Two women, in their own driveway, had assault rifles pointed at them. ICE agents broke their car window with a rifle stock and dragged them out.
No warrant. No crime. Just retaliation for observing.
This is Democrat Na’Cole Thompson, who just won the Leander mayoral race in Texas by double points against two GOP opponents. Trump won the city by 4 points in 2024, making this a 20 point swing towards Democrats.
RETWEET to congratulate Thompson on her impressive victory!
For the first time in program history, the Trauma and Acute Care Surgery service at Johns Hopkins was led by an all-Black team of senior residents.
Between us, there are five MDs, two PhDs, and six master's degrees-but more importantly, a shared commitment to serving the people of Baltimore.
We are Black history.
We are our ancestors' wildest dreams.
And we're just getting started.

After 15 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit, Michael Pearson is suing Clarendon County & SC officials. Law enforcement is accused of using flawed fingerprint evidence, and prosecutors of withholding evidence that could have freed him. When innocent people are robbed of their freedom, accountability is the ONLY path to justice!
We pay tribute to an athlete whose Olympic triumph transcended sports.
Jesse Owens ran for dignity on the world's biggest stage, shattering racist ideologies and proving that excellence knows no boundaries.

10 NFL head coaching jobs opened. ZERO went to Black coaches. The league is 70% Black players but will enter 2026 with only 3 Black head coaches out of 32 teams. The Rooney Rule was created to increase diversity, yet here we are. The numbers tell the story. This must change.
Four years ago, former NFL player Glenn Foster Jr. died in police custody after a traffic stop. Today we honor the memory of this beloved husband and father and stand with his family in demanding accountability. Our thoughts are with them this holiday season. 🙏🏿
If federal agents are brazen enough to fire pellets directly at a Member of Congress, imagine how they behave when encountering defenseless members of our community.
It’s time for Congress to rein in this rogue agency NOW.
