Mrs Mabel Fairbanks was The first black woman to break into competitive figure skating. She was Self taught because she was denied formal training.
Born in 1915, she developed an interest in skating as a young girl, but access to ice rinks and professional coaching was limited for Black athletes. Many skating clubs did not allow Black members, and she was denied formal training because of her race.
As a result, Fairbanks became largely self-taught. She practiced by watching others and repeating what she saw, developing her own technique without the support that most competitive skaters relied on.
Even as her skills improved, she faced restrictions that prevented her from competing in major national championships. Despite this, she continued skating and remained active in the sport.
Her impact became even more significant later in her career.
Fairbanks went on to become a coach and mentor, training several successful skaters, including Olympic medalists. Through her coaching, she helped open pathways for future generations of Black athletes in figure skating, a sport that had long excluded them.
She was later recognized for her contributions and inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame.

The video shows Marco Rubio first saying that โUkraine is not Americaโs war,โ and then older video showing him explaining how โAmerica promised to defend Ukraine in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons.โ
Rubio has become a prime example of the MAGA cult mentality. He has compromised his own principles in order to follow the cult leader.
Rubio is now wearing shoes that do not fit, yet he is too afraid to admit it.

It is difficult to imagine any US leader who could cause more harm to US foreign policy than Trump: 1. Since he lies all the time, he has wasted all US credibility. 2. Since he pursues trade wars against all purported allies, he is in war with all allies. 3. Since he has started a madcap war against Iran without asking anybody but Israel, he has caused many allies to be attacked for no cause of their own. Conclusions: 1. The US is unable to be an ally of anybody as long as Trump remains US president. 2. Thus, all US "alliances" have lost content. 3. All countries with US bases need to reconsider: Aren't these bases a reason for attack on us, while offering no defense or even consultation. 4. Trump has destroyed the whole US security architecture of the last 80 years out of either stupidity or treason. The cost to the US will be horrendous.

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic.
An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points that determine whether we can still prevent catastrophe.
We lost them because this administration defunded their work, shuttered their offices, and made clear that finding out the truth is no longer a government priority.
NASAโs own administrator just said studying climate change isnโt part of NASAโs mission. The agency that first warned Congress about global warming in 1988 now treats that work as a distraction.
Meanwhile, China and Europe are recruiting our scientists, funding their labs, and making long-term bets on the industries of the future while we gut the research infrastructure that took generations to build.
We are surrendering global scientific leadership voluntarily, deliberately, and one resignation letter at a time.

Sen. @RaphaelWarnock at the No Kings rally in Atlanta, GA:
"A wannabe king who is busy building himself and his billionaires a ballroom, who intends to use ICE as his own private army. He is not a king. This is our land, this belongs to We The People."

Bruce Springsteen speaks at No Kings:
"Federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis and of Minnesota was an inspiration to the entire country. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America."

RFK Jr saying "none of the 72 vaccines given to children have been tested against placebo "
The reality :
- Children are not given 72 vaccines
- The ones they are given have been tested against placebo
This serial liar is your HHS Secretary.

My key takeaway is that there's no one supervising and giving ICE agents any work to do. They think their only job is beating up American citizens and residents, I guess: yahoo.com/news/articles/โฆ

trump: Doctor said he'd never seen anyone get a perfect score on my cognitive test
Is that his dementia or pathological lying?
And if it's dementia, shouldn't he be removed? Asking for a country that deserves better.
