If you are RE-SEGREGATING the federal workforce and supporting efforts to segregate streetcars and ban interracial marriage in DC, that's an indication that perhaps you're more racist than many of the people of your time (which was, again, the 20th century, not the 19th)
Princeton should absolutely take Woodrow Wilson's name off buildings, I will even help
One more thing: the NAACP endorsed Wilson in 1912. Wilson then helped resegregate the federal workforce and said when getting rightfully screamed at by black organizations that segregation was meant to 'reduce friction.'
"It is as far as possible from being a movement against the Negroes. I sincerely believe it to be in their interest."
Woodrow Wilson: trash.
I'm working hard on tweeting less but man I would drop the people's elbow on Woodrow Wilson right here and now and I think it's important to say that publicly

Counterpoint: Woodrow Wilson sucked about as hard as it is possible to suck, his version of "progressivism" was garbage, and his racism was abhorrent to people of his own time (as was slavery in the century prior). He resegregated the federal workforce! nationalreview.com/2021/10/rise-o…
Seriously, what are we even doing here, why is "oh he was a PROGRESSIVE" supposed to be a key argument here
Woodrow Wilson was a trash person and a trash president! The only thing that should be named for Woodrow Wilson should be actual trash bags!
Republicans want to regulate social media companies. Democrats want to regulate social media companies. They want to regulate social media companies in different ways, but they both want to regulate social media companies.
I see the argument that Republicans want *less* moderation (and want to force social media companies to bend the knee), which is both true... reason.com/2021/03/19/gov…
Also, Section 230 applies to all sites that contain third-party (as in your) content and permits any of those sites to edit/moderate user content and users as they see fit.
This op-ed gets at this a little bit while also engaging in some mindbending stupidity (what are "common-sense rules of decency"?) wsj.com/articles/small…
I'm reminded that some people express ire at Twitter not because people get banned, but because the *wrong* people get banned.
Peter is the Rock of the Church, Peter also denied Christ three times, once to a child, and also witnessed the freaking Transfiguration and responded with "this is a real estate opportunity!" And that's SAINT PETER, for heaven's sake.
(I will never get over Peter going from "I'm gonna cut off that guy's ear!" to "I don't know her" in like four hours.)
If you're a fitness influencer the last six hours of your life have been extraordinarily challenging. No one's getting influenced on here. These are the dark places.
No swipe-through HIIT circuits over here. No inspo. Just wolves.
No one here even cares about a bench arch, nor would they be willing to fight over one for months on end and comment on old photos to demand you explain why you bench with an arch, not one person here
