On this day - Jul 24, 1972
Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment Exposed by Washington Star Newspaper

On July 24, 1972, the Washington Star newspaper in Washington, D.C., published an article exposing details of an ongoing syphilis experiment that withheld diagnosis information and treatment from Black men in Alabama in order to study the effects of the disease. The article incited public outrage over the unethical treatment of participants, leading to the experiment’s termination later that year.

The Only Two Buckets are Democracy & Autocracy
What’s unique now is one of our political parties — the Republican Party — has fully embraced autocratic governance and is doing everything it can to stop “will of the majority” Democracy
   
Thom Hartmann
Jul 19

Ted Cruz has compared President Biden and the people in his administration working to stop Covid to “Nazi stormtroopers.” Republicans in his state are trying to ban any mention of Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. from their schools’ textbooks and give Republicans the power to challenge and even reject votes they don’t like in future elections. What is going on here?

There are a lot of words thrown around these days, from democracy and republic to fascist, socialist, communist, theocrat, oligarchy, white supremacist, liberal, conservative, autocracy and dozens of others. But they all fall into one of two buckets.

Those two buckets are democracy and autocracy.

I do not have a problem with what she said.  I have a problem with what the GOP is doing and what Abbott said.

Fauci is tired of Rand Paul, and I am too.  Fauci dealt with Trump.  As aggravating as he is, Paul may not be as irritating as Trump is when Trump is your boss.  So Fauci can take on the senator easier than he could Trump.

When we really think about it, they are republicans.  We should not be surprised.  The republican party is the White party of the south.

Slight Correction:

The republican party is the White party of the south nation.

I will state the obvious.  He is a problem.

Sen. Joe Manchin, key Democratic holdout on federal voting protections, coming to Texas for fundraiser hosted by several GOP donors

The fundraiser comes just a day after Manchin met with Texas House Democrats on Capitol Hill who are desperate for his support of the congressional efforts which could preempt the statewide GOP’s push to pass bills that would restrict voting access for Texans.
