  3. #RobertELee

    important to the "lost cause" narrative, romanticizing the #Confederacy

    blah blah blah... he was a #traitor to the #USA and fought for #slavery, and is only valued by #racists

    even with #MAGA and #Trump fighting it, we still remove statues trying to honor these turds

    on Tuesday, a statue of #Virginia #civilRights #activist #BarbaraRoseJohns replaced that of Robert E Lee in the #USCapitol

    as a teenager in 1951 she led a student strike for equal #education

  4. Good news from a few days ago:

    "Her 1951 walkout helped end school segregation. Now her statue is in the U.S. Capitol"

    npr.org/2025/12/16/nx-s1-56457

    "In 1951, a Black teenager led a walkout of her segregated Virginia high school. On Tuesday, her statue replaced that of a Confederate general in the U.S. Capitol."

    I know statues are only symbols, but with misinformation and outright lies from the current regime it's clear that symbols are important.

    YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5m to settle a suit brought by Donald Trump in 2021 that alleged the platform wrongly suspended his channel after the January 6 attack on the #USCapitol. The #Google subsidiary is the latest in a long string of tech companies to make a multimillion-dollar payout to the president over past decisions about his accounts.

  7. #Trump granted #pardons Thursday to 23 people who were #convicted of blocking access to #reproductive #health #clinics, fulfilling another campaign promise to reward political supporters who have run afoul of the #law. Trump announced the clemency grants in Oval Office signing ceremony on the eve of the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, days after pardoning more than 1,500 people accused of participating in the #Jan6, 202 #riot at the #USCapitol. #insurrection #reproductivehealth #maga

  8. Huh. Well that's different

    "Convicted #USCapitol rioter turns down Trump #pardon"

    "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation... I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative"

    Pamela Hemphill aka "#MAGA Granny"

    ...she saw the #Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that"

    #Jan6

  9. "The announcement comes 2 days after 4 members of an elite military unit were arrested and accused of planning to assassinate Mr. #Lula shortly before he took office in Jan 2023.
    When #Bolsonaro narrowly lost the vote, he declined to formally concede.
    Then, in an episode reminiscent of the #USCapitol attack, groups invaded and vandalized Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court & presidential offices just days after #Lula took office, hoping to provoke a military intervention."
