Books I feel every American should read. Go beyond high school level history and learn the real, dirty history of America. If you have more recommendations for me, I’d love to hear them! #realAmericanhistory #educateyourself #beyondhighschool #readtolearnthetruth

Don’t mess with @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Hoods are too cumbersome? #realAmericanhistory
Noticing this across the board with various agencies, and remembering my days in Iraq. Those police and soldiers who wore masks were considered cowards and suspects in extrajudicial action. Cant help but believe those doing it now in the US are complicit in crimes.
Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

Michael Harriot's 'Black AF History' could hardly come at a better time
This engaging, well-researched, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny history places the Black experience at center stage with stories that should have already been part of our collective memory.

AAMP in Philadelphia is also vaut le voyage, not least because you'll see Colonial America in literal living color. And the temporary exhibitions are always stellar. #realAmericanhistory
