NEW Ricky L. Jones Opinion | Republicans asked Democrats to join them in their latest lie; 98 agreed to do it. www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Happy 100th birthday to Brother Malcolm, one of the greatest lovers of the people we have ever seen.

THANK YOU and SO MUCH LOVE to all who helped organize and came out to ASCENSION last night. The love and bonding we shared was truly moving. We did it all in just 2 1/2 weeks! This will grow! TELL THEM WE ARE RISING!!!!! #Ascension2025

ASCENSION 2025 is TODAY! RISE UP, LOUISVILLE! rickyljones.substack.com/p/ascension-...

New Jones Opinion | “The cruelty of canceling Black, Brown, and Lavender graduations.” Concerned citizens in Louisville, KY are coming together to plan alternate ceremonies with NO help from the city’s predominantly white universities. Here’s why they have to. www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

New Ricky Jones Opinion | After yet ANOTHER clownish presidential fiasco, it’s time to admit Louisville is no longer a serious university. And a bloody horse’s head may or may not be involved this time. 🤔😂 www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Major General Rogers is now just a DEI. 🤦🏾‍♂️

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

This is not a shock for US. Of course THEY want to pardon Derek Chauvin. THEY still believe a Black man has NO rights a white man is bound to respect. Not even the right to life. This is who they are. This is America.

New Ricky L. Jones Opinion | None of this is about DEI. It’s really about Republicans trying to destroy gains made during the civil rights movement, and many university presidents are helping them. *Important mention to also read: @anandwrites.bsky.social www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Another must read column by @jgerth.bsky.social. As students are silenced, we have to continuously, and correctly, call this what it is - an ongoing and brazen display of white supremacy in Kentucky. @courierjournal.bsky.social www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Of course Republicans didn’t listen to actual college students. Of course they called the police to remove them. Such is the state of affairs in Kentucky, a place that was already behind and is going backwards FAST! kentuckylantern.com/2025/03/04/s...

At this point I honestly wonder what it would take for these Republicans to say, “What we’re doing is dangerous and flat out wrong. We’re following madmen, and need to stop. This is going too far.” Maybe there is NOTHING that will make them stop . . . or even reflect.

Pro diversity and decency protest today at the University of Louisville. They’re spreading!

Question: Do anti-DEI champions believe ANY Black people deserve their degrees, jobs, or accomplishments? 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m finally back! My first @courierjournal.bsky.social column after an extended break is a warning to all those who think Black people are easy kills. If they actually knew the history they’re trying to ban they’d know we’ve ALWAYS fought back! So, BRING IT! www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Make all the excuses you want but something is VERY wrong when KENTUCKY Fried Chicken no longer wants to be in KENTUCKY!

Our brother @anandwrites.bsky.social was in my head when he wrote this. I couldn’t have said it better. This is a disturbing article that accurately describes our situation. the.ink/p/essay-home...
