Trump’s fascist cabinet picks and what will stop them

By Stephen Millies

Donald Trump’s cabinet picks are a declaration of war against the entire working class. These choices are a domestic version of the Pentagon’s “shock and awe” invasion tactics and are meant to smash any opposition.

Here’s a preliminary list of these bigots.

100 AMAZING FACTS ABOUT THE NEGRO - HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR.

100 AMAZING FACTS ABOUT THE NEGRO - HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR.

The first edition of Joel Augustus Rogers' now legendary 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro with Complete Proof, published in 1957, was billed as "A Negro 'Believe It or Not'". Rogers' little book was priceless because he was delivering enlightenment and pride, steeped in historical research, to a people too long starved on the lie that they were worth nothing. For African Americans of the Jim Crow era, Rogers' was their first black history teacher. But Rogers was not always shy about embellishing the "facts" and minimizing ambiguity; neither was he above shock journalism now and then.

With élan and erudition - and with winning enthusiasm - Henry Louis Gates Jr. gives us a corrective yet loving homage to Rogers' work. Relying on the latest scholarship, Gates leads us on a romp through African, diasporic, and African American history in question-and-answer format. Among the 100 questions: Who were Africa's first ambassadors to Europe? Who was the first black president in North America? Did Lincoln really free the slaves? Who was history's wealthiest person? What percentage of white Americans have recent African ancestry? Why did free black people living in the South before the end of the Civil War stay there? Who was the first black head of state in modern Western history? Where was the first Underground Railroad? Who was the first black American woman to be a self-made millionaire? Which black man made many of our favorite household products better?

Here is a surprising, inspiring, sometimes boldly mischievous - all the while highly instructive and entertaining - compendium of historical curiosities intended to illuminate the sheer complexity and diversity of being "Negro" in the world.

Erasmus Warren – Scientist of the Day

Erasmus Warren was a little-known rector of a parish in Worlington, Suffolk, in the late 17th century, birth and death dates unknown, who obtained a license to publish a book on Jan. 29, 1689, which was a good thing, otherwise we would not have a date on which to hang this post.
