@cspanwj @rachel_schilke Today’s moderator failed at keeping his politics out of the convo.… at least now I know where he stands.

@dbleitzsey @Oilfield_Rando @jlippincott Most definitely, that debt was paid in blood long ago.

But It’s what happened in those years after the Civil War, we had so called black codes and then Jim Crow laws which have had a huge financial impact. I think it’s time that it is made right. that is where I am on this

🚨WOW: The Trump admin. has ENDED the 72-year reign of NOT REQUIRING anyone to prove their citizenship to get taxpayer funds.

"You now have to have a birth date... a citizenship check. That has never existed in the 72-year history."

Birth tourism companies are charging foreign nationals to fly to America, give birth, and walk away with U.S. citizenship for their child.

One is literally called “Have My Baby in Miami.”

Our new @GOPoversight Task Force just launched a formal probe into four of them.

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights That’s nice but I can’t forget that you cancelled remediation for Alabama residents who couldn’t afford septic systems, citing that it was President Trump‘s DEI initiative…that is BS. I do not believe that Trump wanted to undo that settlement. Yeah I said it.

There is literally a Foreigner from Ghana saying he is “shocked” at the need. The reason some Americans don’t have enough to eat is BECAUSE of Mass Immigration. Illegals/Fake Asylum Seekers/TPS get MAX Food Stamp Benefits with 0 Work Requirements.

[Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt]

NYT frames this as if USAID employees had a quasi-property right to high-paying, taxpayer-funded jobs.

In reality, this tells a darker story—we spent half-a-century debt-financing a managerial class of Leftists whose only qualifications were ideological.

@tomricks1 @TheRickWilson No it is not “Selma Time”. I hate this has happened, but these people are not even legal citizens and their plight in no way compares to the atrocities done to black Americans!!

🚨 @CAGovernor and his state were caught red-handed after weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong.

Now that we’ve exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked.

This is just the beginning. California must revoke every illegally issued CDL or I will pull $160 million in federal funds.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1957, Nashville's all-white Hattie Cotton Elementary School was destroyed by dynamite blast when black kids integrated the school.

—On September 9, 1957, as 19 Black six-year-olds integrated all-white elementary schools in Nashville, Tennessee, white church members—including one local minister—organized a persistent and violent campaign to oppose the integration of Nashville public schools. Outside Fehr Elementary School, one person held a sign that read “God is the author of segregation” and pursued two Black children walking to the school. Outside three different elementary schools that same morning, Fred Stroud, a white minister, sought to dissuade white parents from allowing their children to be educated alongside Black children by preaching damnation for those who did not uphold segregation.

The next day, 100 sticks of dynamite were thrown into Hattie Cotton Elementary School and exploded. Patricia Watson, the one Black elementary student who had been in class the previous morning, did not return. No Black children returned to Hattie Cotton Elementary School the following year, and no one faced criminal charges for the bombing.

Though Brown v. Board of Education determined in 1954 that school segregation was unconstitutional, for three years white residents in Nashville relied on intimidation and organized political resistance to maintain segregation in the public schools. In 1957, Nashville finally developed a “stair step program” which permitted a few Black elementary school students to enroll in eight elementary schools in their zones.

Throughout the summer of 1957, white segregationists in Nashville held intimidation rallies to terrorize Black families. In the days leading up to the first day of school, as Black parents pre-registered their children for school, mobs of white church members gathered outside buildings with signs calling segregation the “will of God.” One leader declared that “integration can be reversed” and that “blood will run the streets” before Nashville’s schools were integrated.

By the morning of September 9, out of the 126 Black children eligible to attend all-white elementary schools in their zones, only 19 Black children matriculated. Reverend Stroud gathered crowds at Glenn Elementary to preach about the evils of integration, and white people in cars outside of Jones Elementary held signs emblazoned with KKK iconography and Biblical quotes. As opposition grew throughout the morning, white mobs crowded the sidewalks and threw rocks and bottles at Black children and their parents who attempted to pass through the crowd. By the end of the day, half of the white students at Glenn Elementary School—nearly 250 children—had not arrived, as white parents chose to deny their children education rather than permit them to learn alongside Black children.

That evening, 300 white people gathered downtown and continued to threaten Black families who sent their children to school. They strung an effigy in blackface from a stoplight with a note pinned to its chest that read “this could be you.” As the mob around Fehr Elementary grew to at least 400, white people burned two outbuildings located on the property of a Black family that had sent their daughter to the school. The mob also continued to burn crosses on lawns of Black families who had dared to enroll their students that morning.

@TrumpHaircut @ScottJenningsKY @realDonaldTrump The economic fallout persists though. People always say it was so long ago, but white people never made things right, in fact, they doubled down and did everything to keep them from advancing. It takes a long time to overcome these disparities. The economic data does NOT lie!

@Truth_u_need @TrbLind @backroads_linda @RollingJoe77 @TheTNHoller @JillianMichaels @CNN Rescission of “40 acres and a mule” by Pres. A. Johnson, Black codes, Jim Crow laws, getting denied home loans as provided by the GI bill, lynchings, etc. have decimated families and stymied the acquisition of generational wealth. That’s the history you seem to be missing.
