This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life.
Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
Want the truth on Florida’s African American History Standards? See statement below from experts who crafted them.
“Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.”

This list is supposedly of enslaved people who "developed ... trades from which they benefitted" but nearly all of these people were either never enslaved, or never held the jobs described on the list.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_For…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_W…

Air pressure often causes pain in infant & toddler ears especially if they have an ear infection or are cutting teeth. There is no disciplining a toddler out of pain or panic. People assume this is a tantrum, and assign blame instead of remembering airplanes are public space

This is why I tell journalism students that open-ended questions are better than questions that sound tough. When conservatives first hijacked “woke,” every journalist should have asked them to define it. Cause these meltdowns would have happened a lot.
Crazy old tweet, but God damn this would make my heart sing.

The blowback this tweet is getting says it all. Fatphobia is real. And it is everywhere. By far the most common response is that fatness is uNhEaLtHy and puts a strain on the healthcare system. So, a brief thread.
