1. I just watched a long and very painful program about the Reconstruction Era, specifically regarding the "black lists" that were issued against literate, educated black men and women. Historically, black people were not allowed to read, write, or even own a book because of

2. anti-literacy laws. Anti-literacy laws made it illegal for enslaved and free people of color to read or write. I knew nothing about these lists, which gave license to the Klan and other hate groups to hunt and kill at will. I knew the Reconstruction was a very difficult

3. period, but I had no idea about how dangerous it really was. It made me make the connections about today's hate groups (police, for example), and how they seem to have been given the same permission to mimic the hate groups of the late 1860s. It made me make the connection

@Sen_JoeManchin

1. I was told i was too hard on @Sen_JoeManchin. Really?
A. 12 weeks paid family/med leave. GONE. It's now 4 weeks. Better bond quickly to your newborn.
B. Permanent extension of child tax credit. GONE. You get ONE year
C. Universal pre-K for 3 and 4 yr olds stays IN but (more)

2. those kids better get super well educated because free Comm. College is OUT. But don't worry! They're making it way more affordable. A liw income sturnt could get a Pell grant for ~$6k, but no more. They're giving these students $500. Yay!
D. Vision, dental, hearing (more)

3. being added to Medicare, OUTTA THERE. But again, don't worry, they're going to give you an $800 voucher for dental. You KNOW it's good because it's a voucher (more)

1. You never learn, do you. You knew nothing about tbe Holocaust because you can't read, you ended up getting in a nasty jam, and we were forced to listen to your teary eyed apology. A thoughtful person might have learned something. But not Majorly Traitor Greene

2. Nope, you've done it again. For those of us who read, there are easily attainable historic records, such as diaries and letters, that serve as factual historical record. Since the truth has never been important to you, you just ignore them, and make up your own story

3. Christopher Columbus was a monstrous individual 4who traded in, enslaved, raped, tortured and killed young indigenous girls. Genocide was among his favorite past times. In 1492, there were about 300k residents of Hispaniola-Dominican Republic and Haiti-no Marjorie, not the USA

1. Saw a new client saturday. 1st appt. Male, 50s, white. I like to chat for 15 mins or so to get a read. After he's good and warmed up, he says "get this!" as if I were a compatriot. He goes on and on about his neighbors raising their 6 year old boy as a girl. Oh no, I think...

2. After 15 minutes, i told him that I was going to refer him to a colleague of mine instead. He became defensive, and asked why. I thought a bit, wanting to frame this just right. I asked him, "do you believe that a 6 year old is sexually aware, or understands gender complexity?

3. "No, of course not", he said. "Then think about this. When this tortured child is crying uncontrollably, confused and scared, asking WHY he has a male body when he's really a girl, do you not think you may want to pay attention?" He squirmed and finally said," I should have

You're going to be hearing that the Socialist Progressives are gumming up the works, preventing the infrastructure bill from passing. Thats only partially true, and ill try and be brief.

2. 2 bills. One crap, the bipartisan 1.5TR bill, stripped away the climate change, extended child credits, free 2 years community college, dental and eye inclusions to medicare. All the good stuff, which we all need.

3. Second bill, Biden's vision, 3.5TR OVER 10 YEARS, still has all the good stuff in it. joe manchin is heavily invested in dirty coal, and last year made over $500k. His salary is $174k. krysten sinema is deeply in bed with big pharma snd others. Last night,she attended a

Do NOT be fooled if you hear that the Progressives are balling up the works. The bipartisan bill, which is nothing more than a corporate handout, allowing privatization of corporate industry. This means no regulation. No upgrading resources for optimal function. TX saw how well

2. that worked, remember that? The bill has been stripped of ANY tax increase on the richest corps and people in the country. None of the climate change issues are in the bill. So here's how this works: If the bipartisan crap bill passes the house and senate BEFORE the good bill

3. goes to vote, it will die, because the thugs will have gotten what they wanted, providing zero incentive to even vote on the good bill. So the progressive caucus is saying, "not a chance. If we don't see the good bill pass the senate FIRST, we have the votes to block the crap
