Volunteer | Kamala Harris for President

“He was a conman, a liar, a rapist, a racist bastard, a make-believe candidate running for two reasons only. He was running for his own glory and to stay out of prison. Nowhere did the welfare of the American people figure in his calculations.”

American History textbook, 2035

President Biden was not only the first president in history to walk a picket line (as he did in Michigan), he also appointed Vice President Harris to chair the first White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment.

@mimarek1 Everybody knows that Jim Crow laws were supported and enforced by the legal system, with courts upholding laws that explicitly denied Black people their rights and privileges as citizens. Studying CRT allows us to examine the ways in which the legal system has been used to perpetuate this racial inequality.
No wonder they ban it!

@mimarek1 and What does CRT do with Jim Crow laws? Is this allowed to be taught in Florida? ~sigh~

Jim Crow Laws: Definition, Facts & Timeline | HISTORY

Jim Crow laws were state and local statutes that legalized racial segregation. Enacted after the Civil War, the laws denied equal opportunity to Black citizens.

@mimarek1 Good point. Teach how racism was managed in this country. Is that CRT?Laws were enacted for slaveholders so they could conduct their business. Laws were created so a racially divided society could be organized for law abiding citizens. Pretty simple concept. Many people just want to keep their heads down and follow the laws. Those laws unjust or not were created with racial divisions in mind. Is that so hard to understand? ~sigh~
@Brandi_Buchman Not only are you a great writer but your reporting is excellent as well. I look forward to the time when I could say “I knew her when…”
All the best to you…
@paulineloven stunning!
@iquitoz The amount spilled was “enough to fill an Olympic size pool”.
Which is about 660,000 gallons… which is 15,714.3 barrels of oil. So… a lot to spill in one area. What a mess. Can it ever be cleaned up? No wonder there were protests to stop keystone pipeline in fragile areas.
