W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Receiving word that Senate Majority Leader John Thune has ordered Capitol Hill Police to collect a urine sample from Cory Booker to ensure that Booker’s record-breaking performance was not aided by PEDs.

Racist-ass Strom Thurmond’s “voice dropped to a mumble and his tone became monotonous” less than 12 hours in. Senator Booker still booming and enunciating after 24 hours. They were playing against plumbers and mechanics in the Senate back in the day

The fact that we as a society are still capable of producing art this beautiful gives me actual hope for the future. The fascists can never do something like this.
