Bash: "Do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak?"
RFK: "Absolutely not…Did I cause those measles outbreaks?"
Bash: "You're the most famous vaccine skeptic on the planet."
RFK: "The reason we're having a measles outbreak is because of the COVID lockdowns."
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, ESSENCE is honored to unveil the first magazine cover of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic career.
As the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court, there is no better moment to celebrate her extraordinary legacy. Ketanji Brown Jackson represents the American Dream and serves as a powerful voice for those simply seeking the God-given birthrights promised to every American.
We are proud to feature her on the cover of this special double issue of the newly reimagined ESSENCE magazine. Be sure to pick up this historic collector’s edition when it hits newsstands.
Two Black lawmakers were arrested for their opposition against white state legislators eliminating Black representation in the state of Tennessee.
Absolutely insane things are happening in the year 2026.
Slavery in this country lasted 246 years. Jim Crow lasted around 100 years.
Our attempt to remedy the impact of those crimes against humanity was met with white terrorism & savagery.
The laws we finally got passed to address these harms were relentlessly challenged & lasted only 61 years before they were all finally stripped away.
This country has decided that the idea of race can be used to multigenerationally oppress us, but any remedy must be race neutral, which means there can be no remedy.
Never again will I vote for a presidential candidate who is unwilling to admit that America—a country that wouldn’t exist without chattel slavery—is a racist nation. That’s the beginning for me, before we even get to policies & legislation.
Trump’s Supreme Court has gutted the protections that Dr. King marched for.
The protections made possible by civil rights protestors who spilled blood in pursuit of a more perfect union.
This is a devastating and profound step backwards for American Democracy.
