Partisanship is racism by another name #VotingRightsAct decision #SupremeCourt

WOW!!!!!!!!

🇺🇸BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans are cancelling an ongoing election to eliminate Black majority districts. The election already started. People have already voted. Republicans are about to cancel those votes. Never in American history has an election been cancelled this way.

LBJ signs Voting Rights Act, US Capitol Rotunda, 1965.

SCOTUS just made a literal Jim Crow era ruling. That’s not hyperbole.

With deep sorrow, we say farewell to one of the final sentinels of the Tuskegee Airmen. George E. Hardy, who once danced across the skies of Europe in his Mustang has taken his final flight at the age of 100. Leaving behind a legacy forged in courage, resilience, and unwavering dignity. It began in a quiet room in Philadelphia. A 16-year-old boy hunched over his homework as the radio crackled with the news of Pearl Harbor. In that instant, the world fractured, and George’s childhood evaporated. He didn't wait for history to call; he went to meet it. Denied entry because of the color of his skin, he didn't retreat. He leaned into the wind. He joined the U.S. Army Air Forces, arriving at Tuskegee not just to learn the mechanics of flight, but to dismantle the mechanics of prejudice. By 19, George was a "Red Tail," a guardian of the clouds. While the world below was segregated, the flak in the European theater was indifferent. He flew 21 combat missions over Nazi-occupied territory, a teenager in a cockpit proving that valor has no pedigree. Most men would have seen enough of war. George was not most men. - World War II: 21 combat missions in the P-51 Mustang. - Korea: 45 combat missions, braving the dawn of the jet age. - Vietnam: 70 combat missions, a veteran hand guiding a new generation. For nearly thirty years, he wore the uniform of a country that didn't always love him back, yet he protected it with a devotion that shames the very idea of hate. When he finally climbed out of the cockpit, he didn't stop serving. As a Lieutenant Colonel, he helped architect the military’s first global communication systems. He spent his sunset years ensuring that those who followed him would never be out of reach, never be truly alone in the dark. "He rose above the clouds so we could finally see the light." Today, we don't just salute a pilot. We salute a man who endured the sting of Jim Crow to earn the silver wings of a hero. He was the quiet defiance in the face of "no," the steady hand in the cockpit, and the humble heart in the room. The "Red Tails" are thinning now, their formation heading into the eternal sunset. But as George E. Hardy crosses the ultimate horizon, he leaves behind a legacy etched not in ink, but in the very air we breathe. Rest well, Colonel. The watch is ours. The sky is yours.

Happy birthday Bobbi Humphrey (born April 25, 1950)

@SethAbramson Trump shouldn’t be able to change it unless he can swim from one end to the other.

I say again... *grotesque*. The Trumpist enshittification of America continues. This is what a formerly beautiful D.C. landmark will soon look like:

I don’t think people get it. This is an eleven year old. Stop any comparisons.

@Mr1738 @krysilove What about the 9 year old MJ singing Who’s Lovin You 🔥🔥

This quote means so much more than just planting trees but it is a nice quote for Earth Day. “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit" Happy Earth Day!

Prince is truly missed. What a legend. There will never be another PRINCE. Sometimes It Snows In April was recorded on this day in 1985. RIP PRINCE! 💜💜💜💜💜

@JessicaFange @SVG__Collection They died in the same year just months apart.

@SVG__Collection Why does everyone forget Vanity

Remembering the great Prince, who passed away 10 years ago today.

@NBCNews But women can’t have autonomy over our bodies

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says that the U.S. military will no longer require all American troops to get the flu vaccine, citing “medical autonomy” and religious freedom. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

Los Angeles General Medical Center is asking for the public’s help in identifying a woman who has been hospitalized since Thursday, officials said. ktla.com/news/local-new…

These Veterans, get arrested, for peacefully protesting the Iran war out of concerns for the lives of fellow military and Trump wants to pardon the leaders of the Jan 6 insurrection and other insurrectionists. Let that sink in.
