One of historian Heather Cox Richardson's best Letters from an American today where she shows that NOT prosecuting politically challenging criminals is bad for the country.

#ProLife - y’all are nothing more than #Confederates 🤷‍♀️

And way to change the subject from the grief Americans feel, by abusing the same people you refuse to help, by taking away their representation.

Congrats, Republicans, to change the subject from the lives you could have saved by working with Democrats years ago, for peaceful and reasonable gun safety solutions, y’all just proved CRT.

#FuckYourCivilWar 🕊️🇺🇸

Smug, entitled, narcissistic, abusive fools like #PatFallon have no business in leadership, and to hell with their #god. Their cruel character is opposed to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Evil
is not a strong enough word for these #Confederates.

Regarding South Carolina’s #ProLife “values”: what happened to that rich white guy in SC who murdered his wife and kid?

So murder just gets you life in prison if you’re a man, but a miscarriage might get you the death penalty in SC.

I see. #Confederates #Nazis

3/4 After the #CivilWar , the entire family went to #Brazil. There was a large movement of disenfranchised #Confederates who tried to start a colony there. Some stayed, and some (like my ancestors) eventually came back to the USA. The ones who stayed became known as #Confederados .

There is a diary by one of the teenage girls who went with the migrants, Julia Keyes. Her story is amazing in what she endured and how they built the settlement.

But it's also very sad, in that every mention of local Black people gives them no name, no personality. Whereas her white friends are named every time, and you get to know them. It showed me the mindset that allowed to #slavery-- Black people were just scenery, no more important than a horse pulling a cart.😥

In an even more wide-ranging revelation of problematic tributes on government property:

"As part of a year-long investigation into #Congress’s relationship with #slavery, The Washington Post analyzed more than 400 artworks in the U.S. Capitol building, from the Crypt to the ceiling of the #Capitol Rotunda, and found that one-third honor #enslavers or #Confederates. Another six honor possible enslavers — people whose slaveholding status is in dispute"

#histodons 2/n

#Congress is so broken it can’t even remove artwork that honors #enslavers and #confederates. And shame on Rep. James Clyburn, one of the most senior African-Americans in Congress, for not even responding to a request to comment on this article.

My opinion is that the USA 🇺🇸 screwed up after the Civil War by not rounding up and deporting the #Confederates to their ancestral homelands. Instead, we let them weasel their way back into the fabric of America and create havoc. #opinion

I just finished watching Will Smith’s #Emancipation on #AppleTV . The #movie left me with a feeling emptiness. As we all know very well the #struggle of #BlackPeople around the world and in the #US against pure #hate is far from over. The #haters never left. We are noticing how the #confederates are able to rise back up and we simply can’t let that happen.
They need to be #squashed in no uncertain terms. I’m not #naive this is not a movie - I know what it might mean.
