Extremists are trying to erase our history so that they will not have to account for it. Please sign the petition to support the National Museum of African American History and Culture from Trump’s war on truth.

Julian Bond, kept a clutch of notecards excerpting passages from the thinkers/activists informing his work & guiding his actions. Frederick Douglass was chief among them. Here is a screenshot of one card from the collection.

in political activism in the broadest spectrum. This is not simply election-day doorbell ringing, but the more important task of building constituencies of common interest that can force change through their votes, through their measured feet marching in the streets." 2/

Julian Bond's words remain alive and resonant for practically every urgency of this moment. He remained invested in youth activism throughout his career. Writing in "The Kent State Massacre," he notes:

Not only is the password on Hegseth's Russian email address the same as his verified personal Gmail account but the phone verification number for the Russian email is a +7 country code (Russia).

Why does Hegseth have a Russian phone number?

A hot mess. What a travesty for any university to ruin their reputation to bow down to an autocrat. She needed to go but damage is done not just for Columbia but for all of higher ed.

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown University Medical School—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, and has committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon** (one of the most difficult surgical fields in all of medicine!!!), she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants, which cannot be easily replaced. Her phone was seized at the border. A federal judge handed down an injunction against her deportation—but she was already deported on a plane en route to Paris. Brown’s kidney transplant clinic is now strained by her deportation.
