On this day in 1963, civil rights leader and organizer #MedgarEvers was assassinated by a white supremacist in the driveway of his home. We remember his legacy and honor his family, including his wife, #MyrlieEversWilliams, who was a dear friend of our founder, #CorettaScottKing.

“It’s time to wake the fuck up”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

A family in Lee County, GA, was enjoying a reunion together when a man drove by yelling racial slurs. Minutes later, he returned wearing body armor and carrying an AR-15-style rifle before opening fire. Marine veteran Ramell Green stepped in to protect his family from a hate-fueled attack. Black families deserve to gather, celebrate, and make memories without fear of becoming targets. This was no misunderstanding but a deliberate act that endangered the lives of children and elders. When innocent lives are put in the crosshairs of hate, accountability is not optional and justice is NOT negotiable.

Their success is a reminder that when young men are provided with strong support systems, positive role models, and access to quality education, there is no limit to what they can achieve. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

With profound sorrow & deep respect, we honor the life and legacy of Lawrence N. Brooks, who passed away at the remarkable age of 112. As the oldest living ‘American World War II Veteran’ at the time of his passing, represents one of the final living links to this generation.

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

That's a great observation.

The right's screaming outrage about DEI is not about qualifications, it's really all about racism

And this is proof positive right here.

@GrantPaulsen Yeah. That would be them…

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Vicky Mboko retires from her match against Karolina Pliskova at Queen’s Club down 2-6, 3-4

She slipped on the grass and injured her knee it looks like

Awful to see this ahead of Wimbledon.

Her doubles with Serena Williams looks unlikely now…

Hoping she recovers quickly. ❤️‍🩹

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Did you know Matthew "Mack" Robinson, older brother to baseball legend, Jackie Robinson, won a silver medal in the 1936 Summer Olympics? He finished 0.4 seconds behind Jesse Owens.

Most people know Jackie Robinson as the man who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947. But fewer people know that athletic greatness ran in the family.

His older brother, Mack Robinson, was one of the fastest men in the world.

At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Mack Robinson won the silver medal in the 200 meter race, finishing just behind the legendary Jesse Owens by only four tenths of a second. Owens won gold with a world record performance, while Robinson secured silver against some of the best sprinters on earth during one of the most politically charged Olympics in history.

Those Olympic Games were held in Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, who hoped to use the event to promote racist ideas about Aryan supremacy. Instead, Black athletes like Jesse Owens and Mack Robinson embarrassed those theories on the world stage through their talent, discipline, and dominance.

What makes Mack Robinson’s story even more remarkable is the struggle he faced after returning home to America. Despite becoming an Olympic medalist, he still dealt with segregation, discrimination, and limited opportunities because he was Black. Like many Black athletes of that era, international success did not protect him from racism in everyday American life.

Mack worked various jobs after the Olympics and continued competing in athletics, but he never received the level of recognition many white athletes with similar achievements enjoyed. His younger brother Jackie would later face similar hostility when integrating Major League Baseball, enduring racist abuse while changing sports history forever.

The Robinson family story is really about perseverance. Two brothers from the same family challenged racial barriers in different arenas, one on the Olympic track and the other on the baseball field. Both proved their excellence in a country that often tried to deny Black athletes equal respect and opportunity.

Today, Mack Robinson’s silver medal stands as more than just an athletic achievement. It represents Black excellence during a period when the world was filled with segregation, fascism, and racist propaganda. His legacy deserves to be remembered alongside the history made by his younger brother Jackie Robinson.

They denied it. The recording just blew up the entire lie. EVERY American should see this.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
