isn’t ignoring such a massive portion of Americas past “erasing history”?

Imagine actually saying you don’t want your country to be bilingual
@MargoinWNC I do not want my country to be bilingual, a nation that can't speak the same language is already balkanized

It’s truly frightening how many Americans are salivating for the National Guard and the Feds to take over their streets. Fascism is being welcomed and applauded

Shaw v Reno and Miller v Johnson have entered the chat. You can’t redraw lines based primarily on race. It would have to pass strict scrutiny which this case doesn’t. @beatmastermatt
Abbott: What we want to do is to draw districts that give those hispanics and African-Americans in the state of Texas the ability to elect their candidate of choice. Tapper: You're doing this to give Trump and Republicans in the house five additional seats, right? I mean, that's

Authoritarianism: When “protect and serve” quietly turns into “obey and enforce” …history says that never ends well.

Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.

That’s a powerful signal to send to your students. The board would rather mitigate backlash from conservatives and turn a blind eye to reality of what trans students face rather than hold them up and say “we’re with you no matter what.” @tmorello

To clarify. I believe this case fits within the Hazelwood standard, thus schools have the right to censor school speeches. But the right to do so and the right thing to do are 2 different things. The board chose to side with anti-lgbtq bigotry rather than stand with a student…

The @CumberlandCoSch Board’s censorship of trans valedictorian Gray Byrd’s speech is an attack on free expression. Barring him from addressing trans struggles while allowing other community references exposes their bias. Students have a right to inspire their communities…
'We won't be silenced': Cumberland County School Board attorney censors transgender valedictorian's high school graduation speech. The district said "political or social statements" aren't allowed in graduation speeches. (Via WUNC) https://t.co/XFLfwpW2bs

Saying the GOP is the party of Lincoln is like saying your grandma’s rotary phone is the same as an iPhone because they both make calls

Charles Aycock, card-carrying white supremacist who penned odes to "the negro problem," still has a statue smirking at the NC Capitol. Honoring racists in 2025? Bold choice, North Carolina. Maybe swap it for a monument to progress instead? #NCHistory #Yawn
