Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.
We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

CALL YOUR SENATORS! Elizabeth Warren has a plan to stop Trump's STUPID & DANGEROUS TARIFFS, & save the world from a recession.

As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday.
The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

So they want the death penalty for Luigi Mangione.
Could someone, please, please, please, remind me the last time the death penalty was discussed for those mass shooting children?

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.

It just keeps getting worse and worse.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
