Tell your children about Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She turned 71 last year-she's only 71.

@mdotbrown That is a great look at the put-back - but the key to the play is that OG charges the hoop the moment Brunson releases the shot.
OG put himself in position to make the play - and then he did it.

Estados Unidos aceitou sediar a Copa do Mundo, mas não aceita em seu país haitianos, iranianos, senegaleses, somalis, iraquianos, sul-africanos, etc.

Por que então aceitou ser sede da Copa?

A FIFA fez merda, e das grandes, como sempre.

As we observe Black Music Month, this 1958 Jet cover reflects a part of my mother’s public life that is sometimes overlooked. Her voice and artistry were part of the freedom movement, and music was one of the ways she contributed to the struggle for justice.

Her artistry and her activism were never separate.

We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

In 1903, the French government expelled the Carthusian monks from their monastery in the Alps and seized everything they owned.

The monastery. The distillery. The equipment. All of it. There was just one little problem.

Only two monks in the entire order knew the recipe for Chartreuse, and they had memorized it. There was nothing written down that the government could take.

The French government hired chemists to reverse-engineer it. They analyzed every bottle they could find. They ran every test available to early 20th Century science. They could not replicate it. The liqueur they produced under the Chartreuse name was so inferior that it destroyed the brand almost immediately. Sales collapsed. The company the government set up to produce it went bankrupt in 1929.

The monks, meanwhile, had relocated to Tarragona in Spain and were producing the real thing the entire time.

In 1929, the same year the French government's operation went under, the monks quietly bought back the rights to their own name and returned to their monastery.

The recipe is still known by exactly two monks at any given time. When one dies or becomes too ill to continue, he passes his portion to a successor. The full recipe has never been written down in a form that has left the order.

Chartreuse is made from 130 Alpine plants and herbs. The monks tend the distillery themselves. They take no outside employees into the production process. The 1605 manuscript that started all of this is still held in the monastery archive.

The French Third Republic lasted from 1870 to 1940. The monks are still there, still making Chartreuse.

on this day in 1963, Governor George Wallace famously "stood in the schoolhouse door."

The Alabama Governor physically blocked Vivian Malone and James Hood, two black students, from enrolling in the University.

This is Sad!

For almost 30 years, leaders from both parties have set politics aside to honor the women veterans who gave their lives for this country at Arlington National Cemetery.

Then Trump and Hegseth shut it down.

Why? Because the ceremony recognized women.

This is an insult to every woman who wore the uniform, served with courage, and sacrificed for this nation.

Yesterday, @demwomencaucus stood with the women veterans Trump and Hegseth tried to erase and held an event anyway.

We see you. We honor you. We thank you. 🇺🇸

June 11, 1963. My late sister in law - Vivian Malone - with the help of the Department of Justice and President Kennedy integrated the University of Alabama. The Governor of the state, George Wallace, stood in the school house door to prevent her from enrolling. The use of State power to trample on the rights of black Americans. In 2026 this resurgent movement by southern Republicans is both historically familiar and alarming.

Vivian fought.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

That's a great observation.

The right's screaming outrage about DEI is not about qualifications, it's really all about racism

And this is proof positive right here.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

The amount of explosives that Israel dropped on the Gaza Strip exceeded the power of the two atomic bombs that the United States dropped on Japan at the end of World War II.

A video that the world must never forget.
