If you can help her please do. I guarantee you all she didn’t commit a crime and is an American citizen.
Trump had been trying to bring her down for a decade. I know because I was once, unknowingly a part of a plot to do just that.
I am appalled that Brad Lander, the Democratic nominee for NY-10, was detained by the IDF in the West Bank alongside rabbis and other activists in the annual olive harvest. It is a stark reminder of the abuses Palestinians face on a near daily basis doing even the simplest of tasks, like harvesting olives on the land their families have cultivated for centuries.
Next Congress, Democrats must pass the Stop Settlements Act to demand our government use its leverage to bring the illegal settlement movement to an end.
If this woman were black, the whole conversation would be about DEI. Funny how when white employees fail, nobody mentions THEIR race or ethnicity. And yet — how much of Trump’s administration is just affirmative action for nice-looking white people?
AMAZING! Republican election officials denied NC A&T campus an early-voting site. Students marched about 45 minutes each way to vote ANYWAY!
Put up barriers to voting, and don’t be surprised when people get angry, get organized, and bring even MORE voters to the polls!

Devastated by another nightmarish act of gun violence taking the lives of children and educators. Sending love and solidarity to the Silver Rail Elementary School community tonight and in the hard days to come. The American people must stand together against the continuing calamity of gun violence if we will ever have hope of overcoming legislative paralysis and acting to institute common-sense gun safety laws.
Today, EBONY remembers Freddie Jackson, an R&B legend whose timeless ballads made him one of the culture's most beloved artists.
Long before millions knew his name, Freddie got his start singing at his childhood church in Harlem... roots that helped shape the warmth, control and soul that would later make his voice an unmistakable force in R&B.
With number one hits “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake),” “You Are My Lady,” “Have You Ever Loved Somebody” and “Jam Tonight,” Freddie helped set the standard for an era of R&B where Black love could be tender, passionate and fully felt.
Freddie leaves us with classics for every season of love... the kind we fall into, hold onto, miss and find our way back to. That music will keep bringing people together and reminding us just how good love can sound no matter the era.
Rest in peace, Freddie Jackson. 🖤
