#RepresentationMatters: The Importance of Black Presidents, Black Panther and Black GCs in Black History Month 2018
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. --Althea Gibson None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! I thought I would share on here an article I wrote and posted on LinkedIn for #BHM in 2018 that was inspired by a tweet by one of my favorite Twitter mutuals Tiffany Graves.

I’m not a sports fan, but I am a Chicagoan, and this sucks for our city.
The Chicago Bears' potential move to Indiana took another step forward when a key committee approved a plan to create an agency that would help get a stadium built.
Bears' potential move to Indiana takes step forward as effort to build stadium in Illinois lingers

What about my Tariff check?
Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)

Reading a book about Vicksburg, and the main takeaway so far is that Henry Halleck was a messy bitch who lived for the drama

Then release all the files.
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

“Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break."
Trump visits a local business in Rome, Georgia -- "They came in and they took all those ballots. All those crooked ballots were taken. Let's see what happens. The Democrats are fighting like hell. They don't want anyone to see those ballots. It's a disgrace."

LAILA EDWARDS MAKES BLACK HISTORY DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH! And the US doesn't win without our hockey niece. It's a shame it's taken until 2026 for us to have a Black player. May we never know that life again.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Today’s feed from Aaron Rupar might be the most unhinged and deeply troubling series of clips he’s posted and that is saying something very serious about where we are.
