The Children by David Halberstam
The Greensboro Four.
On February 1, four Black students from the HBCU North Carolina A&T, began the sit-in movement tht would propel the Civil Rights Movement to new heights.
What began as a small protest at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, turned into a 70,000 person movement.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.”
- Judge William Young, September 30, 2025
What felony tho? What law is she breaking?
Authoritarianism in plain sight.
Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak.
She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.
UPDATE on the Border Patrol arrest outside of Newsom's press conference last week. A dozen Border Patrol agents descended on the streets outside his conference. They ended up arresting a delivery driver with no criminal record — then appear to have lied and claimed he was a drug dealer.
Ann Coulter got roasted. #cdnpoli

The war is apparently Zelensky’s fault. Tomorrow is going to be another shit show.
From Twitter: David Oscar Markus & @domarkus X.com Dear @MuellerSheWrote : There is no such thing as work release in federal prison, so your reporting is false. All you had to do was ask any criminal law practitioner, and they would have explained this to you. I wish we had work release in federal prison — and I wish we treated people behind bars better than we do. How about you? I'm surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine's transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee. The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal. But it's still prison. And despite the soundbites, prison is a truly awful place.
My response on Twitter: Hello, Mr. Markus. Here is the BOP policy that says Out Custody is eligible for work details outside prison. Will you go on record that she will not be allowed outside despite her waiver? Also, who authorized the waiver, and in exchange for what? The BOP policy reads: ₽5100.08 9/12/2006 Chapter 2, Page 4 OUT CUSTODY. The second lowest custody level assigned to an inmate requiring the second lowest level of security and staff supervision. An inmate who has OUT custody may be assigned to less secure housing and may be eligible for work details outside the institution's secure perimeter with a minimum of two-hour intermittent staff supervision.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.
Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.
Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.
the entire republican party is currently involved in a cover up involving the worlds most notorious underage sex trafficking ring
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”

The family of Virginia Giuffre responds to the Maxwell prison move: "President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter."
Listen to this mealy-mouthed non-answer about the billions in CANCER RESEARCH funding Trump's budget chief is illegally blocking.
Clinical trials have been cut short. Research is shutting down. We're talking irreparable harm.
Keep speaking up until they get this money out.
Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.
All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
Willing to restructure my entire essay because affect and effect made zero sense to me in college 🤷🏾♀️
ever since that man’s base began calling for the epstein files he’s talked about obama & russia, released files on mlk, and attempted to resurrect arguments about the washington football team’s name. boy is playing the hits, we’re about a week away from an all caps post about colin kaepernick.
A president that makes Bernice King's life easier would be great.
The House approved a Trump administration plan to rescind $9 billion in previously allocated funds, including $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
No
I'm sorry, nine HUNDRED former DOJ lawyers all signed this letter opposing Emil Bove's nomination to be an appellate federal judge?
900?!
If releasing the Epstein list would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.
Now THAT's a cease and desist letter
go on
