i can't help but think about 10 or 11 years ago when conservatives insisted that obama was uniquely anti-catholic because his administration thought that catholic-led orgs could just fill out a form if they didn't want to cover contraceptives in their health plans for employees.

PRO TIP: If you want the Nobel Peace Prize, you might not wanna kidnap fathers, zip-tie kids, shoot priests, rip moms from carpool lines, and terrorize entire otherwise peaceful cities. 🖕 Oh yeah, and release the Epstein files.

The Republican Party has done a 180. Used to be “we want the federal government out of our lives”. Now? They are putting the federal government in our universities, corporate board room, libraries, museums, and local police departments., just to name a few.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Washington Post story: For years, a National Park Service webpage introduced the Underground Railroad with a large photograph of its most famous "conductor," Harriet Tubman. "The Underground Railroad - the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War — refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage," the page began.
Tubman's photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation" in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.
The introductory sentence is gone, too. It has been replaced by a line that makes no mention of slavery and that describes the Underground Railroad as "one of the most significant expressions of the American civil rights movement." The effort "bridged the divides of race," the page now says.

The executive order that President Donald Trump issued late last month directing the Smithsonian Institution to eliminate "divisive narratives" stirred fears that the president aimed to whitewash the stories the nation tells about itself.
But a Washington Post review of websites operated by the National Park Service - among the key agencies charged with the preservation of American history - found that edits on dozens of pages since Trump's inauguration have already softened descriptions of some of the most shameful moments of the nation's past.
Some were edited to remove references to slavery. On other pages, statements on the historic struggle of Black Americans for their rights were cut or softened, as were references to present-day echoes of racial division. The Post compared webpages as of late March to earlier versions preserved online by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
Changes in images, descriptions and even individual words have subtly reshaped the meaning of notable moments and key figures

The renaming, removing and replacing of Confederate symbols across the U.S. was never about erasing history – it's about being true to history. The Confederacy has no place in our communities – nor our U.S. military. Track symbols in your area 📲 #WhoseHeritage: www.splcenter.org/re...

Congress just passed a harmful funding bill that cuts billions from essential programs—hitting low-income families, people with disabilities, and seniors the hardest.

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

I didn’t vote for this. None of us did.

A graphic from Courier Newsroom with text reading, "The richest person on Earth will have an office inside the Trump White House, all while maintaining his ownership and direction of companies with billions of dollars in federal contracts." Below the text, Elon Musk sits on a chair between two flags, one American and the other representing a government seal, against a dark, smoky background.
