She can say she wasn’t raped, but I hope she now has a better understanding that a teen intern being sexually coerced and given drugs and performing sexual acts on multiple older men while JFK watches DOES count as rape and that this was horrible.
FUCK JFK 🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕🖕🖕
Has anybody told Monica Lewinsky that she’s not alone?

FDR’s views on race weren’t subtle. He invited several white American competitors to the White House after the 1936 Olympics. But not four-time gold medalist Jesse Owens.
Even worse, in his famous New Deal, FDR’s housing component specifically embedded “Black Codes” that promoted discrimination against Black people. Black neighborhoods got coded as being unsuitable for new mortgages.
The New Deal also excluded Southern agriculture, which was Black Southerners’ main vocation at the time. And he made sure that Southern whites got to administer handing out relief to people impacted by the Great Depression. Wanna take a stab at who was left out of that relief?
As a result of the racism baked into FDR’s New Deal, Black Americans endured the impact of the Great Depression long after the 1930s, while the white middle class exploded in size.
FDR bears responsibility for continuing generational poverty for many Black Americans.

The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt by Edward F. O'Keefe #BookReview #NetGalley #ARCReview #Biography #Presidents
A forthcoming book on Theodore Roosevelt examines the influence of five women in his life and how they helped shape his presidency. #BookReview #ARCReview #womenshistory #presidentialhistory #NewBooks #SimonandSchuster #TheodoreRoosevelt #AliceRoosevelt
A spirited and poignant family love story, revealing how an icon of rugged American masculinity was profoundly shaped by the women in his life, especially his mother, sisters, and wives. Theodore Roosevelt wrote in his senior thesis for Harvard in 1880 that women ought to be paid equal to men and have the option of keeping their maiden names upon marriage. It’s little surprise he’d be a…

The Travalanche Hall of Presidents
Happy Presidents Day! Young people may not know this, but ostensibly this is not a day for ALL the Presidents, just Washington and Lincoln. We used to celebrate them each as separate holidays but they got smooshed together in order to accommodate the addition of Martin Luther King Day to the calendar in 1986. It’s an awkward pairing — you’d think a better match would be Lincoln and King, for many…

Psychopath Presidents 
By Jeremy Dean, Psyblog (Jan 3, 2023)
Theodore Roosevelt and JFK top the list of US presidents with the highest ‘positive’ psychopathic tendencies.
Two Roosevelts, JFK and Reagan top the list of most psychopathic presidents, research finds.
Of the 42 presidents up to and including George W. Bush, here are the top 10 according to a study by Lilienfeld et al. (2012):
https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2012-19403-001?doi=1 (Stiudy)
Theodore Roosevelt (1.462)
John F. Kennedy (1.408)
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1.079)
Ronald Reagan (.912)
Rutherford B. Hayes (.824)
Zachary Taylor (.671)
Bill Clinton (.569)
Martin Van Buren (.554)
Andrew Jackson (.516)
George W. Bush (.391)
The higher the scores in brackets, the higher their psychopathic tendencies.

I am now on presidential biography #11. James K. Polk followed John Tyler and preceded Zachary Taylor, and if all three of them are just names you barely remember from U.S. history, you're not alone. Borneman begins and ends this biography of the 11th president by arguing that Polk was in fact one of the GOATs. He supports this with polls of historians, beginning with Arthur Schlesinger, who consistently rank Polk among the top ten U.S. presidents. This might be surprising considering who he typically shares the list with: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, etc. Those are A-list presidents, while Polk is just another early 19th century dude who warmed the Oval Office chair before Lincoln. But Borneman makes a convincing case that, by the criteria by which a president's effectiveness is measured, Polk was actually pretty darn effective. That didn't make him particularly interesting, though. Walter Borneman, a historian, tries with Polk: The Man Who Transformed the Presidency and America, and I came away from this book more educated and largely agreeing with the arguments Borneman makes about Polk's significance, but still... Polk was no Washington or Lincoln, or even a Johnson.
