I saw this video on Viola Davis' instagram this morning and everyone needs to see it.
The gutting of the VRA is the most significant attack on ALL civil rights in America in my lifetime, and after they already came for the women..
We better wake the fuck up. None of us is safe:
#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “We are now about sixteen months into what has been from day one, a concerted and intense targeting of Black Americans specifically by this president and by this administration…When Trump and his top political donor Elon Musk then started just lopping off huge swaths of the federal government…the largest and most egregious cuts targeted federal agencies that employed a disproportionate number of Black employees. Reporter Erica Green wrote about this for…NYT: ‘…nothing had moved backwards in the federal government for Black Americans this quickly or this far…since Woodrow Wilson came in in 1912 and resegregated the federal workforce…”😳
Back in August 2025 @rolandsmartin said this about Political and economic power in Black America being on the line. The Congressional Black Caucus faces an existential threat as the Supreme Court eyes rulings that could erase over 30 Black-held seats. Political and economic power in Black America is on the line. Well what did the Supreme Court do last week?

After the Supreme Court's decision to restrict the Voting Rights Act, I'm reflecting on my trip to Selma for the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
Despite the hardships the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement faced, they marched on.
So must we. We cannot afford not to.
Holy smokes….incredible finish at LA Marathon today by American Nathan Martin coming from behind to catch and beat Kenyan Michael Kamari at the finish line
"Tough times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men. Weak men create tough times...many will not understand but you have to raise Warriors."
This is absolutely outrageous! Last year, Trump ordered National Park staff to flag displays that “disparage” America’s past. Now, crews removed plaques honoring 9 enslaved people once held by George Washington at Philadelphia's President’s House. Erasing history dishonors the enslaved and misleads future generations!
January 15, 1968. Daddy celebrating his 39th birthday…the last one he would celebrate before he was assassinated on April 4th of that same year.
Not a long life. But it was a large life.
Thank you for commemorating him today. Let’s move forward to challenge and conquer hate, inhumanity, and injustice, and to, as he said, “make of this old world a new world.”
