Today, an essay, on how I felt to discover the Founders were not as had been portrayed, nor much else wholly truthful about American history. Also, how I recovered from that disillusionment, my eyes still on the prize of the promise of America. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/independence?sd=pf
Independence

Today, a personal essay. When I was little, my Ba would bring out fireworks for the Fourth of July. He acquired them in places like Maryland, where our family would go summer camping on the state beaches, and brought them across state lines to our little suburban enclave in upstate New York. As soon as it was dark enough out, many of our neighbors would gather, the area kids eager to see what Mr. Kuo had in store that year. Sparklers for sure. Sometimes big noisemakers. And always more than a few showstopper rockets with brilliant flourishes of color. He would hand them out to us to dole out to the other children without a thought to liability.

Love how the f*cking Republicans are all, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!”

But when it comes to their Cheeto Jesus going to the slammer, they turn into far left prison abolitionists

Today I learned "Transmogrification" is an actual word with roots in the 17th century and not just a gag in a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon.
The College Board Strips Down Its A.P. Curriculum for African American Studies

The official course looks different from a previous draft: No more critical race theory, and the study of contemporary topics — like Black Lives Matter — is optional.

Because, like Republicans, I believe that running a household’s budget is the same as running a nation, I’ve informed my credit card companies and the bank that holds my mortgage that I’m simply not raising my debt ceiling and will not be paying them. I’m sure this will be fine.
