Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
I, Too
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
BREAKING: Jared Kushner hits a MASSIVE snag with his corrupt Albania resort as villagers reveal that the land he's using is disputed — meaning he doesn't have the right to build at all.
This was the last thing that he and Ivanka expected...
"I was ready to get a rifle and start shooting. I was a small boy when I put my feet in that water. Now I am an old man and they say I cannot," said Kostaq Konomi, an 81-year-old villager who tried to access land that he has long owned only to discover barbed wire and uniformed men blocking access.
The land belongs to him but has been cordoned off as Kushner and his crooked business partners move forward with building a sprawling resort for the pedophiles, war criminals, and money launderers of the Epstein Class.
Konomi is one of a dozen villagers from Zvernec who claim that their land was "wrongfully sold for development" by Artur Shehu, a rival legal claimant according to Reuters. These individuals were able to produce property deeds and tax records to support their claims. None of them were paid when their land was seized. Their attorney revealed that they will be filing a court order to halt the project.
In other words, the region that Kushner and his partner are developing is simultaneously claimed by the man that "sold" them the land and these villagers who claim to rightfully own it. This dispute is the basis of the ongoing legal fight, meaning that the land could not have possibly been sold legitimately.
This revelation adds a perhaps insurmountable stumbling block to what was already an embattled project. Protests have swept the country over the past month as Albanians took to the streets to voice their opposition to Kushner's plutocratic endeavor. The backlash has been nicknamed the "Flamingo Revolution" because the project endangers the protected habitats of several wildlife species.
Not only that, but the European Union has warned Albania that the development may complicate its bid to join the EU because it violates crucial environmental rules.
The fight is not yet over, but the proud Albanian people are gaining ground by the day. They are going to show the world that their country belongs to them, not the rich, entitled perverts of the global oligarchy!
Please ❤️ and share if you stand with the people of Albania!
BREAKING: THANK YOU! Music legend Sheryl Crow shreds Trump's UFC fight on the White House lawn and the smear of Michelle Obama as "disgraceful" in a scathing takedown.
She put into words EXACTLY what we're all feeling...
"To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency," the singer wrote on her Instagram story.
"Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living," she continued.
"Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people," she went on. "It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them."
"Let's be better, America.”
The "vile and racist comment" in question came from fighter Josh Hokit who yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a racist trope, with a long history in America, which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women. It's designed to dehumanize and humiliate people of color.
Hokit has a history of bigotry. At a previous UFC event, he called WNBA All-Star Brittney Griner, a Black woman, a "man." Clearly, this man feels at home in the MAGA movement because he's surrounded by other white racists.
Trump, predictably, didn't condemn Hokit's remarks. In fact, CNN reported that the President was seen showing a "half-smile” in response to the insult.
The American presidency has hit rock bottom.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Sheryl Crow for speaking out!

BREAKING: Iran's World Cup team arrives in Mexico for the tournament wearing pins that read "#168" in honor of the children that Trump slaughtered in his illegal bombing of a school in Minab.
MAGA is beyond furious...
The design of the pins draws on a prominent internet hashtag and refers to the number of kids who were killed in the strike on February 28, 2026. While the White House and Israel still refuse to take responsibility for the massacre, The New York Times has reported that U.S. officials are aware that America was behind the attack.
The Iranian players were not displaying the pins when they departed from training in Turkey over the weekend, but donned them during a refueling stop in Spain so that they would be visible when they disembarked in Mexico.
The X account for Iran's embassy in Hungary posted a closeup image of the pin. Several posts later, they shared a depiction of the Statue of Liberty holding up a shredded backpack covered in blood.
The response from Republicans has been, predictably, equal parts bloodthirsty and deranged. Many MAGA supporters have dismissed concerns about the bombing, glibly stating that "people die in wars." Others are denying Trump's involvement, while still others are blaming Iran for refusing to fully surrender and capitulate before the strike happened.
All of these rationalizations are heartless and morally repugnant. Those little Iranian children were killed because Trump decided to start an illegal war of aggression on behalf of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. No American interests were at stake. Iran posed no threat to the United States. Our own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons.
This pointless, costly, evil war was launched because Israel wants to destroy the sole regional adversary willing to oppose their unfettered territorial expansion. Look no further than Lebanon right now for the geopolitical truth.
Israel is murdering innocent people, demolishing villages, and seizing land that does not belong to them. Since March 2 of this year, over 1.2 million people have been displaced. Through its proxies, Iran poses a threat to Israel's wholesale slaughter and barbaric conquest. That's why Trump attacked.
One need not support the theocratic Iranian government to oppose this war. It's wrong on every level, and those who remain silent will be judged by future generations.
Please share if you refuse to forget the innocent children that Trump killed.
This is 🔥🔥. Her time in politics isn't over; she will return stronger than ever. Today, she challenges all that is wrong with the racist SCOTUS, the corrupt President, and the spineless Republicans who allow him to operate with lawlessness.

BREAKING: RETALIATION! A DOGE whistleblower had his brake lines cut the day after Elon Musk called him a criminal on X — and he's now suing for defamation.
Dan Berulis did everything right. He saw something alarming, filed a proper Congressional whistleblower complaint, and went public through legitimate channels. Then someone taped threatening photos of him walking his dog to his front door. Then Elon Musk called him a criminal to 200 million followers. Then his brake lines were cut.
Berulis was an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board who filed a whistleblower complaint in April 2025, alleging that DOGE had accessed the agency's systems and appeared to be exfiltrating data — and that minutes after DOGE accessed those systems, login attempts appeared from a Russian IP address.
Five days after he went public, on Easter Sunday, Musk reshared a post from a right-wing influencer claiming Berulis' complaint was false, writing: "Filing a deliberately false whistleblower claim is a serious crime." Musk's followers responded by calling for Berulis's prosecution, arrest, and harm. One wrote, "Snitches get stitches."
The next morning, Berulis got in his car. His brakes didn't work. He ran off the road into a stop sign. A mechanic later found his brake lines had been cut — and that a safety sensor had also been removed and its wires carefully spliced to prevent the car from detecting the missing component or alerting the driver.
Fingerprints were found on the car. The police case is now "inactive."
Berulis never went back to his home. He moved out, stayed in hotels, and has lived carefully ever since.
He is now suing Musk for defamation — knowing, in his own words, that it's "kicking the hornet's nest" against someone with nearly unlimited resources. If he wins, he says he'll use the proceeds to defend other whistleblowers.
"I'm not expecting to win this. The asymmetry here is real," Berulis said. "But I am trying to get something positive out of it."
One more detail that should terrify everyone: Berulis had moved to his address just three months before the threatening note appeared. He hadn't updated his bank, his phone, his car registration, or his driver's license. The only entities that had his new address were his utilities and the Office of Personnel Management — one of the first agencies DOGE accessed.
The atrocities that DOGE inflicted upon the US government may have faded from the immediate consciousness of most people, but the fallout continues. Let’s hope that this whistleblower sees the justice he deserves.

Black people started Memorial Day.
It was originally called Decoration Day and it included a parade, but the most remarkable detail to me is that the newly freed dug up bodies of Union soldiers from mass graves, identified them and gave proper burials.

BREAKING:
Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'.
They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that the Treasury Department has made to the DOJ to implement it.

BOOM! Jamie Raskin walked into a Republican committee hearing and left them scrambling for a comeback they’ll never find.
Mr. Trump — with 34 felony counts currently — called the Pope "weak on crime."
Raskin: "I never understood that stance because the Pope made it very clear how he feels about Mr. Trump."
Republicans want the Ten Commandments in every public school, but Raskin hit them with the Constitution — Article VI, Section 3, and the separation of church and state.
Then he dropped the real kicker: "You should never be able to vote on a Commandment you've violated, because then we'd be using the Lord's name in vain."
To the theocrats out there who want to elevate their own religious creed and dogmas above the Constitution, Raskin sees you. And he’s not having it.
While Republicans run their Ponzi scheme to siphon taxpayer funds and ignore every real issue facing working families, Raskin is in their house, tearing the doors off their BS with unmatched truth and articulation.
No shortcuts. No mercy. Just constitutional scholarship and a backbone of steel.
THIS is how to articulate the argument against the continuing unconscionable actions of the Israeli genocidal apartheid state.
My thanks to Dr Myriam Francois for her words of truth.
