Edit: “This painting is about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, and yet it is not,” Kaphar said. “The reason I say, ‘And yet it is not,’ is because we know from the actual history that Sally Hemings was very fair. Very, very fair. The woman who sits here is not just simply a representation of Sally Hemings, she’s more of a symbol of many of the black women whose stories have been shrouded by the narratives of our deified founding fathers.”

I glanced thru the guy's tweets. Most of them are incoherent to similar extents. He also has an strange obsession with the 1956 election.
From the Los Angeles Times article (titled "Road to vindication for California’s Barbara Lee, the only member of Congress to vote against Afghanistan war") and her interview by KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco on 9/11/2026...
She received a massive wave of hate mail and explicit death threats, requiring round-the-clock protection by the U.S. Capitol Police who accompanied her everywhere. She noted that being a Black woman made her an even more visible target for vitriol.

On April 21, 2015, in the case of Rodriguez v. United States, the Supreme Court held that police officers cannot prolong a traffic stop to conduct a dog-sniffing drug search. The opinion, issued by Judge Ginsburg (in which Justices Roberts, Scalia, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan joined; Justice Kennedy* issued a dissenting opinion; Justice Thomas* issued a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Alito and Kennedy joined (Justice Kennedy joined all but Part III); and Justice Alito* issued a dissenting opinion), holds that without reasonable suspicion, police extension of a traffic stop to conduct a dog sniff violates a person’s Constitutional right against unreasonable seizures under the Fourth Amendment. The Court held that a police officer who is conducting a traffic stop cannot hold a person any longer than what is needed to determine whether to issue a traffic ticket, checking the driver’s licenses, determining if the person has any outstanding warrants against them, and inspecting the vehicle’s registration and proof of insurance. The opinion discusses Illinois v. Caballes, 543 U.S. 405 (2005) in which the Court previously held that a dog sniff conducted during a lawful traffic stop does not violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable seizures. In this case, however, the Court held that a person’s Fourth Amendment right is violated when police conduct a dog sniff after completion of a traffic stop.
*Kennedy was appointed by Ronald Reagan (Republican); Thomas was appointed George Herbert Walker Bush (Republican); Alito was appointed by George Walker Bush (Republican)

Sarcasm rarely works on Reddit so I cut that part out entirely.
From Wikipedia:
When integration began on September 4, 1957, the Arkansas National Guard was called in to "preserve the peace". Originally at orders of the governor, they were meant to prevent the black students from entering due to claims that there was "imminent danger of tumult, riot and breach of peace" at the integration. However, President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730, which federalized the Arkansas National Guard and ordered them to support the integration on September 23 of that year, after which they protected the African American students.
