In 1939, Jesse Lee Bond was lynched in Tennessee simply for asking for a receipt. Decades later, his great-granddaughter, Justice Kyra Harris Bolden, became the first Black woman to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court.This is the arc of the moral universe. This is how pain is turned into purpose. This is how we redeem the Dream of America—by refusing to forget our history and by continuing the fight for justice.

DSA is over 85% white. Yall purposely push minority candidates to give the illusion of diversity; it’s called tokenism. It’s not new and you aren’t fooling anyone

In 1961, two Black women changed Western North Carolina forever.
Oralene Simmons and Etta Mae Whitner Patterson weren't just students; they were the first African Americans to integrate Mars Hill University and UNC Asheville. (1/3)

I've actually been thinking a lot about this and how the mainstream media landscape cheapens the legacies of living R&B/soul legends. It's a very layered conversation that needs to be had.

🇲🇽 Little known fact:
The first black conquistador in Mexico was a combat veteran, a wealthy Mexico City landowner, and the pioneer who introduced wheat to the Americas.
His name was Juan Garrido.
Born in the Kingdom of Kongo around 1480, Juan traveled to Lisbon, converted to Christianity, and spent two decades fighting his way across the Caribbean…conquering Puerto Rico with Ponce de León, taking Cuba with Diego Velázquez, and hunting gold on the 1513 Florida expedition.
By 1519, he joined Hernán Cortés’s campaign to dismantle the Aztec Empire.
After surviving the carnage of La Noche Triste, Garrido built the chapel that still stands today as Mexico City's Church of San Hipólito.
After the fall of Tenochtitlan, he settled in the conquered capital as a prominent landholder, married, and planted three stray wheat seeds he salvaged from a rice sack…singlehandedly launching the entire wheat economy of the New World while receiving a royal pension from Spain.

Katt Williams emotionally opened up about the HORRIFIC abuse he suffered from ages 5 to 12, revealing that his parents would beat him for questioning their religious beliefs and refusing to stay quiet 😲
He says the beatings got so bad they started using extension cords, water hoses and wooden boards, and even tied him to a pole in the basement for HOURS because he kept dodging them 💔
“You’re trying to instill upon me this particular truth that we collectively believe in. And I’m explaining to you I don’t believe that, and it’s going to have to be discussed because you told me the Bible was written by God. So I don’t want to see any errors. I don’t want to see any mistakes. I don’t want to see a passage that talks about how you should treat your slaves, because now I have a different conversation that I need to have. And, yeah, even at that point in my life, I just wanted to know what the truth was about things”

Great reporting by @nytimes. The US Commerce Dept was approving sales of Nvidia chips to companies in China which either did not exist, were on the sanctions list, and/or had ties to China's military. A brief visit by journalists in China found that two of the offices were just empty shells.
Was Jensen Huang a "victim" of a honey trap or was he just trying to make as much money as possible? Was his $25 million donation to Trump's ballroom the price of pay to play? In the US - China tech competition, has the Commerce Dept been co-opted by other interests? Here is a gift article which raises deeply troubling questions.
