So. Doing research for a project and found Andrew Jackson believed an aryan race predating Native Americans ruled the American continent before being overthrown, thus justifying their genocide and giving the impetus to Manifest Destiny.

Fun. Sunday.
Jackson, in his State of the Nation in 1830 defends his removal of Native Americans by referring to an ancient race they supposedly overthrew, thus giving white Americans claim to the rest of the continent.
I'm finding so much in my research for this project that is just devastating and this one is...it's up there.

In order to fix this country we're going to have to trim defense spending. We have to stop talking about it in terms of limiting defense though. The money we spend is for contractors. The military goes on the record all the time saying they don't need everything being bought. 1/
We're not paying to make people safer, which is what always happens when we talk budget. Military spending is a huge redistribution of wealth that makes contractors and corporations richer. It doesn't necessarily lead to safety. 2/
These people hide behind national security, but there are plenty of projects that are producing military weapons and projects that nobody wants but the people producing them. 3/

It appears that a printed, full version of the Mueller Report will be available in book form March 26th, meaning we will be getting the Russian Collusion investigation results within the next three weeks.
This is an actual PR email to a bookseller. It appears to be legit. I've heard from multiple people now they were approached by people they believed to be publishing representatives about a Mueller Report being printed March 26th.
There's a lot of confusion right now, but this is consistent with what the beginnings of a pressed rollout would look like. The people printing these have announced them.

We need to start having large, important, and honest conversations about how education isn't just about job and career training but is a necessary component of preparing people to distinguish between what is real and what is fake in order to make informed political decisions. 1/
The debate about education has been largely framed in regard to "student success" which is a malleable code word that has little to do with student success and everything to do with the business-ification of education. But there's something much, much more important here. 2/
We talk constantly about the fake news crisis. The fake new crisis isn't about media, it's about education. It's about the lack of preparation people have for looking at sources and documents and determining their authority. 3/

Instead of Black Friday shopping, how about helping this teacher in a low-income SF school that just got its budget cut by $170K and lost its learning specialist get some basic classroom supplies? She asking for pencils and gluesticks ffs: donorschoose.org/project/our-sc…
You can also pick another school to give to, sort by region, grade, type of request...lot of low-income schools in cold areas just trying to get their kids coats. @DonorsChoose donorschoose.org
You guys, we're about half way there. If you can spare even $10, that buys a lot of pencils. donorschoose.org/project/our-sc…

In honor of #CincodeMayo, here are some things you may not have known about Afro-Mexican history.
While the bulk of enslaved Africans ended up in South America+Caribbean (more than 4 million sent to Brazil alone), around 200K enslaved Africans were imported into what is now Mexico between the 1520s and 1829 #CincoDeMayo
Gaspar Yanga is a national hero. He was a former enslaved African who became “El Primer Libertador de las Américas” (the first liberator of the Americas). Yanga was brought to the Spanish colony in the 1500s and worked on a sugar plantation in Veracruz, Mexico. #CincoDeMayo

1/ Manu (The progenitor of Humankind)
All different races of Mankind are derived from Manu and Shradha. The current Manu is Vaivasvata Manu.
2/ The word Manu literary means man but it is a title given to the progenitor of mankind. According to Hindu Puranas there are many kalpas (One day of Lord Brahma the creator) and each Kalpa has 14 manvantara and each manvatara has one manu. So basically each Kalpa has 14 Manus.
3/ The current manu of the present manvantara is Shraddhadeva or Vaivasvata Manu of this current Kalpa. He is the son of Vivasvat (Probably Surya) and is therefore also known as Manu-vaivasvata.
