Former enslaved Black Americans in Charleston,South Carolina organized what is recognized as the first Memorial Day on 5/1/1865. They exhumed the bodies of Union soldiers in mass graves at a Confederate prison camp to give them proper individual burials.Then they had a parade.

Regular panelist @keithboykin says @ScottJenningsKY should be fired from the @abbydphillip @CNN show for his temper tantrum towards @adammocklerr tonight👇🏽

(For context, Mockler has made a habit out of arguing circles around Jennings)

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Louisiana’s GOP governor just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY to CANCEL an election.

Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district.

They’re not even hiding it. MAGA is rigging elections to silence YOU.

Christopher Newman says Harvard had him escorted off campus after he pushed for deeper research into the university’s ties to slavery and descendant communities in Antigua. Harvard’s historical ties to slavery are well documented, including our legal battle over daguerreotypes in its possession depicting Tamara Lanier’s enslaved ancestors. Truth to power means confronting history fully, not silencing those who seek it! https://t.co/qQYKurLkla

This was the moment that convinced me it was a staged event...

How else do you explain the flag being lowered perfectly into position, as if the entire scene had been frozen until the flag was in place for that ideal photograph?

What Trump just unfroze for Iran vs. what Obama unfroze

[DulceBiatch @BiatchDulce]

Is it jusy me or is that ear completely intact?
Not even Wolverine heals that fast.

“Since the attempt on his life, Trump has show [sic] no interest in investigating what really happened. He never mentions it, it’s as if it never happened, except when he tells us, he took a bullet for us.” https://t.co/c1oMzWYuiN

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

Really looking forward to MAGA explaining why Trump paying $20B, for Iran to give up their uranium, is somehow better than Obama paying just $1.7B for the same thing.

Excluding the thousands of deaths and billions in military costs, naturally.

[Jake Shields @jakeshieldsajj]

That is 3 times as much as Obama lol

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: I can confirm with 99% confidence that the reason Melania Trump came out yesterday with her Epstein Statement is because of information possessed by a former friend, and Epstein survivor, Brazilian Model Amanda Ungaro.

Ungaro was also the partner of Trump admin official Paolo Zampolli, who she alleges had her deported. They have a son together. Paolo Zampolli also claims to have introduced Trump to Melania.

Amanda is a victim of Epstein's and was brought to the US from Paris by her modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel when was 17. She had a 20 year friendship with Melania.

Remember her name. You will be hearing so much about her in the coming weeks that Trump will likely Nuke Iran over it.

As the Pentagon purges some minorities and women from high-ranking positions, the message being sent to lower-ranking officers is that “they will be assessed on the basis of their gender, race, or politics, rather than their abilities,” @AdamSerwer writes: https://t.co/qwyfrXYaA5

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 and soon after, Enslaved people were escaping to Mexico. The U.S. tried to get Mexico to sign a fugitive slave treaty to return escapees but Mexico refused to sign such a treaty, insisting that enslaved people were free once they set foot on Mexican soil.

Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico?

Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico.

To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery.

Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento.

Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

His OWN FUCKING RESERVE CHAIR just CONFIRMED this is a COMPLETE FUCKING LIE stating there is actually ZERO NET JOB CREATION in the private sector! The gaslighting by this guy is unfucking REAL!
