I'm not seeing enough people talking about this horrific move by Republican officials in Alabama to restrict women's freedom of movement. You've got to be kidding me.

If Biden did what Mitch did today the media would be covering non stop for the next two weeks. But because it’s a Republican it’s like nothing ever happened.

The right wing bias of corporate media is nuts.

Today in 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.

After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.

This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. #FreshVotesBlue #BlackHistoryWithLana

My name is Lisa Blunt Rochester, and I am running to be Delaware's next United States Senator.

In the House, I fought to codify abortion rights, pass gun reform, and protect our democracy.

Retweet this and give me a follow to help me continue this fight in the Senate.

“Stay woke. Keep your eyes open.” - Lead Belly

The Scottsboro Boys, nine Black teens falsely accused of raping two white women in 1931, were sentenced to death. NAACP forced repeated retrials. They were finally freed but never recovered.

The first documented use of the phrase “stay woke” happened in the 1930s when Lead Belly ended his song about the Scottsboro Boys by advising Black folk traveling through Alabama to “stay woke.”

The term “woke" was created by Black people referring to being alert to systemic racial injustices. #BlackHistoryWithLana #Fresh

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back 👊🏿 DONATE here: https://t.co/QFjBGwYDCL

@thejackhopkins Thank you. Needed this.

Mary Fields aka Stagecoach Mary was hired as a mail carrier because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of six horses.

She was the first black woman employed as a mail carrier in the US and the second woman to work for the US Postal Service. #BlackHistorymonth

A substitute teacher was fired here in Florida because they posted a video of empty book shelves because so many books have been banned. That sound like liberty and freedom to you?

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

A Senator from Florida is in hot water right now because of his plan to sunset Medicare and Social Security every 5 years.

He's telling folks that because I’m cutting prescription drug costs – that means I’m cutting Medicare.

He’s a little confused. Let me clear it up:

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

This is a $400k increase from the previous President of New College. Not only is Gov DeSantis abusing his power to punish political enemies and people he disagrees with, he’s paying out to his friends too.

[Florida Freedom to Read Project @FLFreedomRead]

Yesterday we logged almost 200 challenges- about 150 of those resulted in immediate removals.

This is a picture of all the books removed from one HS library, in one day, in one District, due to the objections of one man.

This is not freedom. #FreeTheBooks

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC.

They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

Florida House leaders are touting legislation that would result in a big expansion of Florida's school voucher program. This is an issue my @orlandosentinel colleagues and I have spent a great deal of time writing about and researching. Here's what we've found:

DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.
