FFS did the orange amoeba actually say that the Smithsonian focuses too much on "how bad slavery was"?

It is unconscionable that any human on our entire planet could think such a thing.

Everyday in every way I am thoroughly disgusted to my core by his abhorent, monsterous behaviour.

🧍‍♀️ 🕴️ The recent Air Canada strike triggered a conversation with a man who was shocked the fight attendants weren't paid for on the ground work time. I mentioned many female-dominated work areas are the same. He repeatedly insisted "in his ( limited) experience" that was not true.

After offering examples and hearing his repeated denial for said reasons I said lost patience and offered this reply:

"I am saying it is a lack of interest, not experience that is leading you to your conclusions.
It took me decades to learn this: Listening is not passive, it requires participation, including actively making an effort to seek out unfamiliar voices
Saying "it's not within my scope of experience" is a not a valid excuse for being ignorant about an issue.
People try to use the same excuse for not addressing issues like racism, LGBTQ+ rights, First Nations rights, etc...and how politics affects all that.

"I don't see it" and "I don't hear it"
means
"I choose not to see/hear."

"From clandestine #Shabbat dinners with chosen family in #DupontCircle in the 1950s to proudly marching in the world’s biggest #Pride celebration in 2025 under the #BetMishpachah banner, #LGBTQ #Jews are deeply intertwined in the queer history of #Washington. Despite their consistent presence in the fight for #equality, LGBTQ Jews have not, historically speaking, received their flowers."

This is one of the most thought-provoking books that I have read in years.

Ingrid Robeyns – ‘Limitarianism. The Case Against Extreme Wealth’

She argues that ‘there must be a cap on the amount of wealth any one person can have’.

She calls that: ‘limitarianism’.

www.penguin.co.ukLimitarianismWe all notice when the poor get poorer: when there are more rough sleepers and food bank queues start to grow. But if the rich become richer, there is nothing much to see in public and, for most of us, daily life doesn't change. Or at least, not immediately. In this game-changing intervention, leading philosopher and economist Ingrid Robeyns exposes the true extent of our wealth problem, which has spent the past fifty years silently spiralling out of control. In moral, political, economic, social, environmental and psychological terms, she shows, extreme wealth is not only unjustifiable but harmful to us all - the rich included. In place of our current system, Robeyns offers a breathtakingly clear alternative: limitarianism. The answer to so many of the problems posed by neoliberal capitalism - and the opportunity for a vastly better world - lies in placing a hard limit on the wealth that any one person can accumulate. Because nobody deserves to be a millionaire. Not even you.

🚨The #TrumpRegime intends to scale back US govt criticism of SLV, IL & RU, all with ext records of #abuse, leaked drafts of the St Dept’s #HumanRights reports indicate.

The leaked draft rpts underscore how the Trump regime is radically rethinking America’s role in global human rights advocacy.

As the US becomes less democratic, Trump & Rubio show their disdain for Americans, #Immigrants... by aligning with dictators on #Equality, #Rights...
