@FreddyLA7 The US is not perfect by any means, by the diversity in the people, foods and cultures make it so unique. Thank you for reminding us what we can keep aspiring to be.

Released in 1975, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was an animated television special directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones and based on the classic story by Rudyard Kipling.

The story follows a brave mongoose who takes on two deadly cobras to protect the family that rescued him. For a generation of kids, it was one of those rare animated films that felt genuinely intense. The stakes were real, the villains were terrifying, and you couldn't help but root for Rikki-Tikki every step of the way.

More than 50 years later, it's still remembered as one of the finest animated adaptations ever put on television.

Did you watch Rikki-Tikki-Tavi growing up?

@GeauxDuck As a Stanford fan, not gonna lie, I distinctly remember saying why would you run while saying we just need a chance…

My favorite weird Ken Paxton story: H-E-B donated a Christmas cake for his office to share. Paxton allegedly claimed it was for his birthday, then walked out carrying the cake box.

He stole cake from his own staff.

This was shortly after she took Ken back and supported him during his impeachment trial where one of the charges was that someone his office was investigating got the case dropped after he remodeled Ken’s other mistresses’ kitchen. Ken started a new affair not long after.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America. 

He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

The medical staff at the hospital noticed a Black woman before they recognized a life-threatening brain injury.
In 1979, legendary entertainer Della Reese collapsed live on television right after singing about placing her spirit into the hands of God. The studio audience applauded, genuinely believing the fall was part of her dramatic performance. It was not. A blood vessel inside her brain had ruptured, and with every passing minute, the internal bleeding grew more dangerous. Yet, instead of rushing to treat one of the nation's most recognizable stars, medical professionals let racial biases dictate their response. One hospital blamed her weight for the collapse, while another spent precious time searching for drugs. To them, an unconscious Black entertainer fitted a stereotype more easily than a medical emergency. While her brain was actively bleeding, doctors were looking for traces of cocaine.
Hours slipped away before the real medical crisis was finally uncovered. Della Reese nearly lost her life simply because the people in white coats failed to look past their own prejudice long enough to properly diagnose her condition.
This harrowing event is a piece of her history that rarely gets told. The public easily remembers her glamorous voice, her warm laughter, her elegance, and her iconic role on the hit television series Touched by an Angel. But long before she became a household name, she was a young Black girl growing up in Detroit who survived deep poverty, segregation, profound family tragedy, and systemic industry racism.
Born in 1931 in Detroit's historic Black Bottom neighborhood, she began singing in church as a young child and was touring with gospel royalty Mahalia Jackson while still a teenager. This early exposure taught her a harsh lesson that Black talent could easily fill massive concert halls while Black humanity was still treated as entirely disposable. During the 1960s, television networks expected Black vocalists to perform their musical numbers and immediately exit the screen. There was no invitation to sit on the couch and absolutely no equal treatment.
Della Reese decided to rewrite those rules. Talk show host Merv Griffin broke conventions by inviting her to sit beside him for an interview on live television, a move that was practically unheard of for a Black woman during that era. Five years later, Johnny Carson handed her the reins to the host chair on The Tonight Show, marking the first time in history a Black woman guest hosted late night television. That single milestone cracked open a door for countless generations of entertainers to follow.
Even so, immense professional success never shielded her from the realities of racism, whether in hospital rooms or Hollywood studios. Decades later, while starring in Touched by an Angel, she publicly took a stand against CBS after discovering she was earning significantly less than her white co star. She refused to stay silent, and suddenly the network managed to find the budget they had previously claimed did not exist.
Through it all, she never stopped using her voice, never stopped leaning on her faith, and never stopped surviving. Her narrative remains incredibly vital today because she was never just auditioning for public applause. She was constantly fighting to be recognized as a full human being in a society that routinely tried to reduce Black women to lazy assumptions. She outlasted the cutthroat industry, survived rampant prejudice, and outlived a brain aneurysm that doctors nearly ignored, spending the remainder of her life empowering Black women to never let the misguided assumptions of the world dictate their worth.

A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real

These gerrymandered maps only work if we don’t show up.

That is what they are counting on.

These maps will break under the pressure of turnout.

John Lewis was my parishioner.

He had no reason to think that he would win when he was crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge.

But he just kept walking.

We must keep walking.
