    From the article …

    Sgt. William Carney, a member of the 54th Massachusetts Colored Infantry Regiment, was the first Black American to earn the Medal of Honor.

      We’ve had a malignant cancer for centuries that suddenly came out of remission.

      It’s called The South.

      The same things that’re wrong with everywhere else, but all mixed up with each other and compacted into a smaller area.

      Hooray for the melting pot.

      Murdoch-infected right-wing nutters went all pandemic on us with the help of Cambridge Analytica and technofascist oligarchs.

    Would love to hear what Denzel Washington would say about this.

      Why do we need history?

      It’s being erased and rewritten in front of our eyes.

      And what’s being done about it?

      Pumpkin McFascist will deliver another speech about how he has eliminated censorship from government and brought back free speech and the ministry of truth will applaud his absolute 100% honesty.

      Truth is whatever the party says it is at the time they say it is until it is inconvenient.

      Since fucking high school, and that’s 15 years ago. I have held firm that I do not support the military, but I do support the soldiers.

      The men and women who actually serve have my respect. The institution and its leadership do not.
