Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

We have an update on the Liam Ramos family, and it isn’t good.

The family is in hiding, and Liam is waking up in the middle of the night screaming for his daddy.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.

Don’t let up.

Emmanuel would be 35 today.
Hardworking, trustworthy, and loving, he was taken from his wife and children in a 2023 Austin, TX mass shooting.
He loved taking his children out for lunch and ice cream on Sundays, his only day off each week.

Donald Trump’s restitution scheme is among the greatest heists in US history Bogus claims of malicious prosecution could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions.

The Republican Party really only has one core principle now: Everything the government does must either benefit Donald Trump and his allies or punish his enemies.

Beyond the Yard: When Celebration Turns to Calamity Gun violence, HBCUs, and our collective responsibility

New from AWR contributor Brent Bailey: Gun violence, HBCUs, and our collective responsibility. --
"Let’s be clear, HBCUs are not the problem. They are the mirror. What we’re seeing on their campuses is the reflection of a society that refuses to invest in the safety and well-being of Black life."
