The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moment of comfort but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. MLK.

We spent 100 billion dollars and what we got the Strait of Hormuz open like it was 100 days ago. What a loser.

BREAKINGNEWS: Art of the deal. Iran says Trump agreed to 300 billion to rebuild Iran. 24 billion in frozen assets to be released. Iran claims some of that money has already been handed over. Jesus this is a mess. 🚨

@EricTrump So you will train your children to grow up with the Trump Family Code of Ethics/Values. They will become grifters, lack morals, decency will have no meaning to them, pathological liars, racists...

Happy 250! Thousands of rednecks on the front lawn in front of a fight… What could possibly go wrong?

Tired of watching Black people be disrespected, mocked, and dehumanized for simply existing. Michelle Obama has spent years carrying herself with grace, intelligence, and dignity, yet people still attack her with racist and hateful insults.

This is why it’s fuck everybody who aligns themselves with people like Trump who is a racist, rapist, and pedophile!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

RETWEET if you stand with Michelle Obama!

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

This is beyond ludicrous.

Why the hell are U.S. Marines and soldiers saluting a UFC fighter?

The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not celebrities, influencers, or the latest personality cult. Watching service members rendered as props for a UFC spectacle is beneath the dignity of the uniform and beneath the dignity of the country.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Oh that was nice. Josh Hokit ended his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan by calling Michelle Obama a man. Nothing says let’s celebrate America quite like that. Truly special. #UFCFreedom250

[The Democratic Voice @TheDemVoiceNow]

That UFC event is a stain on our country that is better washed away than it is celebrated. We don't need The Hunger Games. We need healthcare. We need affordability. We need a sane president.

And we sure as hell don't need a UFC event on the lawn of the White House.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

In 1944, US Navy began accepting black women to serve. Harriet Ida Pickens and Ensign Frances Wills were the first two Black officers to be commissioned into the Women’s Reserve.

On October 19th, 1944, the U.S. Navy began admitting black women to serve as administrative officers in the Women's Reserve of the U.S. Navy,better known as WAVES( Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). Despite this groundbreaking order, Black women remained largely unrepresented in the naval branch.

Of the more than 80,000 women serving during World War II, only 72 were black.

The U.S. military's history of racial segregation formally came to an end on July 26, 1948, when President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, the legislation that integrated all branches of the U.S. armed forces.
On December 26, 1944 Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Harriet Ida Pickens, and Ensign Frances Wills were commissioned as the first African-American WAVES.

@AfricanArchives In 1944 James Russell Brown & Thomas Parham became the first two United States Navy Chaplins. After the Navy, James Russell Brown became an African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church Minister. He was my Minister at 1st AME in Kansas City, Kansas.

@covie_93 @politicsdiva817 Yrs ago I participated in a 5K run near the Lincoln Memorial. After the run my friends & I were sitting on the steps of the Memorial & the sign indicating the non-profit organization we represented was visible. A Park Ranger told us we couldn't sit there with the sign. Today???
