They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

Today's Black American (Freedmen) inventor is Alexander Miles. Alexander Miles invented a way for elevator doors to automatically open and close. Before his invention, taking the elevator used to be very dangerous.

We all have used his invention since it is used all around the world today in the tens of millions of buildings that have elevators. #BlackHistoryMonth

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

This is a disgrace.

I’ve worked in newsrooms.

Make no mistake, the BBC made a deliberate choice in allowing this racial slur to be aired. And then broadcast the clip.

They did however, manage to cut out Akinola Davies Jr saying “Free Palestine”

Fiercely intelligent. Charismatic. Courageous. A visionary ahead of his time. Committed to the liberation of his people. A champion for the oppressed.

A hidden dresser passage, recently uncovered in an 1800s Manhattan home, is believed to be linked to the Underground Railroad. Believed to be the first discovery of its kind in Manhattan in over a century, the 2x2 tunnel and candle wax traces tell a story of resistance and hope. We must PRESERVE these truths. ✊🏿
