Everyone needs to watch @Justinjpearson's floor speech from the TN State House.
"Today, you will take the only Black-majority district from us. But I want you to know: No matter what you do, no matter how much you try to break us & make us bend & quit — we will still be here."
Ninth Grader Demi Johnson receives National Geographic award for plan to save Mississippi's oyster reef population. The ninth grader has produced 1,100 oysters that will in turn spawn millions of larvae into the ecosystem, a huge ecological impact
Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t.
Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.
On April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated, my father delivered what would be his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.”
He spoke with a clarity that came from conviction, not certainty. He acknowledged the difficulty of the days ahead, yet he was not moved by fear. He was anchored in purpose and in a faith that justice would prevail.
What stands out to me is not only what he said, but how he said it. He was preparing people to stay committed, to stay disciplined, and to continue the work, even without him.
His words are not just history. They are instruction.

“I don’t walk as easy as I used to.
I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to.
I don’t debate as well as I used to.
But I know what I do know:
I know how to tell the truth."
- Joe Biden👇👇
61 years ago today, at the culmination of the Selma to Montgomery marches, my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stood on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol and declared with clarity and conviction, “How long? Not long!”
That moment was not only about the victory ahead. It was about the determination to keep moving forward in the face of brutality, injustice, and delay.
The question still meets us today. Not just “How long?,” but ”How committed we are to doing what is necessary to secure and protect the right to vote for all?”

43 years ago today, Motown 25 gave us one of the greatest moments in music. Jermaine reunited with his brothers for the first time in 8 years… then Michael debuted the moonwalk on TV.
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.
But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.
The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
You want to know what insults Jesus?
Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.
Black woman, this is your reminder. Hear this and hold it close. You are beautiful. You are perfectly imperfect. You are already enough. You don’t have to be everything for everybody or save the world to be worthy. Move with love. Move with faith. Move knowing you are THAT GIRL!
This one is for the sis. Always. 🫶🏾 #BET #WomensHistoryMonth
