@Justinjpearson I get you may have trauma, for which I am sorry, but that doesn’t excuse your interaction with that state trooper.

Don't miss out on life's greatest gift. Prioritize family.

[Saudi Arabia Curriculum Books @saudischoolbook]

A Saudi child has taught a lesson that many adults have yet to learn. 🇸🇦
With a warm smile, he stood serving the pilgrims of the Sacred House of Allah. When a woman tried to offer him some money, he politely and innocently declined, saying:
"I do not need money; I am doing this for the sake of Allah."
This is true upbringing. This is the spirit upon which we were raised—to serve, to honor, and to give without expecting anything in return, for the reward with Allah is far greater.

The greatest threat to the transatlantic community are not its external enemies, but the ongoing disintegration of our alliance. We must all do what it takes to reverse this disastrous trend.

Buddhism gets such incredible PR you’d almost forget it’s also been used by the ruling class in countries like Sri Lanka and Myanmar to discriminate and even commit genocide against religious minorities

@bozzie_t What White privilege? The only privilege I see is Blacks and Muslims, of which I am one.

[Rep. Josh Williams @JoshWilliamsOH]

I'm a black Republican who currently represents a majority-white district in the Ohio State House and is running to represent a majority-white district in Congress.

The idea that black Americans need special districts carved out just for them is complete nonsense. It's a violation of the law and blatantly unconstitutional.

Glad the Supreme Court made the right decision.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

The driving force behind the flotilla provocation is Hamas - joining hands with professional provocateurs - with the aim of sabotaging President Trump’s peace plan transition to its second phase and intended to divert attention from Hamas’s refusal to disarm.

Israel is committed to the freedom of navigation. Due to the large numbers of vessels participating in the flotilla and the risk of escalation, and the need to prevent the breach of a lawful blockade, an early action was required in accordance with international law. The operation was carried out in international waters peacefully and without any casualties.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

An initial inspection of the vessels revealed materials that appear to be drugs and contraceptives​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​. This flotilla is another PR stunt - without humanitarian aid. These are professional provocateurs on pleasure cruises. “A condom flotilla” - nothing more, nothing less.

@ariel_oseran Sounds like a recipe for civil war. That’s not to say I don’t support some or many of their aims. Great interview, Ariel!

[Doug Billings @DougBillings]

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1965 — warning America decades ahead of his time:
“False compassion… is a pity shown not to the mugged, but to the mugger; not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer.”
He predicted nations would be ruined not by wars, but by this twisted “mercy” that protects criminals and ignores victims.
Watch this prophetic clip. Still true. Still urgent.

Disparities in med school admissions rates:
- Blacks advantaged by at least 30%.
- Hispanics advantaged by at least 13%.
- Whites disadvantaged in 6/9 groupings.
- Asians disadvantaged at all groupings.

What has the NAACP done to stop this discrimination? Or is the org useless now?

@jassimalsaeedi May Allāh AWJ bless you, Jassim, for advancing fraternal relations.

[Eric Adams @ericadamsfornyc]

Last night, another act of political violence shook the nation. At this point, no one should be surprised.

“The President is a fascist.”
“Eat the rich.”
“Let the streets soak in capitalists’ blood.”
“Globalize the intifada.”
“By any means necessary.”

This isn’t fringe rhetoric anymore. It’s been normalized, echoed on campaign trails, and amplified on podcasts where politicians regularly appear.

You don’t get to indulge this language, elevate those who use it, and then act shocked when it turns into violence.

We need to get back to sanity before we lose our country.

[Kristan Hawkins @KristanHawkins]

How do you destroy a culture?

Undermine marriage.
Devalue family.
Normalize abortion.
Shame motherhood.
Forget eternity.

And call it “progress.”

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

25% of very liberal people say political violence can “sometimes be justified.”

Among very conservative people it’s just 3%.

In other words, the far left is 8x more likely to support political violence as the far right.

Stop pretending this is a “both sides” problem. It’s not.

During the Depression the Roosevelt Administration created the WPA Writer's Project. One of the tasks given was to interview people who had been at least 12 years old during slavery. The result is today called The Slave Narratives. They are available free online. I have read all of them from South Carolina, about half from NC, and quite a few from VA and GA. The overwhelming majority confided that "Our White people (masters) were good to us." I think this is the reason they're not more commonly published or referred to; the words of the people who were slaves don't fit the narrative.

Among the more memorable was a young woman in SC who wrote that while she was weaving with her neighbors on a nearby plantation her master happened to walk by. He passed, then turned around and asked if she did not live on his plantation. When she replied that yes, she did, he blushed, took off his hat, and admitted that he thought so, but he honestly didn't know everyone all that well. Then went on his way, apparently not caring what she was doing.

One that struck with me was an unhappy old man who declared, "Slavery and freedom was two heads on the same snake, and they both bit the black man." Freedom did not mean freedom from want. Slaves, for long dependent on their masters for food and shelter, now had to fend for themselves, and in most cases their now penniless former masters had nothing to offer. This was the beginning of the sharecropper in the South, where a man worked a plot of another's land, and in return gave over a portion of the harvest to the land owner. There was also a great wandering as freed slaves left their plantations and often went off in search of family. Hundreds of thousands perished. Many relocated to states that didn't forbid them settling there, Kansas being one.

Some of the earliest Jim Crow laws were passed in the North to restrict the free movements of blacks and segregate blacks and Whites on railroad and street cars. These dated to the 1830's, while the laws US history concentrates on were instituted in the South well after the War. In 1841 Frederick Douglass was violently removed after refusing to sit in a Jim Crow car on an Eastern Railroad train.

Information about segregation and the roots of Jim Crow in the North is hard to find. Google refused to give me any information, instead filling my feed with references to Southern segregation and the Civil Rights movement. A great deal of it was de facto, or common practice, rather than de jure, or by force of law, as it was later in the South.

From Grok, "It's unfortunately common for major search engines and some educational sources to downplay or omit the Northern origins of practices like the "Jim Crow car" — they prefer a simpler North=good / South=bad narrative. But the historical record (railroad policies, abolitionist protests, contemporary newspapers, etc.) is clear on this. Early segregation wasn't invented in the post-Civil War South; it had deep roots in Northern custom and policy decades earlier."
