Today we remember James Byrd Jr., dragged to his death by white supremacists because he was Black. His murder gave us the Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Sadly, laws aren't enough. As the Trump regime ignores hate-fueled violence, we must demand it enforce them. #JamesByrdJr

The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said:

"We were able to reach an understanding on some issues, but there remains a gap in views on two or three important issues, and in the end, the talks did not lead to an agreement."

[World Source News @Worldsource24]

Seyed Mohammed Marandi: Obviously, the Trump regime wasn't seriously negotiating.

[World Source News @Worldsource24]

Fars News Agency: Iran has no plans for the next round of talks.

"It seems that the Americans needed the negotiation for their lost reputation in the international arena and were unwilling to lower their expectations despite the failure and deadlock in the war with Iran."

[World Source News @Worldsource24]

U.S. Vice President Vance: We leave here a very simple proposal. A method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it. Thank you.

[World Source News @Worldsource24]

U.S. Vice President Vance: We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon, We haven't seen that yet. We hope that we will.

Going to an HBCU might be better for Black students’ health, according to a recent study

‘At age 62, Black adults who had attended an HBCU had better memory and cognitive function than those who attended a PWI’ https://t.co/09IW1XMERr

From outset of this war, U.S. soldiers fled military bases in GCC to hide in hotels and offices. They use GCC citizens as human shield.

Hotels in U.S. deny bookings to officers who may endanger customers. GCC hotels should do same.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute war crimes exposed. The US military is literally hiding inside civilian hotels and cities across the Persian Gulf to fire HIMARS missiles into Iran because their bases are being destroyed. They are using civilians as human shields!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reynoso: People are saying, “I thought we were going to end wars. Why are we spending $200 billion on a war when we can’t afford housing, when food is expensive, when gas is skyrocketing?”

These same people he talked to, that he used propaganda on, that he sold dreams to, are now feeling the pain. And it would be hard-pressed for you to walk through New York 7 and find the same level of strong MAGA supporters that existed before.

We saw some Latinos and some African Americans moving toward the Republican Party. I think that’s completely gone.

[Rep. Brendan Boyle @CongBoyle]

This morning, I have one question — where is Trump's Budget Director Russell Vought?

The architect of Project 2025 has gone completely missing in front of the Budget Committee, probably because he can't defend the administration's disastrous, unpopular economic record.

Trump’s DOJ has been giving millions in taxpayer money to Trump allies. Scott MacFarlane has the receipts. https://t.co/Q2KhhfBPV1
