The House Votes to Remove Confederate Statues in the U.S. Capitol.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to remove all Confederate statues from public display in the U.S. Capitol, along with replacing the bust of former Chief Justice of the United States Roger Taney, author of the 1857 Dred Scott decision that declared that people of African descent were not U.S. citizens.

The House passed the measure 285-120. All Democratic members supported the legislation; all 'no' votes came from Republican members.

Let the Senate's "Confederate Caucus" (AKA the Republican Party) filibuster this!

@Pinkstarburst Nothing is being erased lmao - and anything actually historical is already protected.

Germans took down their nazi banners. Ukrainians took down statues of Lenin. Russians took down statues of Stalin. Everyone still remembers.

@Pinkstarburst No one is saying to "erase history," we're saying that statues honoring traitors should be removed. But I can see how that would be a problem for conservatives who don't read books, so if the statue of Robert E. Fuckface is gone, they won't know who he was.
