More Christians speaking up for the people Jesus would've spoken up for would be very welcome.

Mississippi Students No Longer Need U.S. History Test to Graduate The Mississippi State Board of Education voted on June 19 to eliminate the U.S. History end-of-course assessment as a requirement for graduation.

High school seniors in Mississippi will no longer have to pass a U.S. history test to graduate after the State Board of Education voted to eliminate it this fall.

Mary Werner, the lone dissenting vote, warned that it will hurt students.

The biology, algebra and English assessments will remain.

Today in history, 2015: A white supremacist with a gun took nine precious lives from us during Bible study at Emanual African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. No place is safe from gun violence, not even places of worship.

I once posted on Twitter that any white person who reflexively opposed antifa would likely have been opposed to the civil rights demonstrations of the sixties. People got VERY mad, but I was just summarizing the data.

Today in history, 1921: The Tulsa Race Massacre begins. Thousands of whites rioted in Tulsaโ€™s Greenwood District, killing hundreds of African Americans and burning their homes and businesses. Itโ€™s one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history. /1

The first screening of Ryan Cooglerโ€™s โ€˜Sinnersโ€™ in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

This is the first time a lot of people in Clarksdale have been abled to watch the film for the first time. Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Evans, and Miles Caton were all in attendance.

I think the way to turn this administrationโ€™s tanking polls around is to have this creep talk about his plans for our children as much as possible.

Nothing is True, Everything is Possible (with Anne Applebaum) Watch now (49 mins) | Donald Trump's first 100 days in office have been marked by a lot of aspiring autocratic behavior. Atlantic staff writer Anne Applebaum joins Sarah to discuss how voters are seeing Trump, and how he's comparing to autocratic regimes around the world.

Unfortunately, it's not a given that voters will care about Trump's abuses of powerโ€”or even clock that what they're seeing is bad. ICYMI, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on the latest episode of The Focus Group: www.thebulwark.com/p/nothing-is...

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.

I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

I don't give the press a pass, but social media, particularly Meta, is responsible for a lot of where we are.

It's the way algorithms determine which media and what news we see.

It's the way social media algorithms push us into news environments that are essentially alternate realities.
