Million Man March - 30 Years Strong
October 16, 1995 A day when a million brothers stood shoulder to shoulder, not in protest, but in purpose.
30 years later, that power still echoes - in classrooms, courtrooms, barbershops, and block corners. The march never ended... it just kept moving through us.

Waiting on the ruling... but all I feel is gloom... Snatching away Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act will be a knockout punch.

Yesterday, SCOTUS heard a case that could make it easier for GOP states to get away with racial gerrymandering ahead of the 2026 midterms. Should the court rule to weaken a key voting protection, it could kill what’s left of a vital civil rights law.

I’m not one of the 300k Black women who lost their jobs this year, but I’m definitely a Black woman who is affected by this because I’ve been unemployed 888 days today.

If you’d like to help me get groceries and household needs, I’d be eternally grateful. Cash.me/$katlynd

“Pastors, preachers, and Christian influencers are calling for society to return to the 1950s. They aim to change the social and political landscape to ensure that more women are powerless, voiceless, in the kitchen, barefoot, and pregnant.”

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Sigh…

So many people have left this earth in 2025.

Among them are Kimberly Hébert Gregory, former Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, Diane Keaton, and now, D’Angelo.

May God give comfort and strength to their families and all who loved them.

Gwen Stefani follows Turning Point USA on IG.

My initial reaction was shock because I thought Gwen was a feminist. I am not familiar with her politics. But, considering who she’s married to and her new beliefs, I shouldn’t be.
