At just 18 years old, Makayla Nelson, this strong Black teen, has already survived cancer four times and today she proudly walked across the stage to graduate high school. What an incredible journey of resilience and fight. She turned pain into power and showed the world what real strength looks like. Congratulations, queen.. 👏🏽👏🏽

577 Black men are leaving Morehouse College today, ready to shock the world with their brilliance, leadership, and purpose. The Class of 2026 isn’t just graduating… they’re walking into history. 🎓✊🏾🔥👏

Michelle Obama at the Princeton University in 1985.

Greetings from Kyiv. It was the most calming scene I’ve seen in a long time. They had been sitting there for a while. Watching. Listening. I joined their silence.

Americans are sick of status quo politics. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, they want leaders who will take on oligarchy and fight for working people. That’s why I’m heading to Maine to host rallies with @grahamformaine and @TroyJackson207 on Sunday and Monday.

The trailer for Questlove’s Earth, Wind & Fire documentary is out:

22 mai 1967, la BBC informe EMI qu'un titre de leur nouvel album sera censuré à la radio et à la télévision. Le motif : la chanson évoque la consommation de drogue. John et Paul ont avoué des années plus tard avoir joué avec l'ambiguïté de certaines paroles sans jamais avoir eu l'objectif de composer un titre sur la drogue. Il faut se replonger dans le contexte de l'époque pour comprendre la situation. L'explosion de la consommation de drogues au sein de la jeunesse inquiète de plus en plus les autorités. Les Beatles sont alors considérés comme les leaders de cette génération, leurs œuvres et leurs déclarations sont examinées de très près. Au-delà de toute considération, ce titre est considéré comme le joyau de Sgt. Pepper. Il symbolise parfaitement la collaboration et la signature Lennon & McCartney. Le rock est désormais une œuvre d'art à part entière. "A Day In The Life", The Beatles, 1967.

🚨If a state is making it harder for your family to vote, why reward them with your talent and your NIL money? I said what I said. You can still make it to the NFL, NBA, or anywhere else without propping up politicians attacking democracy and voting rights.

The fact that the U.S. has one of the highest child poverty rates among wealthy nations is a political choice and a moral failure. @RepSaraJacobs and I are introducing the Ending Child Poverty Resolution because our children deserve more, and Congress must invest in their future.

In 1988 Guitarist Mick Goodrick and pianist Fred Hersch recorded together in Hersch's private studio. The album that emerged from that session, "Feebles, Fables and Ferns", will be released for the first time on 19 June. Pre-order the album: ecm.lnk.to/FeeblesFablesF…

Israel executed four paramedics today in Hannawiyah, South Lebanon. Karim. Moussa. Ali. Muhammad. Not combatants. Not armed. Not a threat. Men who dedicated their lives to saving others.

Leopold of Belgium ruled Congo as his private property for 23 years. He cut off the limbs of Congolese who did not meet their daily quota on the plantation. At the end of his rule, he had killed 15million Congolese people. But we are taught only about Hitler. 😭😭

🇮🇹 Thousands march in Italy against Israel's abuse and inhumane treatment of the Global Sumud Flotilla activists.

Rep. Raskin: "Donald Trump's name is all over the underrated #EpsteinFiles... thousands of times." "If you spend time with these files you’ll see references to 17, 16, 14, 11, 10, 9-year-old girls." To make progress and find justice, we must listen to the survivors. #DemsUnited

Still relevant. Still smooth. “Why Can’t We Be Friends” by War

This EMS Week, I'm thinking about Freedom House Ambulance Service, founded in Pittsburgh's Hill District in 1967 by Black community members who built the nation's EMS model used today. Recently, I introduced a bill to honor these hometown heroes with a Congressional Gold Medal.

HODGES: Eventually Ukraine will be invited to join NATO, people will wake up and realize that we'll get better the day Ukrainians are members. Ukraine is best military in Europe. Ukraine is becoming net security exporter. Ukraine's going to be heart of European defense industry.

Miles de mineros y obreros bolivianos se unieron contra el régimen de Rodrigo Paz, títere de EEUU, que quiere entregar los recursos y privatizar el pais para entregárselo al imperio. El imperialismo quiere que Bolivia sea otra Argentina, el pueblo mandó a parar y está luchando por evitarlo.
