Sellers: “We are going to be the first generation to actually leave this country worse than the one that we inherited.
Bakari: And I think for black millennials, uh the the the progress that our parents and grandparents gave us, that we're watching being ripped away from us is something that our generation is going to have to really wrestle with and and figuring out how we get out of this conundrum.
If somebody fell asleep in 1896 and woke up today in 2026, they would simply say the only difference is now Negroes have a TV show and we wear nice suits.
They they swapped out clan hoods for Brooks Brothers suits. And and that is the problem.
I mean, Plessy v. Ferguson was 7-1 and it gave birth to 50 years of Jim Crow.
What we have with this court right now, what we're seeing is is watching people who have fought and died and bled so that we would have access to the ballot box, so that we would have access to our voices being heard in Congress, being ripped away.
And and I think that there is a casual laughter from people we believe to be our friends on the right who are showing us true colors today because the most sacred or one of the most sacred acts you have in the United States of America is the ability to cast a ballot and elect someone and send them to Congress, the state house or mayoral seat that represents your interest and now black folks throughout the South are being silenced.
Biden didn't release the Epstein files because of an ongoing investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell which is exactly why Trump has reopened an investigation into "Democrats" — so he doesn't have to release the files.
Rahm Emanuel's message to Democrats in the aftermath of the shutdown:
"Chuck Schumer is not the problem. Donald Trump and the rubber-stamp Republicans are the problem. Keep your eye on the prize. Focus on what's important."
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner. 1/2
We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️
My grandfather was one of the original five Tuskegee airmen, Charles DeBow, and my youngest son is named after his co-pilot. They fought for equal rights and for all of America in WWII when many worked to undermine their efforts. To erase their legacy is beyond unconscionable.
My HS principal was a Tuskegee airman, an excellent educator that took involved interest in his students education. We never knew his background until the city had a surprise ceremony for him. Rest in power QP Smith. He won't be forgotten. https://t.co/x1Jf8rfLYw
