In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Elaine Welteroth, former editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue and youngest editor of Condé Nast ever, and the 2nd African American to hold this position, changed Teen Vogue to be more politically conscious.

Traffic to TeenVogue.com: 2.7M to 9.2M visitors a year, print subscriptions jumped 535%

Ex-Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth: ‘The headlines implied I was a token black hire’

Welteroth was just 29 when Anna Wintour made her editor-in-chief. Months later, the magazine shut down. What did she do next?

assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur

Tweet from Tanisha long with pictures of Assata

“Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.
Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.
Rest Free, Assata.”

Writer, poet and social reformer Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was born to free Black parents 200 years ago today in Baltimore, Maryland. She was a leading campaigner for abolition, women's suffrage and temperance. She lived the latter part of her life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

A reproduction of an engraved portrait of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper tops a plaque commemorating her on the façade of the Baltimore Convention Center in her birth city of Baltimore, Maryland. The engraving was originally published in William Still’s 1872 book THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. (Andy Bass photo)

The Frances Ellen Watkins Harper House stands at 1006 Bainbridge Street in the Bella Vista Neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The social reformer purchased the 3-story brick rowhouse in 1871 and owned it until her death in 1911. It was her primary residence for most of that period. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 and added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 2021. In each case, the property was deemed significant because of its association with Harper. The building remains a private residence today. (Andy Bass photo)

“all men are created equal” was a lie even then. they didn’t mean:

-enslaved Africans
-indigenous people
-women
-poor whites without property

they meant land-owning white men. and even many of them were on the fence.
