Proverbs 16:18-20 18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. 20 He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.

BREAKING: Virginia Supreme Court throws out redistricting referendum results So to be sure, US Supreme Court says Red states can ignore the will of the people and gerrymander their districts 9-0 in favor of MAGA Republicans But VA Supreme Court says Blue states cannot put the vote to the will of the people and follow through on the people's vote to redistrict. Once again, gerrymandering that centers white people is A-OK but gerrymandering that centers a broad base of voters is not. Absurd.

In 1966, Barry Goldwater told William F. Buckley Jr. that his greatest fear as a conservative was a president who would use the powers of the office to destroy everyone who disagreed with him.

A young girl set up a gofundme for $6,000 to stay in school at Howard University. She was at risk of being kicked out because of unpaid tuition, then, NBA star Kyrie Irving stepped in, paying $22,000 upfront to cover her education for the next 4 years. May God bless him 🙏

The decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the will of more than three million voters will not stand.

Happy Birthday @CowherCBS!

Rep. Justin Pearson is assaulted by a law enforcement officer in the Tennessee state capitol, and rightfully gives him an earful

Tennessee land of the Klan. History has shown us that Black people in the military/politics/educated Black folk made racists rabid. They were called “uppity.” “They didn’t show contrition” is what Republican lawmakers said the time they ousted Justin Pearson and Justin Jones. This is the modern-day way of saying they were “uppity” N-word. I’m not going to mince words. Democrats are lucky as hell to have Justin Pearson and Justin Jones. They are the future of the party. Their fight is our fight. #DemsUnited

You need to know what’s going on right now. Senate Republicans just introduced a bill that would give more than $60 billion to ICE and Customs & Border Protection — agencies that are already sitting on over $100 billion in unspent funds and have spent months defying court orders and detaining American citizens with no accountability whatsoever. They are also trying to bypass our efforts in Congress to impose accountability on the agencies. Let me be clear: this is a blank check for an out-of-control agency operating with ZERO accountability. If this makes it to the House, I am a hard NO. thehill.com/homenews/senat…
