How did slaves find out about the Emancipation Proclamation? By word of mouth.
Many slaves in all USA states were unable to read. Free & educated Blacks helped pass the word along by reading the document to other Blacks.
Hampton University. was the site for one of those public readings.

The Supreme Court has done the best thing we can hope for with this Republican controlled court: it stayed the hell out of an issue. Al Gore's internet might still be broken, but the Court saved it by not trying to fix it.

Maybe Kevin McCarthy was just dazed from the dizzying effects of trying to manage the crazies in his own party while cutting a deal with the White House. Maybe he just likes playing the blame game. Maybe he's an idiot.

Congratulations to the first female mayor of Jacksonville, Donna Deegan.

Feinstein is 89 years old and is no longer doing her job. I say this with great sadness, as one of her personal friends as well as one of her constituents.
But resign she must. For the good of America.

Why Dianne Feinstein must resign. Now. - Robert Reich
I’ve known Senator Dianne Feinstein for many years. It’s time for her to step down. I say this with great sadness — as one of her friends, one of her admirers, one of her constituents, and as someone who cares (as I’m sure she does) about the future of America.

“Until we throw out the bums in office who rely on thoughts and prayers—and stand in the way of gun laws that can save lives and slow the bloodshed—then we can continue to decry the horror while the soundtrack of our lives is a drumbeat of mass shootings.”

I am so sick of these mass shootings and the refusal or failure of elected officials to stem this death and destruction.

In any civilized country, Sandy Hook and the murder of 20 first graders would’ve been the last mass shooting in the country. Lesson learned from Dunblane. Instead, gun laws were loosened over and over again. By the bloodthirsty GOP. When will enough be enough? #GunControlNow

Ifell Awake @IfellAwakeWhat irritates me most about Twitter is the way Google offers tweets in Internet searches, especially pertaining to current events. It's some type of mafia rigged system that pushes all other platforms into the wings. Does Twitter pay Google for the privilege?11:54 AM - May 06, 2023
