Query:

what proportion of living Americans have inherited more than $100,000, or $500,000 that originated with wealth derived from slavery?

How does that transfer of wealth map to political identity and geographic location?

Does anyone have a reference or primary source data?
It's a shame that Adam Goodheart at @washcoll doesn't have a twitter account. We could really use some more learned historians around here - to proviede truthful answers to questions about slavery and political dynamics around the civil war...

Note: above is untitled, for some reason - it's the proportion of households per state that owned slaves.

This is the overall proportion in all slave-owning states. Image
You'll note that as the population moves westward, more families have slaves. Curious to know if that's because there were larger plantations that were acquired via prior slavery-derived wealth, or if there were more slaves on smaller farms.
There are bigger issues to address here, for sure - I wrote them up, but I'm not ready to talk about those publicly yet... if there are any researchers out there who would be interested in discussing a couple of future directions, I'd be game.

Did you know that the murder of a federal officer in Oakland, CA and the burning down of the 3rd precinct in MN were a coordinated operation?

And that Facebook was used to facilitate nationwide coordination of a terrorist action?
And the Boi who helped burn down the 3rd precinct in Minneapolis was working with partners who were providing arms to Hamas?

I’d been holding this back publicly, but since Chanel ‘broke the seal,’

This whole Russian disinfo op isn’t just about emails - it’s about pushing Qanon.
That computer was undoubtedly seeded with child sexual abuse material to support the Q narrative... 1/
I fear it was more than just emails that the Russians put on the fake Hunter Biden computer, and that info about images will be released over the next two weeks to prop up the Qanon narrative - in part, b/c it's RU’s standard operating procedure (can someone else outline this?)
And in part because of the apparent involvement of Joshua Wilson in the analysis of the hard drive, an FBI special agent involved in the Innocent Images initiative since 2007 - Signature on court docs matches this: justice.gov/archive/usao/n…

Somebody should ask Ms. Coney Barrett:

If the right to life extends from fertilization to 'natural' death...

is a preventable death from COVID19 considered to be a "natural" death?

given distribution of PPE + resources was based on political considerations, not need...
there is clearly human intervention assisting the survival of some over the survival of others, solely based upon the political leanings of neighbors in the state in which they reside.
For comparison's sake, let's say there are 25 premature infants born in one day in a single, isolated, rural hospital with only 5 NICU beds, and 11 more beds without the full complement of equipment that MIGHT be used successfully for those closer to term.

Something Mike Lee just said made me wonder: if someone with a medical condition encounters an elected official who is about to vote to take away their health care, which will result in their death 2 weeks later - are they justified in using deadly force to prevent it?
And - crazy fact: in Florida, it seems you can preemptively kill someone to prevent them from committing an act of treason....

So long as you are someplace you have the legal right to be.

This is not legal advice - just a possible interpretation...
And Ms. Coney Barrett said that THE PEOPLE's understanding of the law as written is what matters in originalist parsing of the law, rather than the legislator's intent...

that's kind of weird, no?

Trump thinks he can play Superman?

Let's take a look.
You see, superman doesn't like Nazis and Fascists.

In fact, you might say he was Anti-Fascist.

"Pizzagate" did not begin until 11/4/2016.

Prior to 11/4, it was "Spirit cooking."

If anyone can prove me wrong, with earlier tweets or 4chan posts referencing "pizzagate" in context (not just sporadic pizza references), please do.
Meanwhile, the data that was still available in early 2017 showed the first unambiguous mention of "Pizzagate" in a political context was 11/4.

The first unambiguous tweet I know of has since been removed, will post the screencap if I can find it.

Should you care to understand a reason why...
