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.

Coloradans do not want politicians making their healthcare decisions. We will continue to choose freedom, stand against government control over our bodies, and will not retreat to an archaic era where the powerful few controlled the freedoms over our bodies and health decisions.
Today was a humbling experience for me. I had the privilege and honor to participate in Centennial Elementary School’s Food Distribution effort, made possible by Care and Share and Crossfire Ministries.
Kim Noyes, and the Centennial Nutrition team & volunteers, are true heroes.
@BarackObama Mr. President, only seven years old during the period that you speak of; I vividly remember my elders at the time saying, “it won’t be like this always”. I have been blessed to see the progress that has been. I pray that young, honorable leaders like you continue to lead the way.
@rainnwilson This brings back some sad memories for me...to think that even now, this deeply seated stereotypical wrong attitude is still being cultivated by some, is mind boggling to me.
