"IT'S PART OF THE BLUEPRINT OF TRUMP'S PROJECT 2025."

BOOOOM!!! EVERY AMERICAN MUST SEE THIS:

Hakeem Jeffries just exposed the bullshit of the so-called SAVE Act, which is really an extreme MAGA Republican voter suppression bill.

"You can't fool the American people; they're smarter than you think."

"We know what you really want to do."

The New York Court of Appeals has ruled to uphold a state law that bans police from using chokeholds or sitting, kneeling or standing on someone’s torso during an arrest. The law, passed after the murder of George Floyd, is absolutely crucial! 👏🏾 https://t.co/Sq9SsunuAL

Remaining informed of best and innovative practices allows Trustees to gain the perspective required to manage and assess institutional culture and its readiness for change.

Damien Pickett, the co-captain in the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl, was just on #RolandMartinUnfiltered. He has been charged with assault. He said he does not have an attorney so live on the air, I called @attorneycrump and he said once Damien calls or texts him, 1/2

You learn very quickly that there is no handbook or rules to being First Lady. Technically, it’s not even an official position. And while there are spoken and unspoken expectations that provide some structure, the role is largely shaped by the passions and aspirations of the person holding it.

First Lady Rosalynn Carter understood that well.

Guided by her abiding faith and her commitment to service, Mrs. Carter used her platform in profoundly meaningful ways. Her groundbreaking work to combat the stigma faced by those struggling with their mental health brought light to so many suffering in silence. She advocated for better care for the elderly. She advanced women’s rights. And she remained a champion for those causes — and many others like building affordable housing for those in need and caring for our nation’s caregivers — in the more than four decades that followed.

When our family was in the White House, every so often, Rosalynn would join me for lunch, offering a few words of advice and always — always — a helping hand. She reminded me to make the role of First Lady my own, just like she did. I’ll always remain grateful for her support and her generosity.

Today, Barack and I join the world in celebrating the remarkable legacy of a First Lady, philanthropist, and advocate who dedicated her life to lifting up others. Her life is a reminder that no matter who we are, our legacies are best measured not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch. We send our thoughts and prayers to Jimmy and the entire Carter family during this difficult time.

16 incarcerated individuals recently graduated from the Northwestern University Prison Education Program — marking the FIRST time a top-ranked U.S. university awarded degrees to students in prison! Incarceration and setbacks didn’t stop them from pursuing their dreams!

25-yo Khalil Watson received his associate’s degree by walking across Reynolds Community College’s stage with the help of a robotic exoskeleton — almost 7 years after he was shot and left paralyzed. His determination to earn his degree and walk again is awe-inspiring! 🎓💪🏾 🎥: @CBS6
