🚨 MAJOR NEWS: Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.
Called it a war crime. Said it is “not solving anything.”
And told Americans directly — call Congress.
End this war.
Philanthropist #MacKenzieScott recently donated $42M to Elizabeth City State University, marking a record-breaking, per-student gift to an HBCU. This gift also puts her over $1 BILLION dollars in contributions to #HBCUs since 2020. What a blessing!
Absolute horror. Al Jazeera confirms the Trump administration's near total fuel blockade on Cuba is causing infant mortality to surge. Doctors are literally operating blind in the dark as life saving machines shut off. This is a deliberate crime against humanity.
Today, history was made.
The United Nations General Assembly has passed the resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the racialised chattel enslavement of Africans as among the gravest crimes against humanity.
This historic vote marks a significant step forward in the global pursuit of truth, accountability, and reparatory justice. For generations, communities across the African diaspora have carried the weight of this injustice. Today, the world has taken an important step toward acknowledging that truth.
We honor those who fought, those who suffered, and those who continue to demand justice. The vote is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of a new chapter.
The work continues.
🚨 BREAKING: The UN just voted 123–3 to condemn the enslavement of Africans and the transatlantic slave trade.
The three countries that voted against:
🇺🇸 United States
🇮🇱 Israel
🇦🇷 Argentina
Much of Europe—the main perpetrators—abstained.
123 countries said yes.
3 said no.

Kiki Shepard, a familiar face who brought warmth, elegance, and ease into so many of our homes, has passed.
Best known for her role as co-host on Showtime at the Apollo, Shepard helped shape a cultural era, standing at the center of a stage that introduced generations of Black talent to the world. She wasn’t just part of the show’s legacy, she was part of its heartbeat.
Her presence felt like family. Week after week, she represented a kind of grace and poise that made you feel proud to be watching, proud to be part of the culture she helped celebrate.
Kiki Shepard continues to deserve her flowers. Today, we honor her with gratitude.
Heartbroken and stunned by the news of @thekikishepard's passing.. she was a constant presence, always supportive.. her smile will be deeply missed, but her legacy lives on.. my deepest condolences to her loved ones and fans.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Dear fellow Americans—please learn geography of why the world is in trouble if Iran crisis spirals out of control. Also, Iran is 3.5x the size of Iraq. If the US couldn’t hold Iraq after 10 years, Trump is insane if he wants to ground invade Iran.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. will be honored at the South Carolina capitol in the state where he was born and where his crusade career as a civil rights activist started in high school by pushing to integrate his local library.

Black America is under attack.
In Donald Trump’s second term, his policies are dismantling protections, freedoms, and opportunities for our communities. And let us be clear: cruelty isn’t a side effect; it’s the whole point.
But the spirit of Black America? Unbreakable.

JUST IN: Robert Garcia just CONFIRMED there IS a survivor who made SERIOUS allegations against Donald Trump — and that the FBI interviewed her.
And now her files are MISSING.
“Why these documents are missing is a critical question for the DOJ.”
🚨 BREAKING: Trump just announced the U.S. will send $10 BILLION to his so-called “Board of Peace.”
An offshore entity he controls. Where he’s chairman for life.
That’s taxpayer money → straight into Trump’s personal power structure.
He’s robbing America in real time.
