Where is Black MAGA right now? As Black History Month unfolds, we’re watching a president share AI-generated images that dehumanize Barack and Michelle Obama, while simultaneously attempting to sanitize the history of Medgar Evers. This video calls out the silence. It confronts the effort to remove the racist reality behind Evers’ assassination and names Byron De La Beckwith for exactly what he was: a white supremacist who murdered a World War II veteran, a father, a civil rights leader, and a man who fought to desegregate the University of Mississippi. This isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about truth, history, and accountability. When Black history is being distorted in real time, silence is not neutral. The question remains: where is Black MAGA, and why aren’t they speaking up?

In Bad Bunny’s song “NUEVAYoL,” there’s a moment where someone says “The best in the world, Puerto Rico,” and that voice belongs to boxing legend Tito Trinidad. That line comes from an era when Trinidad was undefeated dominating Madison Square Garden and beating some of the biggest names in boxing proving Puerto Rico’s excellence on a global stage. Decades later Bad Bunny stands on another massive stage the Super Bowl carrying that same energy pride and confidence. Different arenas different generations but the same message Puerto Rico continues to show the world what excellence looks like. From the boxing ring to the halftime stage seguimos aquí. #seguimosaqui #education #Puertorico #nyc #badbunny

George Wallace was an American politician best known for serving four terms as governor of Alabama and for becoming one of the most recognizable defenders of segregation during the Civil Rights Movement. Born in 1919 in Clio, Alabama, Wallace rose to national prominence after declaring, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” during his 1963 inaugural address as governor. He became a symbol of Southern resistance to desegregation and federal civil rights enforcement. Wallace is also remembered for the 1963 “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” at the University of Alabama, where he attempted to block Black students from enrolling in compliance with federal desegregation orders. Although largely symbolic, the moment became one of the defining images of opposition to the Civil Rights Movement. #History

The other day i reposted an article from a page that stated that a Dominican woman was suing her employer for saying she was black. I originally thought it was a real article and reposted it along with my commentary and once i was brought to my attention that it was fake i removed it. I sincerely apologize to @sashamerci for this because i should have done my due diligience in making sure this was a legitimate case.

America never fully ended forced labor. It changed the language around it. Today, incarcerated workers generate billions of dollars in labor while aging behind bars at rates never seen before. Entire towns can inflate their population, political influence, and even “diversity” numbers by counting prisoners as residents, despite those prisoners not being allowed to vote there or truly belong to those communities. This video breaks down the hidden economics of incarceration, the rise of aging prison populations, prison labor, prison gerrymandering, and how the prison system still shapes political and economic power in America. Sources include the Prison Policy Initiative, ACLU, Sentencing Project, and Prisoners of the Census.
