WATCH THIS. He gets it right

Nottoway Plantation: the so-called โ€œWhite Castleโ€, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.

We donโ€™t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Letโ€™s hope others follow suit.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

So they want the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.

Could someone, please, please, please, remind me the last time the death penalty was discussed for those mass shooting children?

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you.

You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Throughout her career, Susan Crawford has stood up to shady drug and insurance companies trying to rip us off.

On April 1st, Wisconsinites have the power to elect a WI Supreme Court justice who protects Wisconsinites over Big Pharma. Vote for Judge Susan Crawford!

It needed to be said and Rachel was the one to say it. Mad respect. Modeling how to push back and take a stand.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

Do not use their language.
When they say illegals or undocumented we need to say families, mothers, father, daughters, sons, babies and community members!
