Elizabeth Eckford is 84 and still with us, a living reminder that history isn't always ancient. At 15, she became one of the Little Rock Nine, walking alone into Central High in 1957 while facing a screaming mob of segregationists. She later graduated from Central State Univ.
A Black baby doll hanging by a cord inside a Florida classroom is not a “joke," it evokes the painful history of terror and lynching in America. Our children deserve classrooms that uplift, protect, and respect the dignity of every student!
Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be?
I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

So Republican Alabama Rep.Barry Moore held a town hall in Baldwin County where he was asked why immigrants aren’t getting due process & he said they aren’t allowed it & his constituents let him know he was full of crap & it’s a violation of the Constitution & he fled out the back
The parents of Alex Pretti have retained a former federal prosecutor who helped Minnesota's attorney general convict the police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck of murder. https://t.co/He9sG7TxTZ
Stella Carlson, seen wearing the pink jacket while recording Alex Pretti’s shooting, stood firm and risked her own safety to ensure his death wasn’t buried in silence. Her bravery is incredibly important because so often, it's everyday people who become the guardians of justice and transparency.
Rep. Ilhan Omar is a badass for staying to finish her speech after that f*cking asshole took a run at her and sprayed her with something. Minnesota strong.
trump needs to act like a damn President and stop targeting her IMMEDIATELY.
BREAKING: A group of Maine nurses just showed up at Susan Collins’ office to demand she vote against funding ICE following ICE’s killing of nurse Alex Pretti. This is what solidarity looks like. This is power.
Her name is Bohlale Mphahlele. Not 16 year old girl. The headline should read :
Bohlale Mphahlele, at merely 16 years of age, has invented something to protect all women everywhere. She’s a legend.
When this sermon went viral years ago, one of my CLOSEST, white evangelical friends told me, “Dewey, this sermon was pathetic!” After MUCH debate, we agreed to disagree! THIS morning, he sent me this clip & said, “Dewey, I was wrong, Dr. Jeremiah Wright was prophetic!”. I’m still chuckling! Please KNOW that you can both love AND criticize America simultaneously!
The Battle of Minneapolis is far from over. But Trump... flinched. The People are doing what the law and the Democrats cannot: defending thier rights and the rights of others.
