@coleens_ One of America’s many sins that was never punished properly. They should have hung the entire Confederate government, then all but 10% of the slaveholders. The remaining slaveholders should have been made to rebuild Richmond after it burned, and then send Sherman back every year on the anniversary to burn it down and make them rebuild it over and over.
Strong examples send strong messages.
@klord yep that’s them.

I want to gush about the dumbest thing for a minute.

I subscribe to @molly0xfff 's newsletter thing. And while the news often is a bit concerning, the format is A++++ perfection.

The newsletter comes to my inbox in its entirety. There are references and links, and NONE OF THEM ARE TRACKING LINKS. (well okay, there are two links that are technically trackers, they are the 'more like this' and 'less like this'...it's hard to make some kind of newsletter customization without knowing who clicked the link). But all the rest of the links are just plain links. To plain URLs. Like what we used to have back in the '90s. Remember those halcyon days when readers weren't the product?

I read the whole newsletter every time one comes out, in part because I don't have to 'click here to read more'.

I'm sure it's a little concerning to run a publication this way in the modern era ("are people even reading this?" is probably a real concern. Well hey, at least I do...).

Anyway, if you're able to support her, I do recommend it. Well researched news, worth every penny for the ad-free experience.
