@WonderKing82 I'm not advocating Biden do anything illegal. I'm advocating that we not act like this is normal, he's normal. We have to act accordingly w/o being jerks. The transfer of power doesn't require pleasantries we've come to expect.

[Leigh Micheline True @leighmtrue]

@WonderKing82 No. He doesn't have2 invite him & take photos when, 4 months, the message has been he's a threat 2 democracy. It's like knowing person A is abusing B & inviting A 2 the cookout like it's all cool. It comes off as ... can't think of the right word right now. It's not right.

@MailOnline Stupid app doesn't have an edit function. Someone pointed out that I misread. It's the grandfather that's N the home, not the kid's dad. Still. Not sure it's fair 4 1 adult N the home 2 take all blame w/o more info. I get Y, not sure it's fair. I've lived in a multi-gen home.

[Leigh Micheline True @leighmtrue]

@eeyorelovwhite @MailOnline *facepalm* Reading too fast. Thanks for that. I still feel like if there are 2 adults in the home, why is one taking all the blame? I mean, I know why. I'm not sure it's fair.

Harriet Tubman continues to be the North Star in our journey toward justice.

Yesterday's posthumous promotion of Harriet Tubman to the rank of General honors her legacy as one of the great authors of the American story.

Some of the post-mortens discuss voters wanting something new & shaking things up. If true, these guys solve this problem how exactly?

Democrats are already talking about 2028:

Josh Shapiro is already fielding calls from Democratic Party leaders in Pennsylvania urging him to run for president. Gavin Newsom held a Friday call with about 50,000 people in his small-donor network and called a special legislative session designed to Trump-proof California. And Pete Buttigieg is set to tout his Cabinet accomplishments in a series of events as he winds down his official role. https://t.co/afld1oFXIe

[Leigh Micheline True @leighmtrue]

@Aries_Flame_ @SomaKazima Agreed! Her facial expression are money. I was dying laughing.

[Leigh Micheline True @leighmtrue]

@A3Branden @SomaKazima Would've started crying right then. She wasn't lying.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

In 1938, Lloyd Gaines filed a lawsuit after being denied admission to the University of Missouri Law School in 1935 because he was black.

The Court ruled in his favor & required Missouri to admit him or set up a black law school.

He disappeared 3 months later never to be found.

—Lloyd Lionel Gaines was born to the Gaines family in northern Mississippi in 1911. One of eleven children, seven of whom survived illness and accident, he moved with his widowed mother and siblings to St. Louis after the premature death of their father. They found a better, although not easy, life for themselves in Missouri. Gaines excelled in his studies graduating as valedictorian in 1931 from Vashon High School. At Lincoln University in Jefferson City, he graduated with honors and was President of the senior class, while participating in many extra-curricular activities and working to pay for his schooling.
Despite his outstanding scholastic record, the University of Missouri School of Law denied Gaines admittance in 1936 solely on the grounds that Missouri's Constitution called for "separate education of the races." By state law, Missouri would have been required to pay for Gaines to attend the Universities in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, but Gaines was determined to fight for the right to attend law school in his own state university. He sought legal assistance from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), which had been working systematically to overturn the ignominious precedent of "separate but equal" established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Together, they challenged the University of Missouri's admissions policies. In 1938, Gaines won his case before the United States Supreme Court in State of Missouri ex rel Gaines v. Canada, paving the way for a series of cases that would lead to Brown v. Board of Education's outlawing segregation in public education. In March 1939, only three months after his Supreme Court victory, Lloyd Gaines was last seen in Chicago. He disappeared at age 28 with his promise of attending law school in Missouri unfilfilled. Lloyd Gaines was never to be seen or heard from again.
