*at least 6 of his own children
We need to stop mythologizing the founding fathers or we're going to keep repeating this cycle of giving racist, rapist, pedophiles power in our government.
Thomas Jefferson was a pedophile and rapist who enslaved human beings, including 6 of his own children.
Sally Hemings, Eston's mother, deserved so much better. She was between 14 and 16 the first time Jefferson raped her. He was in his 40s.
Eston Hemings looked like Thomas Jefferson. We know from DNA testing that this wouldn't be surprising given that Eston was Jefferson's son.
So why were people surprised by the resemblance when they visited Monticello?
Because Eston was enslaved by Jefferson.
Hello Senator Curtis,
My message is three points:
1. Trump must testify
2. Evidence that Trump is a pedophile is growing
3. We DO NOT forget pedophile protectors
Sincerely, Amanda Roos
Time to send more mail to my two Senators, my Representative, and the governor.
Update: In the mid-1990's this serial perpetrator was quietly excommunicated by Mormon leadership. No law enforcement was informed. He was allowed to participate in worship and fellowship with parents of young children and all the children in his local congregation left none the wiser.
What I think they really mean when they make that argument is, I won't be able to force people to work FOR ME.
Exmormons are not your enemy. We are people who have valuable stories and experiences to share about why the church was a cult in our experience.
Hey Mormons! Just a reminder that having a group tell you what underwear you're allowed to wear is very culty. Highly recommend learning more about cults and how they work.
It's also very culty to demonize people who leave the group.
This only helps if you have a job. We need UBI.
Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.
If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.
If you didn't like it? They took you out.
Breaking Epstein Investigation Update! NM DOJ has begun searching Zorro Ranch. โฌ๏ธ
My message to my representatives today:
1. Evidence that Trump is a pedophile is growing.
2. He needs to testify under oath.
3. Failure to force Trump to testify protects pedophiles.
4. We do not forget pedophile protectors.
Contact your reps!
We do not forget pedophile protectors.
The United States Congress needs to act.
Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein are well-documented. Congress has the power to put him under oath and demand the truth.
No one is above accountability.
The people who were abused deserve justice.
The public deserves the truth.
Thomas Jefferson was a rapist, pedophile, and enslaved human beings.
Real history matters. Mythologizing the founding fathers is culty.

"Rhetoric does not constrain presidential power. Constitutional checks and balances do. It is...the erosion of these critical checks and balances โ most notably Congressional oversight โ that has allowed recent presidents of both parties to wield military force with little meaningful restraint."
Trump must testify.
We can't afford war or billionaires.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Bondi's hearing date has not been set yet, but don't forget that Kristi Noem 's hearing got her fired!
The Congressional hearings are making a difference!
More Epstein files were released after Pam Bondi was subpoenaed by a bi-partisan Congressional committee on March 4. Now she knows she will be held accountable for NOT releasing files.

This is in relation to HB 242
Utah legislature was up to shenanigans last night making it harder to remove signatures from the Prop 4 Repeal. We should contact our reps to let them know that's not ok.
It's time to give a damn and get up and get out there. Do the work even without immediate pay off. Even though it's hard and doesn't feel like it's working.
It does help. It does matter. And it does need to be done BY US.
