Established in September 1953, Arena Players Inc. was created as a space for Black actors to play parts that offered more than the butlers, maids, and mammy figures that they were able to portray at other stages during that time. https://t.co/eHchcGn3Wa
On this day in 1993, the late Layne Staley of Alice In Chains saw a man giving Nazi salutes in the crowd during one of his concerts. Staley invited the man on stage, and then proceeded to punch him twice in the face and have him ejected. Legend.
Thank you @ABCNews and reporter @MorganNorwood for having @ErrinHaines, president of NABJ, on ABC News This Morning to discuss press freedom and the serious concerns surrounding the arrest and release of Don Lemon while reporting on a Minnesota church protest.
Dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment Saturday behind fences at a Texas detention facility where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent this week after being detained in Minnesota.
BREAKING: A video has leaked from an immigration detention center believed to be at 31 Hopkins Plaza, in Baltimore Maryland where legal immigrants are not even allowed to bath for over 10 days.
The person speaking Spanish is saying the following:
"Look at how they have us here. Look at how immigration is treating us. There are people here who are legal, there are people who are not legal, there are people who are losing their families. They are kidnapping us. They have us in a warehouse here in Baltimore. They beat us, they beat an older man. We can’t take it anymore. They have kept us here for more than 10 days without bathing and enduring hunger.”
TODAY: Hundreds of thousands in Minnesota braved -10°F weather to march through downtown Minneapolis as part of the statewide general strike demanding ICE out of the Twin Cities.

More than 600 women are suing Chesapeake Regional Medical Center for allegedly enabling a doctor, currently in prison, to perform unnecessary hysterectomies & sterilizations. This life-altering violation was a betrayal of women's bodies, their choices, and their futures. Accountability is the only path to justice!
New: Anne Arundel County police are publicly disputing ICE's account of a Christmas Eve shooting, in which federal officials claimed (as they have in Minneapolis) that the driver they were stopping tried to run them over.

Protestors set up a memorial for Renee Good, the mother of three and U.S. Citizen who was shot three times in the face by ICE.
ICE responded by stomping on the memorial candles.
There is nothing that is happening in 2026 that’s not built on a solid base of white supremacy. If you are outraged by ICE (and you should be) look closely at how the police behave in your own community. It started there.
Barbara Rose Johns, the teen whose 1951 school walkout helped lead to Brown v. Board of Education, is now being honored with a statue in the U.S. Capitol—replacing Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
