Staunch Liberalism is misunderstood. And I believe it’s really congressional to be a Staunch Liberal but that it also is a journey of accrued sense & understanding of it that should be taught better.

Everyone should be taught to read and understand the thoughts of The Enlightenment. Then we can come together as social + reasoned animals more often and with more good effect.

We can understand + improve our own conditions (scientifically) 🙏💕 #science #liberalism #ageofenlightenment

It's #Juneteenth, so here's an important lesson from @siderea connecting together the following 🧵s:

- the #SpanishReconquista,
- the #ProtestantReformation,
- the #AgeOfEnlightenment, +
- the #NewWorld ideologies they spawned.

This is our actual history. It has a through line which you definitely weren't taught in American schools. (Perhaps because once you learn about it, you can't unsee it.)
