Today is Thomas Jefferson's birthday

But I hate Thomas Jefferson a lot. We don't actually know Sally Heming's birthday although we know the year was around 1773, so I'm just going to take today to honor her. Imagine, just for a second, if she lived in the modern age. She could've had a good life. She could've had a childhood without rape and pedophiles and endless work. She could've had a family, a real good one. Instead, she was born into slavery and had a horrible life. She was only a quarter black. She had relatively straight black hair. Looks like she might've had brown eyes. Take a moment to honor her. Her brother, James, too. He was an amazing chef who actually invented macaroni and cheese. Just take a moment, to honor every slave who never got a good life because of their SKIN.

No no no no no. John Adams was 300% way too good for Thomas Jefferson. I don't even know how good a man John Adams was, but I can say with confidence he was definitely too good for that sociopathic hypocrite monster Jefferson, may he rot in hell.

while frustrating, the funniest response to historical erasure of same sex couples is people wildly overcorrecting and assuming any interaction between two men in history was a secret homosexual relationship covered up by Big Historian. i saw someone on r/sapphoandherfriend sincerely ask if Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were lovers.

A new civics training program for public school teachers in Florida says it is a “misconception” that “the founders desired strict separation of church and state,” the Washington Post reports. Driving the news: That and other content in a state-sponsored training course has raised eyebrows among some who have participated and felt it was omitting unflattering information about the country's founders, pushing inaccuracies and centering religious ideas, per the Post. The Constitution explicitly bars the government from “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Scholars interpret the passage to require a separation of church and state, per the Post. In another example, the training states that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were against slavery, while omitting the fact that each owned enslaved people.

Florida training program: "Misconception" that founders wanted separation of church and state

So ... DeSantis and his Fascist supporters want to just straight up lie to generations of children about the history of American violence, oppression, racism, and they are using the law to do that.

I’m speechless. I haven’t finished my coffee yet, and it’s early, but ... holy fuck. I am speechless.
