Man, that totally caught me by surprise. I was like "Oh, maybe he'll get in the car and drive it..." but a burnout??? He nailed it, too. That was so awesome, wow. He's 11 years old!!!!
Total goosebumps!! 11-year-old Brexton Busch just did a burnout in his dad's CUP CAR at Charlotte Motor Speedway at the end of the memorial service. What an incredible scene!
On September 28, 1868, white mobs in Opelousas, Louisiana, unleashed racial terror as Black citizens were beginning to exercise newly gained voting rights during Reconstruction. An estimated 200 Black people were killed. The violence was so effective at suppressing Black political participation that, weeks later, Ulysses S. Grant received not a single vote in St. Landry Parish.
The right to vote has never been only about access to a ballot. It is also about being able to exercise political power without intimidation, violence, or fear.
We honor those who were killed by telling the truth about what happened and by protecting the freedom of every eligible voter to participate fully and safely in our democracy.

A family is safe today because a father did what fathers do: he put himself between his child and danger.
When a tree crashed into the Carter family’s Maryland home during a storm, their 12-year-old son was trapped beneath the collapse. His father, Andrew Carter, shielded him as the structure continued to come down until first responders could reach them.
They all survived. But the home that held their family, their belongings, and their sense of security has been left unlivable.
No family should have to face the trauma of nearly losing a child and then immediately face displacement, recovery, and the uncertainty of rebuilding.
The Carter family needs our help.
Please donate what you can to support Andrew and Sandra Carter with temporary housing, essential needs, and their path toward rebuilding. If you cannot donate, share their story with someone who can.

Trump claims to be pro-trucker and pro-farmer, but his energy policies and foreign conflicts are driving up fuel costs.
At $5.85 a gallon for diesel, truckers and farmers are suffering from Trumps consequences.
MAMDANI: “We are spending tens of billions of dollars on killing people. That money could have been used to make life easier for our people.
There always seems to be money for war, but not to feed the poor.”
