In 1952, 22-yr-old WAC Sarah Louise Keys Evans of NC bravely refused to give up her seat for a white man on bus from NJ to NC. She was arrested, filed suit (w/ lawyer Dovey J. Roundtree), & won. Now Army removed her story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202... www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/sa...

I recently tried a Dr. Pepper and Cream Soda which, you'll be surprised to learn, is a terrible combination.

It really is upside down bizzaro world over there.

What part of consent do too many men not understand?

What I wrote about Graham Platner, Maine's Democratic Senate nominee, last month: "When one controversy erupts, people say nothing about the other skeletons that might be lying in wait. Eventually, those old bones don’t just tumble out of the closet; they blow it to smithereens."

Still can't cope with the unassailable fact that a record number of Americans looked at him and said, "NOPE."

If this idiocy becomes an actual thing — and you know this racist administration will make every attempt to codify it — it will be women of color who are targeted.

Trump soils everything he touches. These corrupt oafs have tainted what's been a memorable World Cup for the USMNT.

100 years ago.

They'll still figure out a way to blame immigrants/trans people/Mamdani/The Obamas.

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

I don't see them as having claimed the mantle of patriotism. As with Christianity, they've fashioned it into a mask for their white supremacist hate.

THIS is America at 250.

I'm not feeling Game 4 Knicks/Spurs levels of stress watching Cape Verde/Argentina, but the tension is certainly rising.

When fools and their money go separate ways, we know who'll be there to collect it.

Seems like Mother Nature is looking at all his self-aggrandizing nonsense and keeps saying

Just saw a man in a Cybertruck cut off a car in traffic, lean out of his window, then scream at the other driver, and all I'm saying is, guys, for the price of a Swasticar, you could get a lot of therapy.

If there's a better podcast about America's 250th than @rebeccanagle.bsky.social's "First America," I haven't heard it. Can't recommend this highly enough.

Why doesn't Cowherd just say that he thinks JB was too uppity and didn't know his place? Because that's exactly the racist BS he's peddling.

I've always imagined that part of Trump's origin story was being an obnoxious kid who boasted about having the best birthday parties that everyone wanted to attend, but no one ever showed up. Same as it ever was.

The criticism of Brad Stevens and this so-called pristine Celtics culture has begun, because this Jaylen Brown deal can be considered terrible even to the most novice of basketball fans, writes Gary Washburn.

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

A reminder that JFK Jr., one of the most famous people on the planet in 1996, and Carolyn Bessette eschewed spectacle, disruption, and taxpayer-funded police security on a major holiday weekend for a quiet private wedding with 40 guests on Cumberland Island, Georgia.

John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" was a massive hit when I was a kid and me and my friends would sing it with our best approximation of a Southern twang, even though in New York we knew nothing about West Virginia or country roads and, damn, I wish life was still that easy.

Thank you to the person who said this isn’t white supremacy lite. This discourse is violent because it’s smuggling in white nationalism in the guise of just a small difference it opinion. White supremacy is using “Viewpoint diversity” as a vehicle to legitimacy.

Legalizing child sexual abuse. That's what this is all about, isn't it?

If you haven't read Professor Jones' extraordinary and necessary book, "Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America," today would be a great day to change that.

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

In other words, NPS employees aren't free to refuse to wear a Freedom 250 pin.

Not a drag queen. Not a trans woman.

Disgraceful. From minimizing the horrors of 246 years of slavery to pushing its erasure.

“My mother’s blood is on that bill. We were always proud of that, and now it’s gone,” said Anthony Liuzzo, whose mother, Viola Liuzzo, died on an Alabama highway between Selma and Montgomery while driving marchers in 1965.

And the winner of the painfully accurate headline award goes to… @rygraham.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/28/o...

After years of holding their breath, this is the sound of racists exhaling. They know that in the current political climate, not only will they not be fired or reviled for this racist trash, but will be hailed as truth tellers.

Absolutely not.

I commanded a moment of silence on the House floor to honor the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care. Everyday I will continue to fight for reproductive freedom in their name. Abortion care is a human right.

Meta used computer software to track their employees' keystrokes and mouse clicks in order to replace them with AI. And now that data has been breached.

As the U.S. prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, former national park rangers are hosting teach-ins and sharing history that the Trump administration has sought to erase from federal land.

BREAKING: On the 39th anniversary of the founding of ACT UP, protestors have shut down traffic outside Grand Central demanding “Money for AIDS and healthcare, not for ICE and warfare.”

Wild details from NYT’s obituary for Blood, Sweat & Tears singer David Clayton-Thomas

This "man" must never be elected president.

I once received a nine-page memo about coverage of a Red Sox playoff game that considered every possible scenario and what I was expected to produce for each scenario. A baseball game. Not potentially world-altering events.

Schilling with a worse arm.

It's like SCOTUS Christmas Day for racists, gun nuts, and assorted horrible people.

A message to Democrats (again) terrified by the ascendancy of their party's progressives:

They. Could. Remove. Him. But. They. Don't. Have. The. Guts.

Three consecutive posts about how Hegseth is destroying the US military.
