Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.

She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

The past isn’t past.

This video of Barack and Michelle Obama meeting 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin will never stop mattering.

Born in segregated South Carolina in 1909, she once wrote: “I didn’t think I would live to see a Colored President.”

When her dream finally came true, she danced through the White House and declared: “I’m here to celebrate Black history.”

She lived long enough to see history change. ❤️

America's most famous suburb sold 17,000 houses with a whites-only rule. When one Black family finally bought in, a mob laid siege to their home for WEEKS.

Levittown. The mass-produced postwar dream — built with federal backing under exactly the lending doctrine we showed you this morning. Its developer was open about the policy: the company would sell houses to white families, and racial progress was somebody else's business.

August 1957: William and Daisy Myers, a veteran's family, bought a house in Levittown, Pennsylvania.

The response: crowds of hundreds outside their windows night after night. Rocks through the glass. Crosses burned. A house next door converted into a harassment clubhouse, Confederate flag flying, music blasted at all hours.

The Myers family wasn't attacked because they had done anything wrong. They were attacked because they dared to live where they had been told they didn't belong.

And the violence didn't come from some distant past. It happened in a neighborhood built around the promise of the American dream.

This is why our book documents up to 150 cases of racial violence, intimidation, injustice, and crimes that were never truly answered for.

They wanted these stories forgotten. We chose to document them. Get yours https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

Leaked phone call reveals plot against Winthrop University professor for previous complaints of racial discrimination.

Listen as the HR manager talks to their lawyer to determine a way to allegedly block Lewis from applying for a higher position.

This is why we need to make sure we have two sets of eyes on select demographics in academics.

They go to church on Sunday to be have their conscience seared with a hot iron just to go back out into society and do evil. This is not wild at all.

[Police The Police 2.0 @PoliceThePolic1]

🚨 Ohio cops handcuffed a 14-year-old Black boy sitting on his front porch, claiming he “matched the description” of a man suspected of stealing cars.

But once they arrested the real suspect, he looked nothing like the child they had detained.

A 16-year-old girl forged notes to trick her principal out of the building, called a secret assembly, and led 450 students out on strike. Her walkout helped end school segregation in America.

Virginia's revenge: it CLOSED THE SCHOOLS. For FIVE YEARS.

Barbara Johns. Farmville, Virginia, 1951. Her "school" was tar-paper shacks with stoves that smoked and roofs that leaked while the white school gleamed across town. So she out-organized the adults: forged summonses, emptied the office, took the stage, and called the strike.

The NAACP turned her walkout into one of the five cases folded into Brown v. Board.

And when integration finally came due, Prince Edward County answered with the nuclear option: it shut down its ENTIRE public school system from 1959 to 1964, rather than comply.

White children got tuition grants to private "academies." Black children got NOTHING — roughly 1,700 kids locked out of education for five years. A generation carries the gap in its bones to this day. The Supreme Court had to order the schools reopened.

A teenager's courage, a county's scorched-earth spite, a lost generation no one answered for.

Virginia is now replacing Robert E. Lee's statue in the U.S. Capitol, with Barbara Johns.

Twenty-four AI data centers. That's how many are proposed in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, one of the most protected natural regions in the state. ⛰️

They want to put them next to state parks, nature preserves, and waterways rated "Exceptional Value," 80% of all of it in the entire state, sitting right here in the Poconos.

In Archbald, a former coal town, Borough Manager Dan Markey publicly said the zoning just followed developer "requests."

Privately, when his own consultant asked how the map was actually drawn, he admitted it in writing: the lines were the developers' own property lines, drawn to match exactly what they wanted to build on.

Two of those developers, Western Hospitality and Green Mountain 6 LLC, were registered months apart through the exact same Denver law firm, signed by the exact same paralegal. Both are tied to Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, the nation's top-grossing lobbying firm, which also represents NVIDIA.

Between them and others, six separate data center campuses are now proposed in this one small town, enough buildings between just three of them to equal 50 Walmart superstores.

One proposed site sits just outside Jim Thorpe, a town known for whitewater rafting and a scenic tourist railway. Another sits behind a resort and water park. Another overlooks a vista once used as a gathering place for Native American tribal leaders.

Rich Troscianecki spent a decade searching for the right place to retire. He found it on the Lehigh River, an Exceptional Value waterway with otters, beavers, and eagles nearby. Now a proposed data center site sits half a mile from his home, on a 530-acre former quarry next to a 2,500-acre nature preserve of forest and glacial wetlands.

"Exceptional Value" isn't just a nice phrase. It's Pennsylvania's own highest water protection rating, reserved for streams and wetlands considered irreplaceable.

Pennsylvania's constitution promises clean air, clean water, and "the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment." Nobody's ever really tested that promise against an entire industry before. This might be the case that finally does.

Why do you think they keep coming for the most pristine places this country has left, the forests, the wetlands, the shorebirds, the exceptional water, instead of the parking lots that already have the infrastructure?

In 1968, CBS aired a documentary called Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed. One segment showed something uncomfortable: side-by-side comparisons of famous European artists and the African sculptures they copied. Paul Klee. Picasso. Modigliani. One after another. The African artists? Unnamed. Uncredited. Called "primitive." The European copies? Displayed in museums. Taught in schools. Called genius. Bill Cosby said it plainly: "When you look at this copying, you gotta give us a little more than rhythm. You gotta give us style."

The Bureau of Land Management just approved an AI data center on public land.

Never been done before.

Not through a real environmental review either. They dug up an old solar farm's approval from 2023 and decided it counted for a completely different project. No new review. No public comment period. No public say at all.

The site sits on desert tortoise habitat outside Boulder City, Nevada, three miles from residents' homes.

The company behind it is Skylar Capital Management, a Texas hedge fund.

Its water will come from the Colorado River Basin.

The same river that gives nearly 40 million people across seven states their drinking water.

The same river where farmers and ranchers use almost 80 percent of the supply, and it's already so short that farmers this year left fields unplanted and ranchers are shrinking their cattle herds just to survive the season.

The same river so overdrawn that seven states have spent months failing to agree on how to split what's left, and this week, the federal government takes that decision out of their hands entirely.

The same river where Navajo, Hopi, and Paiute nations have waited 118 years for water they were legally promised back in 1908, while states actively fight to block them from getting it.

Now a hedge fund wants a straw in that river too, for a server farm.

Who decided an AI data farm needs water more than the 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River? 💧

They're the largest living things on Earth. Some of them have been standing since before Rome was a republic. 🌳

Now Congress wants to "save" them. By logging them.

It's called the "Save Our Sequoias Act." And it does the opposite of what it says. S. 4103 just passed the House and sits in the Senate right now, and it would let logging companies cut down mature, thousand year old sequoias, no limit on how many, no limit on their size or age.

It does this by carving out a new exemption from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), our bedrock law requiring environmental review and public input before major logging projects.

It wouldn't stop at the groves. The bill also amends the Wilderness Act itself, opening the door to human intervention (planting, "vegetation control," possible roads) inside land that's supposed to stay untouched by law.

This applies inside Yosemite. Inside Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Inside the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Inside land Congress designated as Wilderness specifically to keep humans out.

Who do you trust more to keep a 2,000 year old tree alive? The forest that's survived every fire for two millennia, or a logging company with a 3,000 acre permit and no one watching? 🌳 What are your thoughts? Sound off below👇

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South.
he original courageous Freedom Riders movement began in 1961.

The first group, organized by Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), had 13 original Freedom Riders:
• 7 Black riders
• 6 white riders

They left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961, riding interstate buses into the Deep South to challenge segregation in bus terminals after Supreme Court rulings had already declared it unconstitutional.

After brutal mob attacks in Alabama, including the firebombing of a bus in Anniston and savage beatings in Birmingham and Montgomery, more activists joined. The movement quickly expanded beyond the original 13.

By the end of 1961, more than 400 Freedom Riders had participated across the South. Many were arrested and sent to Mississippi’s notorious Parchman Prison.

Hezekiah Watkins
At just 13 years old, Watkins became the youngest Freedom Rider ever arrested. His involvement happened almost by accident when he went to the Jackson, Mississippi, Greyhound station to see the riders arrive. In the chaos, he was swept up by police and sent to the notorious Parchman State Penitentiary. Initially placed on death row to intimidate him, he spent several days in the prison before being released. This traumatic experience did not deter him; he went on to become a lifelong activist, dedicated to educating others about the struggle for justice in Mississippi.

Joan Trumpauer Mulholland
A rare figure in the movement, Mulholland was a white woman from a privileged Southern background who turned her back on social expectations to fight for racial equality. By the time she joined the Freedom Rides, she was already a seasoned activist involved in sit-ins. In 1961, she was imprisoned in Parchman for over two months. She later became the first white student to enroll at Tougaloo College, a historically Black institution, and was a primary organizer for the 1963 March on Washington. She famously survived a near-lynching during the Woolworth’s lunch counter sit-in.

Ameen Tuunagane (Willie James)
Known during the movement as Willie James, Tuunagane was a relentless civil rights organizer and Freedom Rider. He was part of the waves of activists who traveled to Jackson, Mississippi, to challenge Jim Crow laws. His work extended far beyond the buses; he was deeply involved in voter registration drives and community organizing, often operating in high-risk areas where the threat of police and vigilante violence was constant. His commitment focused on the intersection of political power and basic human dignity.

Carol Ruth Silver
A recent law school graduate at the time, Silver joined the Freedom Rides to put her legal principles into practice. She was arrested in Jackson and, like many others, served time in Parchman Penitentiary. During her incarceration, she kept a secret diary on scraps of paper, documenting the harrowing conditions and the psychological tactics used by guards. Her later career was defined by this experience; she became a prominent lawyer and politician in San Francisco, continuing her advocacy for civil rights and educational reform for decades.

Kredelle Pettway
Pettway was a dedicated activist who participated in the movement during the height of the 1960s racial tensions. As a young woman, she joined the ranks of those demanding the desegregation of public facilities in Alabama and Mississippi. Her contribution highlights the essential role of local youth and women in maintaining the momentum of the movement. She faced the constant threat of the Ku Klux Klan and state-sanctioned violence, standing firm in the belief that the "separate but equal" doctrine was a moral and legal failure.

Police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley on the false claim his mother stole diapers. His killer is on paid leave & his ID is hidden.

Police killed 7-year-old Aiyana Jones as she slept in her living room. Her murderer Joseph Weekley walked free.

Police killed 11-year-old Tamir Rice as he played in a park. HIs murderer Timothy Loehmann walked free.

America's carceral system treats Black children like chattel because the system isn't broken—it's working exactly as intended. And that's the problem.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

The cops murdered a 1-year-old baby in Mississippi after someone falsely accused his mother of shoplifting from Walmart.

Even if the diapers were stolen that is no justification for cops to murder anyone let alone a child, but she had a receipt.

A baby is dead because of a shoot-first, murderous cop AND a racist person who profiled a Black mother and called the police over diapers that she didn’t even steal.
