#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “We are now about sixteen months into what has been from day one, a concerted and intense targeting of Black Americans specifically by this president and by this administration…When Trump and his top political donor Elon Musk then started just lopping off huge swaths of the federal government…the largest and most egregious cuts targeted federal agencies that employed a disproportionate number of Black employees. Reporter Erica Green wrote about this for…NYT: ‘…nothing had moved backwards in the federal government for Black Americans this quickly or this far…since Woodrow Wilson came in in 1912 and resegregated the federal workforce…”😳
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Hair is an important part of who we are. It helps us express ourselves, and can tell important stories about a person's culture and heritage. This #BlackHistoryMonth, join us as we explore the history behind several iconic hairstyles!

This year, a massive number of rap and R&B records become eligible for termination.
That means songwriters and artists finally have the legal right to reclaim their publishing and their masters.
If you know any of these songwriters or artists, tag them in this post.
This represents what could be the largest transfer of wealth to Black people in the history of the music industry.
But…
If you do not terminate your publishing and your masters within the legal window, you lose that right forever.
These labels and publishers will NOT tell you this but I will.
A true hero has taken his final flight. ✈️ Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, has passed at 100. He broke barriers and defended a country that denied him equality when he returned home. His legacy soars on. Rest in Power, Lt. Col. Stewart.
