History repeating. Washington Press

Where are the pro-lifers? Newsweek

We all know the pro life movement is full of shit. They only care abt controlling wm. They don’t care abt the children. Because if u were a real prolife advocate u would b completely disgusted

Holy fucking shit, this is actually happening. 

In casey’all think America is still a sort of “we figured ourselves out” country. this is 2018. this is now. people actually voted for this son of a bitch. the next time someone tells you “everyone knows about hitler and the holocaust that’s obviously not going to happen again” fucking shove this up their asses.

This is absolutely fucking disgusting.

I remember when so many people told me “Don’t worry, he’s not going to be like Hitler. People are just exaggerating. It won’t be so bad.” 

Everyone who told me that can eat a fucking dick.

This Day in History: Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United Sates. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Happy Juneteenth, Tumblr 🖤

The Book of Names lists each person murdered at Auschwitz

#and you have to remember how many names are most likely missing#from rushed trains and burned lists#from rushed transports and people who died on the death marchs#what about the names from people who died after their liberation#and then…#this is only Auschwitz#this was the biggest camp yes#but just one of many#and then remember sobibor and belsec#and try not to feel sick

This is why we punch Nazis. This is why this vile ideology must be stamped out viciously every time it tries to come out of its hole.

Never. Again.

Trump won’t stop tearing up official papers so the White House archives employ a staff to tape them back together for the National Archives

Trump is notorious for his “filing system”: when he is finished with a
piece of paper, he tears it into tiny pieces and throws it away, which
is fine if you’re a CEO (maybe), but is radioactively illegal under the
Presidential Records Act, because the President works for the public,
and is required by law to archive their official papers and save them
for public scrutiny.

White House staffers gave up on trying to explain this to Trump, who
just kept on tearing up everything, from official letters from Senators
to letters from constituents to notes and other paperwork.

The staffers – paid nearly $70,000 year – ended up with full-time jobs
retrieving scraps of paper from Trump’s trash-can and piecing them back
together with clear tape so they can be filed in the National Archives.
Some of these staffers were eventually fired; they’ve spoken to
Politico about their year in the Trump administration as paper-tapers.

i can’t tell if he’s gone completely off his nut or is just being a giant infant like usual. either way, it’s clear he doesn’t think any rules apply to him ever.

And the folks that told the press about their tape chore both lost their jobs because His Eternal Hissy Fit didn’t like them talking about it.

Seriously, though, Æthelflæd. Certified badass historical lady.

She was born in the 9th century in Wessex, a kingdom of Anglo Saxon England. She was the daughter of Alfred the Great, and he probably made sure she got a first class education as educations went back then (he was a bit of a rebel with the whole “reading” and “writing” thing–it wasn’t usual even for kings at that time to do that). 

She hated being pregnant/giving birth so after her first daughter she refused to have sex with her husband so it would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN like way to be seriously fucking independent in a way that would probably get you looked at funny even TODAY, but she did it in the 9th fucking century. BADASS.

She basically shoved her husband aside in military matters because she was way better at it. NO DON’T WORRY ÆTHELRED HONEY I GOT THIS.

When he died, she took over as “Lady of the Mercians.” And this was NOT FUCKING DONE. She grew up in Wessex where they were so terrified of powerful women that Alfred’s biographer wrote that they refused to even give the title of queen to the wives of their kings. 

So now she’s Lady of the Mercians, and she spends the rest of her life building forts and fucking up Vikings like the bamf she is–her legacy being that England might not have held off total Viking rule without her.

So, yeah. Æthelflæd.

The SAT was created by a noted racist and anti-immigrant activist who had previously written difficult, biased exams intended to prevent immigrants from becoming citizens. Happy test day!!

source, and the full text of his work that was later used to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment and prove the superiority of the “Nordic” race.

specifically jewish immigrants who were too smart and filling up the ivy leagues http://m.dailykos.com/story/2014/03/19/1285854/-The-SAT-s-Anti-Semitic-Roots
