Four white men abducted a college student at gunpoint from a car outside a dance in 1959 and assaulted her.

Then something happened that had never happened in Florida: an all-white jury convicted all four of them.
Betty Jean Owens. Tallahassee.

She was a student at Florida A&M. Her three friends escaped and went straight to the police. Officers found the car and arrested the men that night — which was itself unusual.

The men confessed. And Betty Jean Owens did the thing the entire system was built to prevent: she testified, in open court, in front of them, and did not waver.

Florida A&M students shut the campus down and packed the courthouse every day of the trial.

All four were convicted and sentenced to life.
It was the first time in Florida's history that white men received life sentences for raping a Black woman.

She was 18 years old and she changed what was possible in that state by refusing to stay silent in a room full of men who assumed she would.

Betty's case was historic—but it also exposes how rarely Black women received that kind of justice for crimes committed against them.

We documented stories of Black Americans who faced violence, injustice, and crimes that went unanswered. Take a look: https://t.co/V6OJtayKnF

Some high school kids were talking and said “No way Gen X wrote 10-page papers without AI.”

Oh, honey.

We wrote them without reading the book…the night before they were due…by hand and in cursive.

We are not the same.

Here’s the mug shots of the sick fucks who abducted, sexually assaulted, and held 163 children captive in Florida.

Not trans
Not immigrants
Not Muslim

And you don’t even need to wonder who they voted for: The convicted felon and child-raping pedophile in the White House.

Louisiana is imprisoning people beyond their release dates. Multiple people are filing a class-action lawsuit for being detained after courts had authorized their freedom.

One woman said she lost over 100 days.

A previous departmental review found that over 2,000 people were overdetained annually by an average of roughly 71 days. Between 2012 and recent years, roughly 25% to 27% of people released from state custody were held past their legal release date.

Millions of dollars in taxpayer funds are paying jails to incarcerate people who are legally free.

This is obviously an egregious violation of basic civil liberties. Regardless of how we may personally feel about any incarcerated individuals, the continuation of captivity after the state's legal authority has expired is basically kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Detaining an individual past the expiration of their court-ordered sentence is a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This should be much bigger news.

Our federal government has an obligation to put an end to unconstitutional overdetention.

Black neighborhoods weren’t “naturally poor,” they were deliberately underfunded, redlined, and targeted for destruction.

Sixty-one years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was signed into law after years of organizing, sacrifice, courage, and disciplined nonviolence.

It was not a gift from those in power. It was won by people who marched, resisted, endured violence, and refused to accept disenfranchisement as the price of citizenship.

That legacy places a responsibility on us. As voting rights continue to face new restrictions and attacks, we must protect access to the ballot, challenge voter suppression, and defend the voice of every eligible voter.

Democracy cannot endure when the right to vote is weakened. The work continues.

"Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. And clearly, he is having a very difficult time processing that. We cannot afford to have a President of the United States who attempts to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election." ~ @KamalaHarris, September 10, 2024

[i Expose Racists & Pedos @SeeRacists]

🚨 White teenagers in Florida left their Black friend Marquise to drown in a river while taunting him with slurs and monkey noises from the shore.

Marquise couldn’t swim well and was wearing an ill-fitting child-sized life jacket. A kayaking family rescued him as he feared for his life.

He said his “friends” expected him to swim back alone. This kind of racist behavior is disgusting and should be investigated.

It’s 250 years of freedom for white men only.
It’s 106 years of voting freedom for white women.
It’s 72 years of voting freedom for Asian immigrants.
It’s 61 years of voting freedom for Black people.
It’s 51 years of voting rights for Native Peoples, but we all know that’s a farce when their lands were stripped from them and their ways of life were classified illegal.
It’s 10 years of marriage freedom for queer couples.
It’s 0 years of voting freedom for Puerto Ricans.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

As America reflects on 250 years, truth must be part of the commemoration.

For Black Americans, America as a democracy is only 61 years old. That truth is not a rejection of this nation. It is a call for America to become what it has promised.

May we choose truth, justice, and the Beloved Community.
