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.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump would sign a national abortion ban and restrict access to contraception if given the chance.
That is what’s at stake in November.
We will stop him.
BREAKING: Pope Francis sounds a dire warning about democracy as MAGA-type fascism grows in strength around the world — and specifically warns against dangerous "populists."
Right-wingers are throwing a fit over this one...
"It is evident that democracy is not in good health in today’s world," said Francis, head of the Catholic Church, during a visit to northern Italy.
"Indifference is a cancer of democracy. I am concerned about the small number of people who went to vote. Why is it happening?" said Francis.
The pope compared democracy to a "wounded heart" that is vulnerable to dangerous corruption. He also explained that true democracy isn't just about voting, it's about ensuring that all people can participate.
The pope urged voters to reject "ideological temptations and populists" and embrace better cooperation.
"Ideologies are seductive. Some people compare them to the Pied Piper of Hamelin: they seduce but lead you to deny yourself," said the pope, seemingly referring to the fascism that is gaining popularity in the Republican Party and parts of Europe.
He encouraged voters to "move away from polarizations that impoverish.
While Francis didn't mention Donald Trump by name, MAGA fans are interpreting it as a direct attack. Conservatives already disliked this pope because they believe that he's "too liberal."
Sorry Trumpers, the truth hurts. You're on the wrong side of history.

I'm getting pretty sick and fucking tired of the media playing this stupid game asking why is President Biden running for reelection.
1. He's the sitting President.
2. He's having a VERY successful first term.
3. Presidents usually run for reelection.
4. He handily beat the GOP frontrunner.
How about stop trying to kneecap Biden, and get after the guy with 91 felony charges who says he will be a dictator on day one and he'll go after people in the media critical of him?
You all might be interested in a horse race for ratings, but we're not. You did this bullshit in 2016.
This is not a game.
STOP IT.
BREAKING: President Biden scores a huge foreign policy win as he finally convinces Israel to allow humanitarian aid to flow across the border from Egypt into Gaza — giving relief to the embattled, starving, thirsty Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the lifesaving decision was made because Biden, who is currently in Tel Aviv, specifically requested that it be allowed.
Netanyahu vowed that his military "will not thwart" the much-needed shipments of food, water, and medicine as long as they are delivered directly to civilians.
Prior to this decision, the aid was waiting at Egypt's Rafah border crossing into Gaza but Israeli airstrikes were preventing it from crossing over.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Biden — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
DAMN! Many people are saying that trump HATES this extremely unflattering picture of the back of his fat head in a New York courtroom.
Be a real shame if everyone reposted this and spread it like wildfire all over the internet.
Real shame. 😏
BOOM! Ted Lieu just DESTROYED Jim Jordan for threatening to investigate Alvin Bragg for bringing charges against Trump:
“Prosecutors, including DA Bragg, owe you nothing. In fact, it is illegal for you and Judiciary GOP to interfere in an ongoing…criminal trial.”
Crucially, Ted Lieu here is insinuating Jim Jordan and the GOP judiciary Committee would commit criminal obstruction of justice.
Thank you Rep. Lieu for calling it like it is!
BREAKING: Michael Moore, who correctly predicted Trump would win in 2016 says for the midterms, DEMOCRATS will turnout a "tsunami of voters — and nonviolently, legally, and without mercy remove every last stinking traitor to our Democracy." I hope he's right!
