Every American who depends on a stable economy has an interest in the Fed being free from political intimidation.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

The attack on Cook is part of a broader effort to seize control of the Federal Reserve. Trump made baseless allegations against Cook and launched a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Jerome Powell with the goal is to remove them and install political loyalists who would do what he ordered and not make decisions on sound policy.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

The attempt to remove Governor Cook was a manufactured pretext to pressure the Fed into bending monetary policy to Trump’s political

[Rep. Terri A. Sewell @RepTerriSewell]

The Supreme Court made the right decision today by blocking Trump's illegal attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. I continue to stand with her as she fights this bogus case.

The Federal Reserve must be able to make decisions based on what's best for the American people—not the whims of any one president. This ruling is a victory for the independence of the Federal Reserve, the rule of law, and every American who wants a stable economy and lower costs.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The 20th century produced a generation of African leaders who challenged colonialism, apartheid, economic dependency, and foreign influence in their countries. Many paid a heavy price for their political beliefs and activism.

Among the figures are Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso, Steve Biko of South Africa, Amílcar Cabral of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Samora Machel of Mozambique, and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. Although their political ideologies, goals, and methods differed, each became a symbol of resistance and self-determination for many people across Africa and the Global South.

Patrice Lumumba became the first Prime Minister of the independent Congo in 1960 and advocated for genuine political and economic sovereignty. Thomas Sankara introduced ambitious reforms aimed at reducing poverty, increasing literacy, and promoting women's rights in Burkina Faso. Steve Biko played a major role in South Africa's Black Consciousness Movement, encouraging Black South Africans to reject the psychological effects of apartheid. Amílcar Cabral helped lead the struggle against Portuguese colonial rule, while Samora Machel became Mozambique's first president after independence. Muammar Gaddafi remains one of the most debated figures in modern African history, praised by some for his pan-African vision and criticized by others for his authoritarian rule.

Black media legend Tony Brown has become an ancestor. Tony Brown was the host of an eponymous public affairs show on PBS, former dean of journalism schools and Howard and Hampton Universities, and consummate purveyor of Black news, education, and history. https://t.co/N7MyZWSWJb

This is what has been unleashed in this country: a return to emboldened racism. They feel validated and vindicated. They no longer have to couch their bigotry in polite language. It can now, once again, be raw and visceral. This is what we are fighting people.

[Janai Nelson @JNelsonLDF]

Looking for an amazing theater experience? @WendellPierce in Othello at @ShakespeareinDC. Outstanding performances all around in a modern execution of original text. Themes of anti-Black racism, misogyny, deception and war are deeply resonant. BRAVO!

@KreweOfSaintly7 Thank you for coming. God bless

Iran now has access to the global oil markets and banking systems, something they haven’t had since the Obama deal. They now will have a toll on the Strait of Hormuz, which never existed before while they still have their nuclear program. President Trump just capitulated.
