#BlackHistoryMonth is a reminder of how deep our roots go. From the legacy to the love in our communities, this month is about celebrating us—then and now.
This is Alex Pretti, a registered nurse and the man murdered by ICE today in Minneapolis protecting a fellow citizen from Trump’s thugs.

#BREAKING: The NAACP is suing Texas over a new electoral map that strips Black voters of their political power.
Filed with @lawyerscomm, our lawsuit accuses Texas of racially motivated gerrymandering to silence Black communities ahead of next year's midterms.
“The state’s intent here is to reduce the members of Congress who represent Black communities, and that, in and of itself, is unconstitutional.” — @DerrickNAACP

CARTER: Why would you cut HIV vaccine research?
RFK JR: “We’ve been funding it since 1984 and still no vaccine.”
CARTER: So because science hasn’t cracked it yet, your solution is to pull the plug? After 40 years of progress?
This is the equivalent of slashing the fire department budget because the fire’s still burning.
Science takes time. Quitting isn’t reform, it’s sabotage.
War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!
Someone just texted me this message and they are absolutely correct: “This is a bad look for the NFL. This feels like Kaepernick-level collusion.” All the hard work the NFL League Office puts in to eradicate these kinds of perceptions, only to turn around and watch as the OWNERS look like they’re colluding, messing up everything. What has been done to Shedeur will outshine everything else in this draft. We’ll never believe this is about just talent evaluation again.
Be clear, Trump’s win is a sign of voter realignment it's a sign of voter apathy. Trump didn't have to convert voters, just hold on to his base. This result is an indictment on MAGA and the 10 million + Biden voters who saw the most racist and sexist campaign, ignored the economists who warned about Trump’s plans wrecking the economy and still stayed home. Just remember that happens now is EXACTLY what y'all asked for and I will be here to remind you. #electionshaveconsequences

Joe Biden had a bad night, no doubt. But the thing that I am angriest about this morning is that we are handwringing over his bad debate performance and glossing over all of the absolutely insane things Donald Trump said last night.
Trump let slip that Putin told him his “dream” was to absorb Ukraine, thereby further highlighting his cozy relationship with dictators. Trump lied about his record and his own well-known issue positions. Trump promoted endless disinformation about his political rivals. Trump refused to commit to accepting the results of a free and fair election.
Trump is gaslighting America. Do not let Trump off the hook.
