@ABC Ridiculous! Let’s pick out another gulf or piece of land, that we do not own, and name it Trump-something. He’s an out of control nutcase, and so is our government what caves to his every whim. 🤦♀️
BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in rage as American hero Harriet Tubman is finally awarded the rank of One-Star Brigadier General in the Maryland National Guard.
And it gets so much better...
"Today we celebrate one of the greatest authors of the American story," said Maryland's Democratic Governor Wes Moore at a Veterans Day ceremony. Dozens of veterans and generals attended the event at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park.
The historic bestowing of rank comes roughly 160 years after Harriet Tubman bravely led Union troops as they raided Combahee Ferry in South Carolina — resulting in the freeing of over 700 slaves.
In addition to being an abolitionist, Tubman served in the Union Army as a nurse and later as a spy and scout.
Not surprisingly, Trump supporters are flooding social media with their rage, insisting that Tubman doesn't deserve her new rank. As usual, the motivation is pure unadulterated racism.
At a time when America's future seems uncertain and racist forces are once again ascendent in our political landscape, it's important that we remember heroes like Tubman. Her belief in a better future should inspire us to fight for the same.
