On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat—and changed the course of history. Her steadfast courage reshaped our nation and still calls us to stand up, speak out, and fight for justice and equality every single day.

#Scrooge #ChristmasCarol

Every holiday season, I watch as many versions of this film classic story as I can, from 1935 to Bill Murray's version. If I can watch Capt. Picard be Scrooge, I wanna see the pirate give it a try.😉

So yeah, I wanna see it.

“At a conference in Algiers, diplomats and leaders convened to advance an African Union resolution passed at a meeting earlier this year calling for justice and reparations for victims of colonialism.”

Colonialism still shapes our present. Colonial states need to make reparations for their harms.
African nations push for recognition of colonial crimes and reparations
African leaders are pushing to have colonial-era crimes recognized, criminalized and addressed through reparations.

#OTD we remember Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman in Congress and the first Black candidate to seek a major party’s nomination for president. Her leadership changed American politics forever.

Many dismissed her run for the presidency in 1972 as little more than a farce, but no one told Shirley Chisholm. Born today in 1924, Chisholm (a Congresswoman from New York) ran a credible, principled campaign for the Democratic nomination – her slogan: “Unbought & Unbossed.” Chisholm died in 2005.

1. 4.5 billion years old. Time and Mother Nature. No matter how big & bad some folk think they are. Time moves forward and will always leave you behind. Mother Nature just do what she do. Clean up your rooms (planet). "Hard head make a soft behind." Folks used to say.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released on this day (Nov 28) in 1986. The film had originally been planned for release in mid-December. The studio believed this would allow it to maximize earnings because the film would be in theaters during the Christmas holiday.

The rising unemployment rate among Black women is a five-alarm fire.

It is a crisis for Black women, Black families, and Black futures—and a glaring red flag for our economy.

NEWS: We’re suing the Trump Administration over policy changes that could significantly cut federal funding for permanent housing.

These cuts could force thousands of Marylanders into homelessness. We refuse to allow these destructive federal decisions to drag Maryland backwards.
