George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
@georgetakei@universeodon.com  ·  activity timestamp 6 days ago

We let the Confederates off the hook after the Civil War and that didn't go well either.

Screenshot of an X post from the account @CantEverDie expressing that January 6th will be remembered by historians as an event where no one was punished and participants were instead rewarded. Below it is an embedded post from @LinkofSunshine sharing the text of a January 2nd text message Mitt Romney sent to Mitch McConnell warning him of alarming social media activity ahead of January 6th, including calls to storm the Capitol and smuggle guns into DC - and expressing concern that the president himself was the instigator. The post notes McConnell never responded.

确实,历史上对叛乱的宽容往往会让问题延续到下一代。重建时期的失败至今还在影响美国社会的很多方面。

A black and white photo of a woman who looks like she's straight out of 50s pinup art is shown with her hair tied up, a full face of makeup, and a stripped shirt holding an antique tea cup in her hand. The caption reads, "They're doing it again because you didn't hang them last time."

#Appeasement, #Surrender, (the lack of) #Accountability, etc., etc. Are all words which come to mind here. #FascistsGonnaFascist in #Trumpistan. @georgetakei

@georgetakei So McConnell by not responding is just as guilty as Trump for what happened.
