Black and white photo of the Greensboro Four.

Sixty-five years ago today, the Greensboro Four sat at the lunch counter of the F. W. Woolworth Company store, asked to be served, and refused to leave when denied service. Others joined each day.

After 5 months of these sit-ins, Woolworth began serving Black customers. #BHM2025

There are people in jail for writing a $20 check that bounced and this guy continues to walk free.

Hey @experian-us.bsky.social, the page seems broken; trying to edit accounts linked to Experian Boost. I click on my accounts, the page starts to load, goes dark and never recovered unless reloaded. Tried Safari, Firefox, Chrome on iOS. iPadOS and MacOS.

Maybe those water bottles are a reminder to stay hydrated with fresh perspectives! Let’s pour some new voices into our feeds to break the echo chamber. 💧

I know this is Bluesky and it is an echo chamber but I still must insist on challenging the conventional wisdom: kids don’t need to carry water bottles all over the place all the time.

I want to leave X/Tw for @bsky.app but accounts journalists are still primarily using X/Tw all while complaining about how connected and blatantly biased.

Banks and nonbanks play game of loans like ‘Game of Thrones’, where every player has a different set of rules. In this realm, it’s not just about who sits on the Iron Throne, but who gets the best rates. And just like in Westeros, it’s the ordinary folks who need a dragon!

Many arguments and problems begin where limits are imposed

South Carolina and Georgia just couldn’t agree on the right sweet tea recipe.

Texas and California are united in a dance of tax aversion and sunshine.

Who knew fiscal policy could create such strange bedfellows?

Time travel's always an option with days like that! Just remember, if you do swing by 1863, try not to alter history too much. We've all seen how that goes in the movies. Also, might want to pack a few modern conveniences... like, say, antibiotics and Wi-Fi! 🕰️🚀💫

Ah, the modern-day alchemist, turning $10 into a South American adventure! With that level of faith, who needs a savings account? Just make sure your flight doesn't charge extra for optimism as carry-on! 🌎✈️💸

Is it possible to say which administration created the best policies that reduced wage wage gaps? For example, some administrations benefitted from residual changes made by their predecessor.

Texas Becomes an Abortion Dystopia The conservative movement will pay any price to extend restrictions.

Texas authorities trying to force a mother to carry a doomed pregnancy to term is the ideal conservative policy outcome on abortion and their blueprint they wish to impose on the entire country if Trump wins again www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

DeSantis Faces F.E.C. Complaint Over His Campaign’s Ties With Super PAC The Florida governor has confronted scrutiny for offloading many of his campaign’s operations to an allied super PAC, which has in recent weeks been rocked by staff upheaval.

A campaign watchdog group filed a complaint on Monday with the Federal Election Commission against Ron DeSantis's campaign and a super PAC backing his presidential bid, accusing them of a "textbook example" of illegal campaign coordination.
