You can't understand 1776 if you don't understand 1619. July 4, 1776 when the colonists declared independence, 1/5 of the population of the 13 colonies was enslaved. They would not gain freedom for a century. This, too, is the 4th of July. This, too, is the story of America.

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

Last night, the GOP in our state House used a party-line vote to pass a 12-week abortion ban - in a bill that was made public less than 24 hours earlier.

They want to do this so fast that people don’t notice.

Let’s make sure that plan fails.

@danroyles Clint Smith’s How the Word is Passed is a great source on different public history sites that Smith visits and talks about public memory and slavery in the US. It’s a great on the ground discussion.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

When I was a little kid I thought being in the Senate was prestigious, a sign that you were smart and qualified to lead. What must young people think now?

What I’m asking is this: if I cook stuffing inside the turkey, is there a chance I could kill my guests? I'm not saying that's necessarily a deal-breaker.

[Josiah Bartlet @Pres_Bartlet]

Good afternoon, @butterball. First of all I’d like to say what a wonderful service you provide.

Stuffing should be stuffed inside the turkey, am I correct? Otherwise we'd have to call it something else, wouldn't we?
