In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant
All children born in the penitentiary became property of the state
At 10 years they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white kids #BlackHistoryMonth

Americans could’ve gotten $25,000 to buy their first home but instead they are getting tariffs that will make homes even more unaffordable and harder to build all to feed the ego of a lunatic who wants them to feel pain
My message to all FBI agents and federal prosecutors who are being wrongfully fired by Trump: come see me about a job. We are hiring at the AZ Attorney General’s office and we actually support law enforcement. https://t.co/hGhRjusTWv
Black history is American history.
Our music, art, sports, literature, leadership, resistance, and resilience are fundamental to the fabric of our nation and the progress that we fight for.
This month and every month, we celebrate Black history, and we continue our fight for justice and equality for every American.
Trump starts pointless trade war.
Canada threatens to retaliate by withholding electricity from the US.
Trump’s press sec says this is fine because Jesus didn’t have electricity.
Literally the dumbest possible timeline.
Eggs UP
Taxes UP
Gas UP
RX drugs UP
Dow Jones DOWN
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block.
Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.
From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.
A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.
Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America.
He didn't blame Bush.
He didn't blame Reagan.
He was just consoled America.
A REAL Commander in Chief.
