Its scary to think about how incredibly ignorant everyone would still be if we didn't have social media and independent journalists like you, and people just had to rely on mainstream news outlets and the journalists that work for them. Horrific. You may or may not ever get real justice but you can continue to expose and shame these people
🇺🇸 This man served in the Continental Army for 6+ years during the American Revolution.
Agrippa Hull, a free Black man from Stockbridge, Massachusetts, enlisted at age 18 in 1777.
He served as an orderly to Gen. John Paterson and the brilliant Polish engineer Tadeusz Kościuszko.
Hull was at Saratoga to witness Burgoyne’s surrender, wintered at Valley Forge, and fought at Monmouth and in the Southern campaigns.
In July 1783, he mustered out at West Point with a discharge paper signed by George Washington himself.
He lived to 89 years old and sat for this photo in 1844.
Thank you, Agrippa Hull! 🫡🇺🇸
Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger.
The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces.
"I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..."
"So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."
#RecordarEsVivir El 18 de mayo de 1961: Fidel Castro expulsó a 200 monjas católicas de #Cuba. Obligadas al exilio, las religiosas llegaron a Miami. @ChacoCma@GastonLevar@Karellymoreno@MujerBonita2_0
Los cantos de los fidelistas cuando las expulsaron, eran: “ Las monjas, derechas, que se quiten las sotanas y se pongan falda estrecha”…
Y a los sacerdotes: “Los curas, ladrones, que se quiten las sotanas y se pongan pantalones.”
También gritaban: "Para los curas, paredón, para los curas paredón". Delante de niños sin importarles nada. Así comenzaba el terror.
La mayor expulsión de monjas y religiosos en Cuba ocurrió en 1961. En mayo de ese año, tras la nacionalización de la enseñanza, Fidel Castro ordenó la confiscación de los colegios católicos y la deportación de miles de sacerdotes y monjas, quienes tuvieron que abandonar la isla hacia España y Estados Unidos.
350 colegios religiosos fueron confiscados y más de 2.200 monjas (en su mayoría educadoras) y cientos de sacerdotes fueron expulsados y obligados al exilio.
El comunismo debe morir.

“Eu preciso voltar para a igreja.”
Matthew McConaughey disse que a fé fazia parte de sua rotina na infância, mas acabou sendo deixada de lado quando ingressou na faculdade e iniciou sua carreira em Hollywood. Segundo o ator, o sucesso profissional e a ambição substituíram, por um tempo, o espaço que a fé ocupava em sua vida.
Mas sua volta começou com o nascimento de seu primeiro filho, em 2007, foi então que ele disse ter percebido: “Eu preciso voltar para a igreja.” A paternidade o forçou a enfrentar questões de responsabilidade, legado e dependência de Deus.
Além disso, a influência de sua esposa Camila Alves, que é uma católica devota, teve grande parte nisso.
>Atheists usually claim they are smarter than Believers in God
>Be Dr. Willie Soon
>Astrophysicist and aerospace engineer from Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
>Says that Math proves God
>"when you look at the foundational mathematics that govern the universe, you do not see random, chaotic coincidence. You see staggering, hyper-tuned precision."
>"calibration of physical laws is too deliberate to be a result of random chance"
>Just one of many geniuses who expresses belief in God after studying the sciences (like Isaac Newton, Galileu Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Blaise Pascal, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, Gregor Mendel, Louis Pasteur, Nicolaus Copernicus, etc)
Christ is Lord!
Rawlin Lee Tate Jr. from Woodland High School in Stockbridge, Georgia takes 31 AP courses & becomes the school’s first black Male valedictorian. He earned over $1.3 million in college scholarship offers & he had no grade below a 98 in high school and was top of his class for years.
With his hands cuffed, he wipes his own tears…Because he was forced to confess to a crime he never committed. And then, they hanged him in Iran for protesting against Islamic Republic.
His name was Erfan Kiani.
But we only heard his name after his execution.
His family stayed silent, not out of choice, but out of fear.
They were told: stay quiet, and maybe he will live.
So unfortunately many families believe the interrogators.
There is no ceasefire in Iran.
The executions never stopped.
The war is not over, it has simply been hidden behind prison walls.
I call on international media and the leaders of free world to take action about it. Say their names.
Do not let them die twice in silence.
Girl-dad here, my daughters are in their early 20s now.
To all the guys out there who society told being a responsible father was a fate worse than death, and who are now getting a glimpse through Pragmata of what fatherhood might be like:
You were lied to hard, sorry bro, being a father is the most amazing thing on earth. But it's not too late, go find a good woman, marry her, raise a family, provide, be responsible, go all in. Be the protector you were made to be.
You've got this, king.
Meet Davyon Johnson, an 11 year old from Muskogee, Oklahoma, who saved two lives in a single day. ❤️
At school, a classmate began choking on a bottle cap. Davyon sprang into action, didn’t hesitate & performed the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge it. That same afternoon, Davyon spotted a house engulfed in flames with an elderly woman trapped inside. He charged toward the fire & guided her out to safety. No cameras. No script. Just pure courage & a heart full of compassion.
Because one boy’s decision to act, two lives were spared to see another sunrise.
True change doesn’t require fame or wealth. It starts with kindness in motion & love that steps forward.
Repost to make him famous & keep humanity’s flame alive. ❤️
This is actually kinda insane
In 1996, a 14-year-old kid watched Jaws and got obsessed with Quint’s WWII monologue.
He then began researching the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis, interviewed around 150 survivors, and reviewed 800 documents. His research focused on the role of the ship’s captain, Charles B. McVay III, who had been court-martialed after the incident. He came to believe that Captain Charles Butler McVay III, who had been blamed for the tragedy, was innocent.
The 14-year-old, Hunter Scott, presented his findings to the United States Congress at age 14. In 2000, Congress passed a resolution clearing Captain McVay’s name, and the U.S. Navy later formally exonerated him.
At night, when people in the world go to sleep, three thousand monks on Mount Athos wake up to begin their nightly prayer for the whole world.
Every time you go to sleep, or while other people begin a different kind of wakefulness—going to bars or discos—the monks on Mount Athos stay awake all night to save the modern world from perdition with their prayer.
And if you cannot fall asleep at night and take medicine for insomnia, remember this and pray.
