BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.”

When women in Montgomery began to fund raise to buy cars for the carpools they sold pies. Their employers asked where they were going and they would say nowhere.

They can take away the office for the black student union, but the black student union used to be in somebody’s living room.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me.

Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz.

His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.
