Some kids are told about it in school, and then that chapter ends and the lesson moves on and the kids forget about it. Beyond that, Americans have to actively seek out that information.

With Trump making moves to erase all evidence of the history I mentioned above, it's about to get a lot worse.

My sincere hope is that they're rescued before this goes too far. Is that Polly Anna? Probably. But I'm hanging onto that.

I am so sick of the persistent invention of bad ideas they're trying to make real. It's like they think of they can say whatever they want often enough and enough people will hear it, then suddenly it's a real fact.

Stop trying to make Fetch happen, Vance. It's never going to happen.

Yeah. The more I listen to older generations about the shit the US government pulled in the past, the more I realize that this shit happening now is kind of par for the course for good ole America.

Like. The government killed black protestors in the civil rights era. Outright killed. Right now, though deportation is awful, there are no deaths, yet, that we've heard of. And thousands of civil rights activists were jailed for peaceful protest, which is happening again.

And McCarthyism was the government targeting those that didn't agree with their desired economy, essentially political dissenters. People lost their jobs and more. So. The government ruining the lives of dissenters isn't new either.

And disabled individuals lost their humanity in the forced sterilization era, and innocent Japanese were forced into concentration camps. So the dehumanization of trans people has precedence.

Yall. America sucks.

Sounds like real, genuine community. Like a block party.

Fascism will be destroyed by tight communities, so this is a win.

Um. If the goal is to fix the environmental issues, wouldn't it be better to ask the local indigenous folk what the forest should look like? A monoculture of fruit trees isn't going to help the local flora and fauna recover. I'm fact, it will probably make the environmental issues worse.

YES, I'm so sick of this wording!! It hides how fucking awful the actions being taken are.

I wish they'd quit making up cutesy names for actual horrors. It's not a "Trumpsession," it's a fucking recession.

I understand that including his name ties him to the event, but too many people have a positive connotation with it, so they won't see the word recession, only his name.

I am not a fan of being around kids, but I love hearing about when child free people do! Humanity has always relied on adults caring for kids who are not their own. Looking at remaining hunter-gatherer societies, generally, everyone is every child's parent. Kids grow up healthier this way.

Go you!!
