🚨 Rep. Sarah Jacobs just left Pete Hegseth STUNNED in this hearing.
With 2,500 Marines from her district off the coast of Iran and military families calling her office in panic, she asked the question no one else would:
“Do you believe the president is mentally stable enough to be Commander-in-Chief?”
Hegseth deflected hard.
She didn’t flinch.
Then she dropped this:“If you think this is what winning looks like… maybe we should be questioning your mental stability.”
Pure accountability. No notes.
It takes a woman to say what needs to be said when lives and billions of dollars are on the line. This clip is everything.

So far we know that Data centres:

🌊 Deplete our fresh water
🐝 Kill off bees
🐮 Affect animal fertility
🔉Cause significant sound pollution
🌲Destroy the environment
🤖Take over human jobs
🌍Risk our children’s futures

ENOUGH with billionaires’ greed!
STOP ALL data centres!

A New Black South isn’t just an idea. It’s a strategy to build Black political and economic power.

We have the numbers to shape the future and influence state and local governments. That’s why I teach Civics for the People—so we understand how the system works and how to use our numbers to our advantage.

If Black people are 14% of the U.S. population but 38% of Mississippi, we have leverage there. Louisiana is 34% Black. Those numbers matter, but only if we’re organized.

Nobody is coming to save us. We have the numbers to save ourselves and help move this nation forward. We have to be willing to build again.

I’m not interested in convincing people we deserve power. I’m interested in building enough power that our communities can determine their own future. Every other group organizes, builds critical mass, and exercises political influence. We should unapologetically do the same.

This ain’t for everybody. But it might be for you.

Support Civics for the People through the link in my bio and help us build a New Black South.

Rep. Ro Khanna urged followers disturbed by his detention in the occupied West Bank to focus on the far greater violence Palestinians endure every day and follow Drop Site journalist Maysa Mustafa and independent journalist and Drop Site contributor Jasper Nathaniel for their reporting on Palestinians’ experiences under occupation.

If you're judging 4 million Muslim Americans by the actions of Hamas, are you willing to judge all Christians by the KKK or Timothy McVeigh? Muslim Americans serve in the military, work as doctors, police officers, firefighters, and teachers. Pretending they're all the same is intellectually lazy.

They’re fortifying the White House, firing election officials, and demanding voter rolls from every state.

Probably nothing.

I love how nobody voted for or even asked cities/towns about Flock cameras. They just started popping up everywhere. Who approved them, and how did they do it without public approval?

[United Africa @United_Africanz]

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence proclaimed that “all men are created equal.” But those words did not apply equally in practice.

At the time, an estimated half a million enslaved Black people remained in bondage across the American colonies. They could still be bought and sold, forced to work without pay, separated from their families, and denied the freedoms celebrated in the Declaration.

As many white colonists marked their independence from British rule, enslaved Black men, women, and children continued to endure lives of coercion, violence, and exploitation. For them, July 4 was not a celebration of liberty—it was another day under slavery.

This contradiction is part of the nation’s history. Several of the Founding Fathers who championed ideals of liberty also enslaved people, highlighting the gap between America’s founding principles and its realities.

Even after slavery was abolished decades later, Black Americans continued to face segregation, disenfranchisement, and discrimination in the long struggle for equal rights.

Remembering this history does not diminish America’s founding ideals. It challenges us to understand the full story—both the nation’s aspirations and the ways it fell short of them.

History is strongest when it includes every voice, every sacrifice, and every truth.
