Links for 04/15/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The meme about exiling Churchill's bust is so easily believed by the right wing because they prejudge Obama - aka prejudice aka bigotry. How people feel about him on this meme is a good way to take their racist temperature.
Interesting stuff on Harriet Tubman. Rachel Maddow has a piece on how the $20 bill had significance at many times in her life, including the fact that she requested and received an increase in her Civil War military pension from $13 to $20.
The opposition to bailing out Puerto Rico is both corrupt and racist, as we seem to be riffing on that theme today. I still think PR should take the bill by the horns and start defaulting on the vulture capitalists.
