Oh, it gets better, guys. The Amnesty Bill is not just for farm workers. It includes all meat and poultry workers, logging, aquaculture, and equine management. 50 REPUBLICANS ARE SUPPORTING THIS.

The government claimed she rammed Border Patrol agents with her vehicle before an agent shot her five times. But new bodycam video shows the agent turned his steering wheel toward Marimar Martinez and that he was congratulated for "excellent service" after shooting her.

Yes, Lee fought on behalf of the Confederacy. It's also true that Lee was a key figure during reconciliation. The nation was fragile, some southerners wanted to wage guerrilla war, others didn't know how they'd ever reconcile with the North. But Lee understood it was crucial to make sure the war didn’t keep tearing the country apart. Lee encouraged southerns to move past the confederacy, to work towards peace and reconciliation. “It to be the duty of every one to unite in the restoration of the country, and the reestablishment of peace & harmony.” Many confederates felt humiliated and didn't want to surrender. Lee convinced them it was time to go home and rebuild. Colonel J. Stoddard Johnston later said after talking with Lee: “Great as I had held him as a military chieftain, my admiration of him in this trying hour . . . was even grander than when I had seen him at the head of invincible legions.” Lee understood that conflict and bloodshed could return at any moment, so did the North. Having capable leaders on both sides to temp down the tension was CRUCIAL to reconciliation/reconstruction. We don’t remember historical figures because they were morally perfect. If that were the standard, we’d have to tear down half the monuments in America. Lee is undeniably consequential and his role in reconciliation was, in fact, important for the nation at such a delicate time.

At 4:30am on a night in December 2020, I recorded the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue from the U.S. Capitol. Today, he'll be replaced by Barbara Rose Johns, who led a protest of conditions in her all-Black school in Farmville that eventually helped end segregation in America.

We lost Rob and Michele Reiner less than 24 hours ago. This is how Trump responded. Heartless.
