Actually, forced sterilization is part of American history, and you don't need to go back to the 30s to find examples of it.

There were federally-funded eugenic programs that targeted Native American, Puerto Rican, Black, and poor women for decades. https://twitter.com/debramessing/status/1305639202034462721

Especially when it comes to history we don't have an education system, we have an indoctrination system. We're given years of lessons in American Mythology & trained to believe the most important thing to remember is the date it happened instead of why it happened & what it means

I know I already RT'd this, but it's one of the most mind-blowing stories I've read in ages. Big Oil lied to us about plastic's recyclability. They knew that both a burning planet AND a plastic-filled ocean would result from their actions.

I’m hearing too much “recycle, compost, go vegan!” and not enough “100 corporations cause 71% of emissions”

Real "looting" is when Congress steals your money without your consent and hands it to weapons and oil corporations while you can't afford to see a doctor during a pandemic without bankrupting your entire family.

Biden could probably win 3 million new votes overnight being like “ok legalize weed and zero out student debt!” even if he didn’t mean it, but instead he’s chasing 7 undecided white 66 year olds in Michigan who want an oppressive police state run by a nicer guy.

The thing you have to understand about America is that anyone who grew up there, grew up being fed propaganda that most of us took at face value. That sounds like an extreme position, but it's the literal truth.
