  1. Imagine the U.S. is #celebrating its 250th anniversary, and #NorthCarolina would rather celebrate the enemy instead.

    The booth had monitors showing the current North Carolina flag, but it also had a flag split between the current one and the #Confederate #flag.

  2. #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump , the worst #POTUS in #American #history , essentially had a #TrumpRally at #FortBragg in #NorthCarolina. Selected attendees cheered when he boasted about changing its name *back* after it had been renamed #FortLiberty by the #JoeBiden administration. Trump didn’t mention that the new namesake is unknown Roland, not original Braxton Bragg!

  4. #DougWilson Has Spent Decades Pushing for a #Christian #Theocracy. In #Trump’s DC, the #NewRight Is Listening.

    #DougWilson has built a #theocratic regime in Moscow, Idaho, where men rule and biblical teachings guide everything. Now he’s taking the model national, with a receptive crowd in the #GOP.

    Excerpt: "Wilson has spent much of his career outside the conservative mainstream, which has distanced itself from his frank defense of theocracy, his ultra-#patriarchal views on gender relations and his reactionary stances on race and 'the war between the states,' as he still calls the #CivilWar. (On the 'About' page of his blog, Wilson describes his politics as 'slightly to the right' of the #Confederate general Jeb Stuart.) Online, Wilson has cultivated a punk-rock aesthetic designed to foster his reputation as the 'based' intellectual bad boy of American #evangelicalism: In a promotional video posted at the height of the conservative backlash to '#woke' media companies in 2023, Wilson used a skull-and-crossbones-emblazoned flamethrower to torch oversized cardboard cutouts of various Disney princesses and social media companies, all while puffing on a fat cigar."

  9. Back in my Twitter days, I befriended a guy online from Georgia.
    We were both interested in the military and #military #history. One day he sends me this link & suggested we both try to make #hardtack, a common food #ration for both #Union & #Confederate armies. The original recipe lived up to its reputation, hard as a rock.
    Later we came up with different methods of making them to be more palatable.

    Read the link if interested.

  10. #DonaldTheDeplorable speaking to an audience (screened for loyalty to #Trump over the #UnitedStates ) at #FortBragg in #NorthCarolina speaking about renaming #military facilities named after treasonous #Confederate Generals: “We won a lot of battles out of those forts.”

    On the “Late Show”, #StephenColbert joked “Yes, ’cuz when you think winning, you think Robert E. Lee,”

    And for #NFL #football fans: “Same reason we just named our new battleship the USS New York Jets.” huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ste

  12. #Florida students are giving up Saturdays to learn #BlackHistory lessons their schools don’t teach

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — "Buried among Florida’s manicured golf courses and sprawling suburbs are the artifacts of its slave-holding past: the long-lost cemeteries of enslaved people, the statutes of #Confederate soldiers that still stand watch over town squares, the old #plantations turned into modern subdivisions that bear the same name. But many students aren’t learning that kind of Black history in Florida classrooms.

    "In an old wooden bungalow in Delray Beach, Charlene Farrington and her staff gather groups of teenagers on Saturday mornings to teach them lessons she worries that public schools won’t provide. They talk about #SouthFlorida’s #Caribbean roots, the state’s dark history of #lynchings, how #segregation still shapes the landscape and how #grassroots #activists mobilized the #CivilRights Movement to upend generations of oppression.

    [...]

    "When Sulaya Williams’ eldest child started school, she couldn’t find the comprehensive instruction she wanted for him in their area. So in 2016, she launched her own organization to teach Black history in community settings.

    "'We wanted to make sure that our children knew our stories, to be able to pass down to their children,' Williams said.

    "Williams now has a contract to teach Saturday school at a public #library in Fort Lauderdale, and her 12-year-old daughter Addah Gordon invites her classmates to join her.

    "'It feels like I’m really learning my culture. Like I’m learning what my ancestors did,' Addah said. 'And most people don’t know what they did.'"

  14. I should have realized (late 1800's origin, #Atlanta headquarters) that #CocaCola was created by an ex-#Confederate #soldier.

    He ripped off a #French #recipe for #Mariani #wine.

    That's the least repugnant aspect of #Coke's history considering their leadership in buying #politicians and justifying the #pollution of #plastic #bottles while passing all the costs of (unsuccessful) #recycling on to #taxpayers rather than continue the successful glass #bottle #deposit system
