The reason why Black History month is in February is because of Frederick Douglass' birthday. Originally when G. Carter Woodson started Negro History Week in 1926, he intentionally picked the week of Douglass' birthday.
Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

I want to scream for 40 days and 40 nights every time people say things will get better once bone sandals comes for his boy. Ok, he kicks the bucket, AND THEN WHAT?! do you think things will just go back to normal?!?!
This means nothing. Because they are putting all the blame on Trump and not the ideologies that got him elected.

That is why he will die one day but his ideologies wont
Apparently, the manosphere podcasters are becoming exhausted of the MAGA regime and are now giving their listeners "permission" to admit it was a mistake to elect them. They liked them in theory, but not so much in practice. Duh!

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

There it is

"Small footprint"

Like L.A. and Chicago, this ain't over
Homan says the ICE drawdown in Minnesota is "already underway this week, and will continue into the next week."

A "small footprint" will remain, he says.

But Trump's ICE surge in Minneapolis is officially over.
