The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is the crown jewel of the Civil Rights Movement. People literally died fighting for it. Trump's Supreme Court is playing with the blood of our ancestors.

Tourists, #DontBuyATicket 🎟️. Tourists should avoid animal attractions because they fund systemic cruelty. Behind the scenes, these venues often use abuse, starvation, and isolation to force wild animals into unnatural behaviors. Participating directly finances the illegal wildlife trade and supports industries prioritizing profit over animal welfare.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

I remember the first time I cooked beans in Haiti. It was 2010, right after the earthquake. I thought I knew what I was doing…Spanish-style, the way I always had. The women cooking in the camp stopped me. They showed me their way. Slow-cooked…mashed into a purée…served over rice. In that moment, I learned what it really means to help after a disaster. You don't come with your own recipes. You listen. You follow. You learn. 16 years later, that lesson is still the foundation of everything @wckitchen does in Haiti. Our local teams and @HASHaiti partners are cooking that same recipe - the right recipe - for families displaced by violence. And this past year, comforting food like those beans, that purée, that bowl of rice have added up to 10 million meals. #ChefsForHaiti

Omaha Beach. June 6, 1944. June 6, 2024.. Eighty years apart. A US veteran pulled President Zelensky close. "You're the savior of the people. You're my hero." "No, no. You saved Europe. You are our hero." "I pray for you." Melvin Hurwitz, 99. A man who crossed these waters in 1944, calling Ukraine's president his hero. Some moments you can't stage. Two generations of men fighting the same war against the same idea - that one country can simply erase another. We document these moments so they don't disappear. Help us keep going.

Pete Hegseth has fired twelve generals. Between them, five hundred years of military experience. Desert Storm. Iraq. Afghanistan. Gone. No reason given. In the middle of a war. These weren’t pen-pushers. They were the men who actually know what a ground invasion of Iran looks like. Perhaps they also know something else. That the man now running the Pentagon spent his career behind a Fox News desk rather than a command post. That his qualifications for managing the world’s most powerful military were, broadly speaking, strong opinions and good hair. Funny how they’re exactly the ones Hegseth just removed. Their replacements come with one qualification: complete loyalty to the vision. Five hundred years of hard-won, blood-soaked knowledge. Shown the door by a television presenter. What could possibly go wrong. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

In the Nikopol district of Dnipro region, one person was killed and eleven others were injured as a result of russian attacks, including a six‑year‑old girl.

Leadership isn’t a title, it’s how you show up. It’s courage when things get hard, support when it matters most, and consistency even when no one’s watching. Let’s create meaningful change together. 💙 #ChooseToInclude and make an impact: brnw.ch/21x1iOv

KALLAS: Whoever says "just give your territory away" needs to understand that it's not only territory — it's people. This is what happens to the people in the occupied territories: they are killed, they are tortured, their culture is suppressed. We have to keep this in mind.

New research estimates Russian forces have suffered more than 1 million casualties in its war against Ukraine. At the same time, Russia's territorial gains have been some of the slowest in modern history. Special correspondent @SimonOstrovsky got a rare look at the Kremlin's war machine. In this report, he reveals the brutality and the corruption eating away at the Russian military from the inside. Warning: This report includes scenes that viewers may find disturbing.

"Without a weapon, it is impossible to defend against an attacker. You can only surrender or die... Every day of delay means new deaths." - Olena Zelenska 🇺🇦 So..Wake up, world!!

On April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated, my father delivered what would be his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” He spoke with a clarity that came from conviction, not certainty. He acknowledged the difficulty of the days ahead, yet he was not moved by fear. He was anchored in purpose and in a faith that justice would prevail. What stands out to me is not only what he said, but how he said it. He was preparing people to stay committed, to stay disciplined, and to continue the work, even without him. His words are not just history. They are instruction. Watch the full speech: youtu.pulse.ly/fymqiqfrfx #MLK #BelovedCommunity #Nonviolence365

Paula White-Cain didn’t just cross a line, she obliterated it. To compare Donald Trump to Jesus Christ is not just bad theology, it’s blasphemy wrapped in political propaganda. It’s heresy. Jesus said, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Trump deports Black and brown immigrants and cages children at the border. Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” Trump protects and surrounds himself with men tied to child exploitation, shielding rich and powerful pedophiles while the vulnerable suffer. Jesus healed the sick. Trump strips healthcare from them. Jesus fed the hungry. Trump cuts SNAP benefits and calls it policy. Jesus stood with “the least of these.” Trump neglects, demonizes, and exploits them. Jesus was a brown-skinned man from the region of Northeast Africa. Trump has a documented history of degrading Black people from that region, calling them “garbage,” and calling their countries “sh*tholes.” This is a mockery of Christianity and in affront to the Gospel. This is what you call idolatry, the elevation of a corrupt political figure to messianic status. Every preacher who sat there and nodded, every “spiritual leader” who clapped, every so called Christian who defends this madness, you are not defending Christ, you are betraying Him. You cannot preach Jesus and promote Trump as His equivalent. You cannot serve God and bow to Caesar. This is heresy. This is hypocrisy. This is a dangerous distortion of the Gospel.

1500 days of full, brutal war. 1500 days of pain, sorrow and devastation. But also — 1500 days of ironclad resistance, inspiring courage, resilient defiance, and stubborn solidarity. For 1500 days, Ukrainians stand as one, supported by our friends. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦
