Do not tell me you are a proud American and are also a Republican.
You are not. You are a liar. They erased Harriet Tubman from an Underground Railroad NPS website. You know, the lady that would currently be on our $20 bill if Trump hadn’t stopped it from happening.
Hopefully they will update this with the audio. I only caught part of the story but yet another in our damning current history of a nation sliding towards economic collapse as well as a loss in valuing things that matter more than money.
I was waiting for this.
Ugh.
Fucking Ajit Pai is back and trying to kill our net freedoms, such as they are after his last pass.
Since our current leaders and literally trying to whitewash American history, it is incumbent of us to preserve what they are trying to hide. Here is a documentary made about the Navajo Code Talkers. I can’t find a direct link but will add if a viewing possibility appears online. Best I can get is a trailer.
In the same vein is the story of Choctaw Code Talkers, a video of which can be found here. You just need a library or university ID. You DO have a library card, yes?
Ya know, if we, as a country, has decided to not give in to bigots and fascists in 2016 (hell, 2015 if the Republicans had told him, “Nah, you can’t be a candidate”), we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.
That said, we can stop doing so at any time. Now would be good.
“The Best People” always seem to end up meaning autocrats and racists. Often both.
A few months into this shitshow (again!) but still good advice.
Florida, since working hard to deport those durned immigrant workers that support their economy, now need a new workforce to, um, support their economy.
And they found them! It is a bunch of teenagers. If you are 16, welcome to the workforce! If you are 14 and homeschooled? Welcome to the workforce!
I had jobs as a kid. It was kind of necessary for me, but it was part time work, and more or less my choice if I wanted gas money to run off to Chicago on the occasional weekend.
This seems different. Like 18th century different.
As always, Fuck the South.
It ain’t just politics going to shit. Here’s some technology trends that just plain suck.
The Air Force eventually put the course material back in circulation, but the fact remains that the military – who used to be at the forefront of our nation’s efforts towards that more perfect union – bent over immediately to comply with Republican racism. That is a bad sign movie forward.
Here is another story related to the incident, plus the video itself:
