Black and White people allowed in the same place at the same time.

Back in the day you could have clubs in Black neighborhoods that only allowed White patrons [look up the Cotton Club in Harlem, NYC]

Zero - The Biography of A dangerous Idea. Charles Seife

The Proud Tower, and The First Salute, Barbara Tuchman

The Proud Tower is about the rapid changes going on in the years leading up to WW1. The sad fact is that many people thought that a war might be a good way to slow things down and get back on track.

The First Salute. At some point, some nation had to recognise the American colonies as an actual country. The american Revolution from a different angle

You would have let the Nazis keep rolling, because the Birts and the Americans were racist, too.

Mamdani and AOC did it, in the strongest Democrat strong hold in the nation.

Who are you pushing in the primaries? How much have you sent to ActBlue?

You didn’t actually respond to the point, that you’re doing Trump’s job for him.

A lot of people didn’t vote last time because of the genocide in Gaza. Now we have a genocide in Gaza, an ongoing genocide in Ukraine, and new one in Venezuela, plus ICE killing folks here in the USA.

Trump is already talking about canceling the next election, and you want Progressives to stay home.

Sounds like you’re doing Trump’s job for him.

So, one party is actually killing people in the streets but ‘both sides are the same?’

If I were the GOP that’s exactly the message I’d be pushing.

Do you mean 'why do they look “humanoid?” ’

There’s a Dutch possession, Bonaire, right off the coast of Venezuela.

It’s only industry is tourism. I have to think that the Dutch don’t want any military operations going on in that area, and don’t want the US to blockade the island.

I once read a novel written around the time of the Kent State killings.

It was a potboiler thriller by a gunloving conservative writer, Donald Hamilton.

In it, a government assassin bemoans the sheer incompetence of the National Guard troops.

Enjoy

Also, the British freed colonial slaves.

George Washington himself lost some of his slaves to the British army

Here’s a quick start.

There was a TNG episode that said essentially that; there was a precursor species that ‘seeded’ humanoids across the Galaxy.

My favorite time travel novel is “The Big Time” by Fritz Leiber.

Two alien races, the Snakes and the Spiders, have been waging war since the Big Bang and will continue fighting until the heat death of the Universe. In a small Rest + Recreation center a group of humans from all times [plus a few aliens] try to deal with the biggest conflict imaginable…

iirc it was NYC 8 mllion and Sweden 7.5 million. No idea what her source was.
