From the classroom to the world stage! 🌎

Give it up for @PS22Chorus, who had the incredible honor of performing at the FIFA #WorldCup Final Halftime Show. ⚽️🏆

We couldn’t be prouder of our talented students! 👏💙

Tomorrow is a BIG day for all New Yorkers, especially paras and their students.

All eyes are on @NYCCouncil. At 10:30 a.m., the Labor Committee votes whether to vote the para RESPECT check bill out of committee. If that happens, the bill will be voted by the full Council at 1:30 p.m.

Keep a close eye on our social media pages for real-time updates throughout the day. It’s time for RESPECT!

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo woke up at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, kissed his wife goodbye and drove off to pick up his construction crew just like he had done every day for 35 years. He never saw his family again. An ICE agent shot and killed him during a vehicle stop in Houston. ICE has since confirmed he was not even the target of their operation. He was a husband, a father and a hard worker. How many more families have to bury their loved ones before this stops? This is WRONG! Justice for Lorenzo!

A star is born. This is Marshawn Camese. He is brilliant. He needs to run for office. Watch him eviscerate a Louisiana MAGA state representative. Looooove him!

George E. Johnson built more than a hair care empire. He built proof that a $250 loan and the will to keep going can put a Black-owned company on the American Stock Exchange for the first time in history. That is the American dream, realized on our own terms. Afro Sheen. Ultra Sheen. Those weren't just products. They told us our hair, our look, our culture was worth celebrating. Mr. Johnson has passed at 99, but what he built keeps building. Rest in power.

Don Lemon on Trump: “He is so jealous of Barack Obama, he cannot stand it. He will never have the class, the grace, the good looks, the education, the beautiful family, the beautiful wife. You have the nerve to think you’re better than Barack Obama when your wife had just had a baby and you’re out banging a porn star? Man, get the fuck out of here with that”

Cariol Horne stopped a fellow cop from choking a handcuffed Black man in 2006. Buffalo PD fired her for it in 2008 just one year before her pension.
She fought for 14 years. In 2021, a judge restored her pension and Buffalo passed “Cariol’s Law,” requiring officers to intervene against excessive force.
Real hero who paid the price but never gave up. Legend. 👏🏾

BREAKING NEWS: With broken hearts and profound sadness, the family of two-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and balladeer, Peabo Bryson, announces his passing.

Internationally celebrated as the legendary voice behind the Oscar-winning Disney classics “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World,” Peabo also captivated audiences through timeless R&B classics, including “Feel the Fire,” “I’m So Into You,” “Can You Stop the Rain,” “If Ever You’re In My Arms Again" and "Reaching for the Sky” among many others.

He transitioned peacefully at 5:00 p.m. ET on the evening of Tuesday, June 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family and those closest to him.

His music carried generations through joyful celebrations, great love stories and enduring moments of comfort and inspiration, creating a legacy that will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him and the countless lives he touched through song.

In this deeply difficult moment, the family asks for privacy as they mourn the loss of a beloved husband, father, family member, friend and artist whose impact extended far beyond the stage.

“We are tremendously moved by the outpouring of love, prayers and support from fans, friends, and colleagues around the world,” the family shared. “While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing how deeply Peabo was loved and how many lives were touched by his voice and his generous spirit. His legacy and music will live on for generations to come.”

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude for the compassion shown during this time and asks for continued privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss. They remain deeply appreciative of the prayers, love and support from around the world.

I feel compelled to post this banger of a clip showing Barbara Walters humiliate trump to his face, as a reminder to reporters: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM CALLING YOU "DUMMY."

This is outstanding. 👏👏👏

Tia and Jasmin Criss, seniors at Cheyney University, the oldest historically Black university in the country, are less than two weeks away from graduating as valedictorian and salutatorian.

Just three minutes older than Jasmine, Tia said the honors of being named class valedictorian and salutatorian "just happened."

The twin sisters are graduates of Philadelphia High School for Girls. They credit their parents for giving them the discipline to aim high.
