The many manifestations of racism — slavery, segregation, etc — were an integral part of not just African American history, but American history. Denying that reality and pretending racism wasn’t a serious problem is, in itself, racist.

While there was no major progressive challenger in the 2024 Dem primary, Dean Phillips was there. His basic, vague pitch was to be like Biden, who he said had been great, but without the age concerns. And no one would even go to his events. NH voters wrote in Biden. abcnews.go.com/amp/538/curi...

Casting a single vote for the better major candidate has a large positive net expected value for society, and you can very often tell who's a better candidate (especially this year!). Voting is humble, unselfish, and rational—a little chore that you should do. www.liberalcurrents.com/elections-ar...

"300,000... at the most" is a longstanding antisemitic conspiracy theory based upon a misreading of a 1979 Red Cross document that discusses 271,301 death certificates issued at 13 concentration camps. Nazi documents themselves show the vast majority killed were not issued death certificates.

My guess here is “they did it all by themselves” could be singular if referring to someone neutrally. Also, I am pretty annoyed that the patriarchy weaseled its way into our pronouns.
