      Here’s a recent list of lynchings in America. Many are deemed “a suicide”. https://newsone.com/playlist/black-people-lynched-recent-years/

      So this shirt is just suicide awareness in that case.

        The parts after the war. I got my timeline backward. He was a big advocate of the ethnic cleansing of the Sioux, and other tribes, in which he participated to a limited extent.

        No debate about destroying the infrastructure that was upholding slavery. If anything, I think the slaves should have gotten all the assets of their former masters and the US should have gone through with reconstruction.

        We would not. Those slaver dynasties needed to end. Their culture–the culture of slavery–needed to be genocided.

            It’s no longer just a matter of ending a couple hundred rich asshole families who we already beat in war. That was the ounce of prevention. It’s so much messier now.

        His interactions with native Americans is at least up there.

        I agree that they should have let him destroy more of the slavery infrastructure, though.

          Yeah, the variations online range from a sparkling denim blue to navy, but agreed, should be a deep navy with a subtle sparkle like the tears of ten thousand slave owners.

            I kind of want to name it “Northern Aggression”, and find some good small pride stickers and rainbow pinstripe…and maybe an antifascist action sticker for the hood?

                  I would suggest that referring to “Northern Aggression” is supporting into the traitors’ version of the story. It wasn’t northern aggression.

                  I’m not sure what you could use instead. Maybe reference the “terrible swift sword” from the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

              There is room in this world an alternate universe Fast and Furious franchise where it’s nothing but buck fucking wild meme muscle cars driven by a montle crew of drag queens and furries, doing lefty adventure shit.

              And it would demand a mighty stable of queer as fuck muscle cars, going from the subtle and prim and not quite proper, to rainbow pinstripe Trans-Ams that lives drives into the backend of a rolling base modeled after Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

              Yeah, a cheap printing shirt from like Gildan can be found at Michael’s STARTING at 20 dollars. 20 dollars (less maybe, if they can get wholesale prices) and you’re already eating well into any profit from a 42 dollar shirt after printing and shipping.

                Is that USD? They’re significantly cheaper on their website, I only see $20 for odd sizes like 3XL. But yeah, the price of the shirt itself and printing is just one factor, because breaking even is basically doing it for free. Artists gotta eat too.

        Then don’t buy it. If you just want something to cover up, go to a thrift store. If you want a shirt with specific art on it you either pay what the artist asks, make it yourself, or go without.

    “In trouble” how? “You can’t wear that because you didn’t bring enough to share.” At least give everyone a RedBubble link!

        I mean, it’s on the back, you can always layer it over.

      Got to be careful wearing a shirt like that. The idiot criminal president just declared being against fascism is actually being a terrorist.

        Being against the enemies of the United States is… terrorism? 🤔

        At a certain point, the word “terrorist” becomes less threatening. We are currently at the stage where my niece refusing to pick up her toys makes her a terrorist.

          Remember! Do not negotiate with terrorists!
