June 6, 1944
The Allies commence with the re-taking of the European continent from the Axis Powers.
Back when we understood that the only good Nazi was a dead Nazi.
It’s been moving, seeing the last of the WWII soldiers make their way over to Normandy for the D-Day celebrations. Watching the old soldiers being thanked by the new soldiers.
The imagery at the American cemetery of all those soldiers lost…all those white crosses. The simplicity of using the sand to bring out the names of the fallen soldier. All incredibly moving.

Byron Donalds is a propagandist foot soldier of the ⚪️ Nationalist Republican agenda to undo the progress of the Civil Rights movement. Invoking Jim Crow as a time of Black families being together and attacking the Great Society programs that were explicitly anti-poverty and to foster racial justice is not just stupid, it’s insidious. Grifters are trying to foster Black apathy and disillusionment so that the Ed Blums, MAGA judges, and Republican electeds can easily continue working to dismantle protections and programs that have irrefutably lead to racial progress.
