I am 55 years old.
America is the only country I've ever known.
And I love my country.

When I was in school, I learned about the horrors of slavery. Sure, it was a limited education, but I totally got the gist of it.

We learned how people were taken from Africa, and how many DIED during the journey here, forced to labor in hot fields while being whipped, raped, deprived of education, and murdered.

In fact, when I was young, there was a mini-series on TV called Roots that depicted the brutality of slavery in horrifyingly explicit detail.

And then I did my OWN research, reading more books and watching more documentaries and movies.

But somehow, I was able to maintain my love of America. Despite all of the cruelty and brutality I had learned about, I was somehow able to figure out that the people alive in America today had NOTHING TO DO with slavery 200 years ago.

Somehow, I can still say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the Star Spangled Banner, no problem.

But dishonest fascists like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Ron DeSantis want to deprive American children of the knowledge of slavery, and African American studies because they say it's "propaganda leftist agenda" designed to teach kids to “hate America.”

That's a preposterous lie.

There are PLENTY of evils and horrors America is responsible for, and if you don't teach kids what happened in the past they may be DOOMED to repeat those horrors in the future.

Today's kids are being asked to treat as normal these "shooter drills" where the possibility of being shot with bullets that make them unrecognizable is a very real possibility, but we think they can't handle learning the truth about what happened 200 years ago?

If you ask me, those of us who learned the truth about America, and STILL love our country, are even more patriotic than those who are trying to whitewash it and hide the truth from kids.

Don't minimize it.
Don't rationalize it, with bullshit like "oh, it wasn't all bad because some people learned skills."

RESPECT THESE KIDS.
TELL THEM THE TRUTH.

I’m so sorry you had to go out this way, RIP twitter.

Millennials have been talking about this for the past 15 years while Fox News called us snowflakes and made fun of people who had to live with their parents but I’m glad they’re suddenly taking it so seriously 🙄

@SydDivineTarot My mom is a Leo sun, Taurus moon, Scorpio rising, very Plutonian & fixed. My dad’s a Leo sun, Sag moon, and unknown rising- with a LOT of suppressed water (like 66% of his chart)

My lil mutable watery self didn’t know how to deal lol it was so eye opening to learn astrology

[Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald]

...through today-if you won't teach it, then *you* hate America. You cant change history & claim you love the country. It's only though facing what we were that we can see how we got here & where we still have to go.

And that seems to scare conservatives more than anything.

This is Tim Wise with 6 1/2 minutes of one of the greatest history lessons I ever learned.
Back in 2014 when Eric Garner was murdered I went out on the streets with some friends to show support. Then the next year Sandra Bland made headlines and I started paying attention. Tim's speeches really opened up my eyes to the history of this country, and how we are still operating to this day.

But he sure does know how to write lyrics for the ignorant bigoted “small town” kinda crowd…

(Absolutely disgusted, as someone with a lot more personal experience in that close minded setting. Population 1,003.)

[Kendall Brown @kendallybrown]

Just a reminder that Jason Aldean grew up in a city (population approx. 160,000) and now lives in Nashville, TN (population 692,000).

He has no idea what “happens in a small town”, he’s just a racist who writes barely concealed lynching songs.

The medical industrial complex will gladly let you die for profit (or gladly keep you alive with no quality of life- also for profit.)

Firsthand witness, once paid to follow their orders as such.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

Today my brother made a video about how the patent on a drug for Tuberculosis should be expiring, but that Johnson and Johnson is extending with a legal loophole for four extra years.

As a result, experts estimate that six million people will die.

I am stunned at @benandjerrys post about Land Back and returning the Black Hills. Usually even the most “progressive” brands will only offer lukewarm land acknowledgments and stop there. Seeing a company this big tell the real truth using this language evokes so many emotions.

@theashleyray Paired with some truly unhinged expectations of others. Being & believing different isn’t cool there.

Eating disorders, and other mental health concerns, are rampant in the Midwest.

@theashleyray Small town indiana, & no.
We had a grandma that if we went awhile without seeing, she would grab our belly fat & comment how much we’d gained... as did my PCP when I was 15. (I was at most 155lbs)

The pressure to be perfect was still there, just none of the *healthy* education.
