Just a shallow dive into the Epstein files and I'm wondering why I've not seen anything written, not just about the sexual abuse of underage girls, but the actual murders (!) of some of these girls. Am I missing something? #epsteinfiles #epsteininvestigation

The executive order should be called “Restoring Lies and Insanity to American History.” Another example of “What We Learned from the Lost Cause.”

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today

Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Up now on @indyweek.bsky.social, an excerpt from this essential new @uncpress.bsky.social release. It tells the story of Wyatt Outlaw - a voting rights crusader and Graham’s first Black elected official. He was lynched in 1870. There are no public markers for his life yet, but now there’s a book.

Welcome to Alamance County, North Carolina

An excerpt from "The Legend of Wyatt Outlaw: From Reconstruction through Black Lives Matter" by Sylvester Allen Jr. and Belle Boggs.

Absolutely convinced this was intentional and a further humiliation and brutalization of impoverished girls and women who were trafficked, raped and abused by the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. It reinforces class & gender domination and exploitation. Intended to silence.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.

Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.

They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.
