Everyone needs to watch @Justinjpearson's floor speech from the TN State House.
"Today, you will take the only Black-majority district from us. But I want you to know: No matter what you do, no matter how much you try to break us & make us bend & quit — we will still be here."
It’s so weird that every time SCOTUS declares racism to be no more than the Ghost of Voter Suppression Past, a bunch of states leap at the chance to do more racist voter suppression.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
With a net approval rating of -43, Donald Trump has surpassed Richard Nixon's final approval rating of -42 to become the most unpopular president in modern history.
Nixon posted his eye-popping -42 net approval in the final poll of his presidency, between 8/2-8/5 of 1974.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction —
“This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.”
He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.”
“attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

Trump just threatened to wipe out an entire civilization.
We cannot let war make us lose sight of our humanity.
We cannot forget that Iranian children are children of God too.
We cannot allow war crimes to be committed in our name.
Congress must act now.
After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide.
It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.
A powerful commentary by Sky News US correspondent, @jamesmatthewsky on the increasingly erratic and thuggish behaviour displayed by Donald Trump. It’s refreshing to hear a mainstream media journalist speak out like this rather than turning a blind eye.
The acts committed by Cesar Chavez against girls and women are reprehensible. I hope the victims are able to find the justice and peace they deserve. The movement that Cesar Chavez helped lead was always larger than one person or legacy. As with most things, progress is an ensemble effort. The faces in the news aren’t the totality of the movement. The celebration of that progress toward justice, fair wages, and civil rights continues. The tributes to the man, however, should not. Therefore, we should begin a public community process to rename tributes to Cesar Chavez’s legacy.
On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.
We won the war with the Gorn on the first day basically, but it will probably last 6-8 weeks. They should just surrender and absolutely NOT MINE THE WORMHOLE!! That would be a BIG MISTAKE! #StarTrek#Sisko197
