Black Farmers in Pursuit of Justice

Black farmers have been losing their land for decades primarily due to malfeasance of USDA. Between 1910 and 1997, Black farmers lost an $326B in land and produce from the land. We advocate via research, writing, speaking, and radio. No PMs, please!

Over on my blog you'll find part II of a two-part series on the topic of distribution of funds by the USDA for "distressed borrowers" as well as those who have experienced discrimination. I hope you'll drive by and skim it at least. letjusticering.blogspot.com/2025/03/long...

They try to silence us, hold us back, and strip away our rights, but women always fight back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re doubling down, because when women lead, we all move forward.

In recent months, the USDA has been instructed to provide debt relief and repair for discrimination to Black farmers. Over on my blog, I address this via a two-part series. I'd be delighted if you'd read it and comment. letjusticering.blogspot.com/2025/03/long...

Dems need to build case for the impeachment of DJT ASAP!

He's a danger to society.
He's a radical domestic terrorist.
He's ripping away all our protections, from our people to our environment.
He's breaking things just to break them.
He's wasting government resources.
He's abusing his power.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.

Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.

Trump wants loyalists in these positions β€” a key tenant of Project 2025.

Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg

Thank you for your courage yesterday. Surely you knew of the reactions you would get from Trump and Vance, and lo and behold, you did. Thank you for your courage to do the right thing anyway, to speak truth to power anyway. Thank you.

Does that mean that you will pay for your crimes and those of your followers there onJ6? Or just the chosen few? Be aware of labeling us th law and order nation when you don't really have the evidence for it. At least half of American will laugh derisively at you!

Trump expected to offer Kelly Loeffler secretary of Agriculture | CNN Politics President-elect Donald Trump is expected to offer Kelly Loeffler the job of secretary of the Department of Agriculture, two people familiar with the matter told CNN.

www.cnn.com/2024/11/22/p.... Ms. Loeffler, I am looking for your skill set relative to farmers. I know you grew up on a farm, but does that qualify you? I am also concerned at how you handled the "Black Lives Matter" issue when you were an NBA owner. @whinson.bsky.social Please advise.
