Welcome to Litsy!

#wdncw #realhistory I don‘t know who needs to hear this or be reminded but slavery was bad. There should be no debating about this. Talking about it is not “woke.” It was a pure evil system. If you‘re on the side of saying it wasn‘t that bad you‘re either a N—i or White Suprem@cist. You clearly need to re-evaluate your understanding of history. Denying the telling of people‘s history/experiences doesn‘t mean it didn‘t happen.

I always thought Michael Schiavo was a bit of a scheve, and a piece of shit right up to the end. But I never thought he had anything to do with Terri's collapse. I think differently now.

Overall, it was an interesting read that I'm glad I came across at a library book sale last year.

56/80

Such a gorgeous morning for outdoor reading.

Good July 4th thoughts, I think. ❤️‍🩹

Even if we could set aside the rampant disinformation influencing the current regime‘s justification for ripping the guts out of federal government agencies (which is a very big “if” to take into account), it just doesn‘t make sense to do it the way they‘re doing it. As we‘ve already seen, they fired people they really shouldn‘t have fired.

True budgetary and policy analysis takes weeks if not months to accomplish properly. #longtimefed #psrw

This book spells out Trumps Russia and Putin connections for decades leading up to his winning the election in 2016. It also brings to light the infiltration of Russia into many aspects of the Republican Party and on a lesser scale into the Democratic Party. Trump is joined at the hip to Putin. Just as Victor Orban is. Russia is a huge factor in American and European politics. Deeply depressing and well documented book.

Schweikart bases his arguments on the assumption that pre-college students are actually interested in history and that they have enough grasp of language to process implicit bias.

More than half the “lies” are the most random things that were marginally, if ever, in any textbooks I had.

What I appreciate about this book is the window it has given me to fallacious conservative arguments.

Bro should chill on the exclamation points!!
