The JFK Profile in Courage Award is being presented tonight to the people of the Twin Cities, honoring residents who risked their safety during operation metro surge.
All Twin Citians who stood up for immigrant rights, due process, and the promise of equal protection: thank you for your courage.
@clarencehilljr Clarence this is amazing to watch. History will not look kindley on those who are so willng to accept the disenfrachisement of the community.
105 years ago today — May 31, 1921 — horror came to Tulsa.
A thriving, self-made Black community known as "Black Wall Street" was brutally attacked by white mobs in one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in American history.
They burned it to the ground. Hundreds of Black-owned homes and businesses — symbols of pride, prosperity, and hard-won success — were looted and reduced to rubble. At least 36 Black residents were murdered, over 800 were injured, and thousands more were left homeless, their dreams and life's work destroyed in a single night of terror.
A community that had risen against all odds was violently crushed. We remember Greenwood. We remember the lives stolen. We remember the pain that still echoes.
Jasmine wouldn't endorse a punk. She does endorse fighters who don't back down.
Honored to have my sister @JasmineForUS’ endorsement. We’re gonna take back the House and bring in more fighters—let’s go, CA. 💪🏽💪🏽
From Tulsa to Boston, our legacies move through us.
As we mark the 105th commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, we honor the Black lives stolen in Tulsa and carry the mantle left by Mother Viola Ford Fletcher, Hughes Van Ellis, and others who led calls for essential reparative justice.
That’s why in Congress I am fighting to ensure true progress is met with policy—working to advance HR40, legislation to confront the lasting legacy of slavery and advance reparations.
Because reparations are not charity. They are a debt long overdue. We need reparations NOW.
Legacy and possibility are unfolding in real time at Bowie State University. This year the university honored 887 graduates making it the largest graduating class in the school's history. This moment represented the lasting power of HBCUs to cultivate and empower the next generation of leaders to dream beyond limitations. Congratulations to all the graduates! https://t.co/ULQIwabIIw
@clarencehilljr@clarencehilljr watching these NFL players & former players express their pure ignorance is eye opening today. The columns that will be written this week will hopefully help educate everyone why being this ignorant is so dangerous right now.
@RToaston@clarencehilljr@DezBryant I write about this all the time. What we dont need right now, especially in Texas, is someone like Dez demonstrating they have no clue what is going on. Truly clueless & dangerous to our very existence.
@BrandonJacobs27 Watching these athletes demonstrate how clueless they are about the deeply harmful impact on our community of President Trump & SCOTUS is such an eye opener. No understanding & no willingness to stand up.
Look another clueless post. Tell me you dont truly understand what the Trump presidency is & what the Supreme Court did with Louisiana v. Callais? These might be the most clueless posts by athletes ever. SMH. Looking at you @BrandonJacobs27
Tell me you dont truly understand what the Trump presidency & wha the Supreme Court did with Louisiana v. Callais? This might be one of the most clueless posts by an athlete ever. SMH
I really don’t understand the hate Jaxon Dart got for introducing President Trump. Good or bad..if you support Trump or not..you're in a lose lose situation. Politics and religion are difficult for sports. Folks have the right to believe in whatever the fuck they want.
I don't know..I just live by a code..As long as it's not interfering with my shit..do whatever you want because you've got to take whatever you're on up with God. I'm too much of a sinner to be judgmental and political.
Banning “Roots” was never just about a book. It was about whether people are allowed to fully confront the truth of Black history in America. Alex Haley gave generations a powerful window into the pain, resilience, and humanity of our ancestors. That history CANNOT be erased. https://t.co/mEIEfIKZ1v
