@princess_kim_k He’s got a lot of nerve. He and Leonard Leo and their ilk are the real threat. ✌🏽🙏🏽

@archeohistories My sister has the picture of my grandfather who was born into slavery in 1860. I was born in 1952; he died in 1945 so I never met him but my older siblings remember him. This goes to show that slavery was not that long ago.

106 year-old William Casby holding his great-great-granddaughter. He was born into slavery in Danville, Virginia in 1857, worked as a longshoreman, and lived to be 113, photograph by Richard Avedon, 1963....
Casby was born into slavery in 1857 in Danville, Virginia, just four years before the Civil War began. Emancipated as a child after 1865, he came of age during Reconstruction and later worked as a longshoreman. By the time this photograph was taken, he had witnessed slavery, the Civil War’s aftermath, Jim Crow segregation, two World Wars, and the early years of the Civil Rights Movement.
Avedon photographed Casby as part of a series documenting people who had been born into slavery, creating minimalist portraits against stark white backgrounds to focus entirely on the subject’s presence and expression. The image is both intimate and monumental, the elder’s weathered face beside the softness of new life.
Casby reportedly lived to be 113.
When Casby was born, James Buchanan was president and Abraham Lincoln had not yet been elected, yet he lived long enough to see the presidency of John F. Kennedy and the dawn of the modern civil rights era.

Oyster shuckers in South Carolina, 1912 — Josie (6), Bertha (6), and Sophie (10) starting work at 4 AM in the Maggioni Canning Co.”
This photograph, taken in 1912, by
Lewis Hine; shows three young girls working in the Maggioni Canning Company along the South Carolina coast. Oyster canneries relied heavily on child labor, particularly in the winter months when oysters were harvested. Workers often began their shifts around 3 or 4 a.m., arriving before sunrise to start shucking while the catch was still fresh.
Josie, Bertha, and Sophie were among thousands of children employed in seafood-processing industry. Shucking oysters was difficult, dangerous work: the shells were sharp, the knives crude, and infections were common. Children stood for hours in unheated sheds, hands numb from cold brine, paid only a few cents per bucket shucked. Many families depended on every child’s income to survive, especially in impoverished coastal communities where steady work was scarce.
This photo was documented by Lewis Hine, an investigative photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), often posing as an insurance inspector to gain access to workplaces. His investigative work exposed the harsh realities of child labor in America. His powerful images stirred public outrage and were instrumental in advocating for and eventually achieving stricter child labor laws in the U.S.
By 1910, an estimated two million American children were working in mines, mills, factories, and canneries — some starting as young as five years old. Hine’s photographs were a major reason federal child labor laws were finally passed.

@TravisANorwood @archeohistories My husband started working at 5 yo in North Carolina picking crops, from blueberries to tobacco. He was able to go to school because his parents knew that was the only way to a better life. At 72, those days still haunt him. The expression on these faces is heartbreaking✌🏽🙏🏽

@archeohistories At least they had jobs and they weren't forced to work, it was their parent's choice, and it was legal back then to work at that age if you so choose. I'd say this article is trying to paint a picture that history was so bad when it wasn't. People were nicer and more innocent.

@AlBuffalo2nite @Victorshi2020 My gay son isn’t destroying the nuclear family but a whole lot of other things are; poverty, mental health unavailability, lack of housing, being poorly educated. I could go on. What you spew, 2nite, is racist homophobic ignorance that’s been peddled forever. Let’s do better✌🏽🙏🏽

Pete Buttigieg is no “masterclass”… he’s a mascot for the cultural rot that’s destroying the Black nuclear family.
While you prop up this deviant pretending two men can breastfeed babies… Black boys are dying without fathers… Black girls are trafficked while their mothers chase checks… and Black families are shattered by the very Democrats you worship.
What Pete represents isn’t brilliance…. it’s the breakdown of order, of creation, of common sense.
He’s the trophy for a society that’s traded masculinity for mediocrity… and truth for tolerance of perversion.
You and your ilk cheer for him because he’s palatable to the academic elite… but to working-class fathers, to faith-filled families, to children who need a mom and a dad….
He’s not a leader… he’s a lie.
Keep praising the circus, Victor.
We’ll be over here… rebuilding what your idols destroyed.

Whew. I have never seen a more brutal takedown of Trump’s cabinet than Pete Buttigieg here. No academic, high-brow rhetoric. Just simple, vivid language that everyone can understand & get behind. A masterclass from Pete. Watch this.

Let’s just take a moment to thank @DonaldJTrumpJr for his clear eyed, and steadfast determination to get answers with Epstein. He says to ask ourselves DAILY what SCUM would be against disclosure and truth? Hmmm….

@krassenstein It’s time for Canada to accept their destiny:
The future of Canada is America, our rightful and delightful 51st State.

@DustyJohnson SD cares more about your friendship with Liz Chaney than they care about the Bill you voted for that will eliminate their health insurance,food assistance,make the rich much richer,and bloat the deficit,even if their state is below the poverty line. So I guess you lose Rusty✌🏽🙏🏽
