A woman in Alaska captured footage of a massive, jellyfish-shaped UFO with dangling tentacle-like extensions hovering near a U.S. military base before mysteriously disappearing just minutes later.

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY

100 years ago, thirteen black men put together their savings and founded Safe Bus Company, making it the largest black owned bus company at that time. It was formed in Winston-Salem to serve the black neighborhoods due to segregation and operated till 1972. Thirteen Black men pooled their life savings to purchase $100,000 in stock, forming Safe Bus Co., Inc. on May 26, 1926. The company quickly grew into the largest African American–owned bus company in the nation. Safe Bus expanded rapidly and was once described as the largest Black-owned transportation company in the world. By 1955, the company grossed $825,000. At its peak, it carried approximately 15,000 passengers per day, earned $18,000 weekly, and employed 75 people. Early fares began at five cents and increased as the company expanded. The fleet grew from 35 to 42 buses, serving roughly 20 percent of the city. Black bus drivers earned between $1.60 and $2.50 per hour—wages that exceeded those of many schoolteachers at the time. By 1968, Safe Bus provided transportation across the entire city. However, following integration, the company experienced a sharp decline in ridership. Changing social attitudes and increased competition led to significant financial losses. In 1972, stockholders voted to sell Safe Bus to the city. The Winston-Salem Transit Authority then assumed responsibility for public transportation, marking the end of one of the most successful Black-owned transit companies in American history.

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced that the fatal police shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley was "justified," meaning the involved officer will not face criminal charges. The tragedy occurred on June 14, 2026, in a Senatobia Walmart parking lot during a police response to a shoplifting call. State authorities claim the officer fired because the driver drove toward police and nearly struck an officer. In contrast, the child's family denies shoplifting or driving at police, stating the mother held the baby up to show officers a child was inside. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump heavily criticized the ruling and demanded the immediate public release of body-camera and surveillance footage

Doesn’t matter if you’re a baby, or a teenager. If you are Black, you’re either a threat, and/or your murder is justified and celebrated. Justice for Kohen Wiley and Nolan Wells. Neither of you deserved this‼️
