Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world.

Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace.

Now, they’re being deported.

Haitian immigrants went to Colorado for the promise of jobs. What they found is being called human trafficking.

Haitian immigrants moved to Colorado on the promise of a good job and a place to stay—only to be mistreated. Now, they could be deported

In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.

Thomas Howland, 1856
John Blanchard

Portrait of a distringuished Black man from the 19th centrure wearing fine clothes, including high collar and tie of the day.
Museum Text:
Thomas Howland, the subject of this unusually expressive portrait, was a dock worker in Providence, Rhode lsland, In 1857 he became the city's first Black elected oficial when he was amed warden of its Third Ward. However, that same year he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wite and daughter, perhaps in response to the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott case that denied African Americans the protections of U.S. citizenship. Because of this decision, Howland's application for a passport was denied, despite his status as a free man with the right to vote in his home state (he did eventually make it to Liberia). Howland's confident posture echoes that of the earlier Portrait of a Gentleman shown nearby, the fashionable attire of both sitters serving to reinforce thelir self-possession.

Republican noise machines from social media to podcasts get a lot of attention and play to the masses, obviously. And the facts get drowned out. They've done a great job of cornering the media market and marketing to the dumbest group of muthafukkas alive.

it also can cover up the woody-ness of turmeric, so your latte is now quite beneficial. I use "pumpkin spice" and turmeric almost daily in my coffee

Gravy Crockett @bostonjerry.bsky.social · 1d

"Pumpkin spice" is just cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. It exists because it's such a warming and comforting combination that it can make PUMPKIN taste edible. What's not to like? You don't like feeling cozy?

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

Samantha Wynn Greenstone knows her husband is gay. Yet they’ve been in a committed monogamous relationship for nearly 10 years.

They’re not alone. A new crop of couples are openly speaking about their mixed-orientation marriages, divorced from sexual attraction but not love. https://wapo.st/4nQtDmk

**Image description:** An infographic about visible and invisible disabilities on a light gray background.

At the top, the text reads "SOME DISABILITIES LOOK LIKE THIS" above a row of seven stick figure icons showing people with various visible mobility aids and disabilities: a person standing, a person using a cane, a person using crutches, a person using a wheelchair, a person using a walker, a person using a cane, and a person using a prosthetic leg.

Below that, the text reads "SOME LOOK LIKE THIS" above a single stick figure icon of a person standing without any visible mobility aids or indicators of disability.

At the bottom, the text reads "Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there."

The image raises awareness that many disabilities are invisible and not immediately apparent to others.
