Weaponizing the Department of Justice. Lashing out at the rest of the world. Stumbling into a shutdown. The wheels are coming off the Trump train — and he knows it. Let's discuss it all on today's Klatch. https://youtu.be/NmWZs9bXMio

And whether or not they owned 1 or 300 slaves, THEY OWNED PEOPLE AND PUT THEM TO WORK UNTIL THEY DIED.

Let's talk about the spreading myth that during chattel slavery, only 2% of white people purported to own enslaved people. And no, it's not just conservatives spreading this. It's white "Leftists" too. Suffice to say, 1 in 3 families in the Confederacy "owned" enslaved people. ONE. IN. THREE.

Sadly, the brutal underground sport of kitten fighting continues to go on unabated, and remains criminally unreported.

Facts

#OtD 27 Sep 1936 1000 uniformed fascist Blackshirts led by Oswald Mosley in Leeds, UK, were confronted by 30,000 anti-fascist locals who attacked them, pelted them with stones, hitting Mosley, and drowned out speeches by singing The Red Flag stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9965...

Well if that's the case, our Prime Minister better NEVER allow that rapist convict, which if he were a regular Joe, he wouldn't be allowed in our country due to his record, to enter our country. We didn't want him here, we don't want him here, and he better not be allowed to come back here. Savage

I arrived at a CVS to pick up my prescriptions and was faced with a screen to "check in" for my prescription F^ck that folks The 85 YO man behind me looked even more perplexed This is taking it rather a bridge too far don't you think And on cooking instructions? Buy a cook book. Go old school

It's incredible any of us are doing any creative work, really. I think the more I do this, the more aware I am of the work it takes to get from a start to a finish. When I was younger, having written only a few books, I could totally delude myself about how much work was ahead.
