Just a reminder that ALL members of the military and the Secret Service PLEDGE LOYALTY TO THE CONSTITUTION, not a person, to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". How many take that oath seriously? Maybe they should.

Even if you can't attend, purchase a ticket!

A lot of good folks in North Carolina voted the right way. For the Black lady. And they’re getting screwed too. That’s the problem. Trump voters didn’t just vote against themselves, they dragged the rest of us down with them. Including the people who warned them, showed up, & did everything right.

Always more to the story

Restarting wage garnishment for student loan borrowers is cruel and unnecessary. Taking paychecks from people already struggling won’t fix repayment, it will push families further behind. We need real paths to relief and repayment, not punishment. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/23/s...

A news segment about the Trump administration's immigration policy that was abruptly pulled from " 60 Minutes " was mistakenly aired on a TV app after the last minute decision not to air it touched off a public debate about journalistic independence. https://to.pbs.org/4qhN73Y

'In 1963, prominent Black artists and activists including Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, and James Baldwin called for a nationwide Christmas boycott, urging Americans to refrain from holiday spending as a moral response to racial terror.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WKm... | @thirteenwnet.bsky.social

Being a high school teacher during the holidays hits a little different and don’t look like what you see at other grade levels These never just about seeing me as their teacher. They are glimpses of who they are becoming how they reflect, how they choose gratitude, how they name what mattered.

We’re changing that page by page. buff.ly/lvL8e5j

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

'The growing popularity of Korean fried chicken reflects a greater familiarity with Korean culture. But its origins can be traced to an American cookbook dating back to when African American soldiers fought in the Korean War.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsup...

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Really want to know more about this lecture the Reverend W. S. Carpenter delivered in Philadelphia in 1920, entitled "Sambo is Dead." The good Reverend looking absolutely fierce here

"Historians estimate that Brazil alone imported approximately 4.8M enslaved men, women and children, representing nearly half of the 10.5M enslaved Africans who disembarked alive in the Americas between 1501 and 1866. … 388,000 enslaved Africans who disembarked in the US during the same period."

Great idea!!

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

Q: So Dr Oz said that-- JEFFRIES: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr Oz seriously.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
