LANGUAGE: It’s enslaved persons, not “slaves”. We are people who were ENslaved. When you say “enslaved”, you make clear that someone else did this to us. When you say “slave” you speak the language and mindset of the people who did this to us. This is important. It is not semantics. #history #language #enslavedpeople #Black #Mastodon #words
Today the U.S. House passed (225-201) the $1.7 trillion omnibus budget spending bill for FY 2023 which began in October. Govt shutdown averted. Here is the 4,126 page omnibus spending bill. #politics #Mastodon https://bit.ly/3vaVT9t

LIGHTNING STRIKE was the most-borrowed book in Hennepin County this year! What else made the list? Find out here: https://www.hclib.org/about/news/2022/December/most-borrowed-books-of-2022
@ASlavitt Social media will survive. Ownerships have not figured out long term sustainable models and insist on breaking things. They succeed at breaking the "my spaces."
We are now building "our spaces."
Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony continues to light the Jan. 6 investigation ablaze, this time over suborning perjury. Lawyers reading the transcripts have their mouths agape. Here's why.

We are told that we are divided.
We could be.
We could not be.
We are.
Or we are not.
Or we are not as divided as we are led to believe.
My question is: if we are indeed divided, who is doing the dividing?
BREAKING: Here is the 845-page final report on the January 6, 2021 terrorist attack, *just* released by the Jan 6 Cmte. https://bit.ly/3jjOfqt #JAN6 #January6thCommittee #Mastodon #politics
@popcornreel The link is to Cassidy Hutchinson testimony, not the final report.
This report was brought to you by YOU. If you the voter had not voted for a Democratic House in 2018 and 2020 and Senate—this report wouldn’t exist. VOTE. https://bit.ly/3BVjYoh #JAN6 #January6thCommittee #politics #USA
After reading Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, it's hard not to conclude that Mark Meadows is in deep legal doodoo. I know that's not a legal term, but it's apt.
The question is, with so much exposure, will Meadows flip on Trump? Perhaps he has already. We haven't heard much from him at all for some time now.
Please remember to block accounts that spout foolishness. Trolls must be muted, blocked and ignored.
Like Malcolm X, Nina Simone was a passionate activist and dedicated to the Black liberation struggle. She posed in this photo very intentionally as an homage to Malcolm. 🖤🙏🏿 #BlackFriday #BlackMastodon #Mastodon
@popcornreel Lots to read.
New Cassidy Hutchinson transcripts were released and are good reading if you want to understand why so many stonewalled.
Who held a minor government position, but yet impacted the Watergate hearings? You have to admire someone who researches Alexander Butterfield prior to testifying. #jan6cmte
