**The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is rewriting the future for students, and Black students carry the heaviest weight.** Starting July 1, 2026, the law caps federal student loans at $257,500 for life and eliminates Grad PLUS, the program grad students relied on to cover their full cost of attendance. It also replaces income-driven repayment plans like IBR, PAYE, and SAVE with a new system that costs borrowers more each month. Black borrowers already carry the highest average student loan balances of any group, so this hits home hard. The bill cuts nearly $350 billion from education funding, with $287 billion sliced from SNAP and $900 billion from health programs. Medicaid ranks as the third-largest funder of K-12 public education, so these cuts ripple straight into classrooms and services for students with disabilities. The bill also launches the nation's first federal school voucher program. Vouchers trace back to segregationists who used them to dodge Brown v. Board of Education, and they continue to deepen racial segregation today. Black college students report sacrificing basic needs just to stay enrolled as tuition climbs toward six figures at some schools. The article can be found at [thegrio.com](thegrio.com/2026/09/08/blackโ€ฆ). HBCUs serve large populations of low-income and first-generation students, and shrinking Medicaid and SNAP support puts real pressure on their ability to stay enrolled and finish strong. **Know the facts. Share the facts. Protect access to education for the next generation.** #StudentDebt #EducationEquity #HBCUs #BlackStudentsMatter #ProtectFinancialAid #OneBigBeautifulBillAct #CollegeAffordability #KnowYourRights

Good! The family of the pregnant woman who died sues Ken Paxton for wrongful death. Tierra Walker, 37, developed severe pre-eclampsia (life-threatening) at 20 weeks. Physicians would not perform an abortion to save her life because of the abortion ban in Texas. She died. ๐Ÿคฌ theguardian.com/us-news/2026โ€ฆ

Jon Stewart on the Supreme Court: โ€œThey have single-handedly made it impossible for us to reform and save our democracy. The way they have made it that corporations are people and money is speech. There has to be a process of amending the Constitution. This idea that Citizens United stands as the law of the land is the biggest bunch of shit. The Constitution is in a suicide pact and money in elections is killing this countryโ€

I call BS on this being racial. Whoever wrote this is stoking racial hatred. These are the fucked-up conditions in many jails and prisons. Many of you voted for this shitโ€”you just thought it would only happen to Black people.
Outrage is growing after a White inmate in a South Carolina jail overseen by a Black administrator DIED OF THIRST on his cell floor... surrounded by FECES INCHES DEEP, with the water to his sink TURNED OFF. He was drinking from his OWN TOILET to survive. He wrote letters to his father begging for help, saying he was being tortured for being White. His name was Gary "Bubba" Blair. He was 43 years old. He was the caretaker for his elderly father. He had two nephews he loved dearly and a dog named Scrubby. Why was he in jail in the first place? In February, Bubba arrived at his sister's home wearing a sheriff's office golf shirt, a security badge, handcuffs, and pepper spray. Deputies arrested him for impersonating an officer. A judge ruled he was not mentally competent to stand trial and ORDERED the state to place him in treatment on June 3. The South Carolina Office of Mental Health never followed the order. Bubba remained in that jail for 181 days waiting for a bed. He died 51 days after a judge ordered him to get help. In April, he wrote to his father: "I've lost about 90 pounds so far. I'm starving to death in here; only two meals a day, that's it... you starve, and I also have to drink from my toilet and no mattress to sleep on, only a hard ground." "I've been abused by staff and assaulted by everyone on the unit; I had to go 28 days without a shower... no help for a white man" "The staff is very nasty to white inmates thanks to Troy Ellerbe and James Dixon." Then in May, Bubba did something haunting. He wrote a letter to a CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE pleading for help. The letter had the wrong address. It was returned. It never got there. Meanwhile, sources say the water to his sink had been SHUT OFF. His cell floor and walls were caked in feces INCHES DEEP. He was kept alone. Never let out. Other inmates, who were allowed a few hours out of their cells, told reporters they saw Bubba drinking toilet water. So they filled an empty potato chip bag with water and slid it through the food slot in his door!!!!! Most of it spilled before it could reach him. On July 24th, jailers found him dead on the floor. 49 days later, the autopsy was released. Cause of death: profound dehydration due to WATER DEPRIVATION. Manner of death: HOMICIDE. The report also found bedsores on his HEELS, consistent with lying on a concrete floor for days. Acute bronchial pneumonia. Severe weight loss. Physical evidence that he had been DRINKING TOILET WATER. He had lost so much weight and was in such terrible condition that his sister and aunt went to the funeral home and did not recognize his body. The sheriff fired the Black jail administrator 5 days after Bubba died, and won't say why. Bubba Blair sang for seniors in nursing homes. He looked after his dad. He deserved far better than dying of thirst on a concrete floor. Say his name. Gary "Bubba" Blair.

What the actual fuck
Police raid schoolโ€”waving around automatic rifles pointed at kids. Student attendance is 92% Black & Hispanic. "Now we're hostages!" student gasped. Heavily armed SWAT team held school on Code Red Lockdown for 2 hours. Started when someone overheard comment about a gunโ€”then a large group of students started running away in the hallway. Students hid in closets & turned off classroom lightsโ€”fearing an active shooter. Police issued a statement that "all involved parties have been identified and are detained" and that "no firearm was found on campus." Incident occurred at Plantation High School in Broward County, Florida. Pinky Smith doesn't have an active account on this platformโ€”so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

The Kennedy Memorial is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy. Matisse tapestries found throughout were gifted from France. The massive starburst chandelier in the Opera Hall, and lights along walkways, were a gift from Sweden. The record-breaking stage curtains were a gift from Japan. They had to build special looms to weave them because of how big they are. The grounds are beautiful with displays of art. This is what Trump is destroying.

๐Ÿšจ A barber was asleep on his couch when a SWAT team blew his door off its hinges, launched it across the room, and arrested him โ€” all over an allegation of selling $100 of cocaine to a confidential informant.

#President #JoeBiden was the most pro-black president since President Lyndon B. Johnson (#LBJ) . Donโ€™t take my word for it; look at his receipt!!! Biden: The Most Pro-Black President Since LBJ? Hereโ€™s the Receipts ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Judicial appointments: Biden built the most diverse federal bench in history. 60% of his picks came from Black, Hispanic, Asian, or other minority backgrounds. He placed Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court as the first Black woman justice. Historic firsts: Kamala Harris became the first Black woman AND first HBCU grad to serve as VP. Biden signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act, finally making lynching a federal hate crime. 7 Black Cabinet Members: Kamala Harris (VP), Lloyd Austin (first Black Defense Secretary), Marcia Fudge (HUD), Michael Regan (EPA), Susan Rice (Domestic Policy Council), Cecilia Rouse (Council of Economic Advisers), and Linda Thomas-Greenfield (UN Ambassador). Economic wins: Black unemployment dropped from 9%+ to 6.1%, matching pre-pandemic lows. Black wealth rose 60% relative to pre-pandemic levels, the largest increase on record. HBCU investment: Over $17 billion poured into HBCUs from 2021-2024. These schools produce 40% of all Black engineers, 50% of all Black teachers, and 70% of all Black doctors and dentists. Housing & family support: Biden took action on housing discrimination and secured child care funding where 40% of beneficiaries are Black kids. The real talk: These numbers matter against decades of redlining and wealth gaps that didnโ€™t disappear overnight. Younger Black Americans still rate Bidenโ€™s economic impact lower than older generations do. The legacy gets debated, and that debate is part of the story too. #BlackHistory #BidenLegacy #BlackExcellence #President #JoeBiden

So Trump says he targeted Minnesota to crack down on fraud but pardoned a bunch of fraudsters. One a repeat offender. Republicans, silent. Adriana Isabel Camberos: Convicted of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, and seven counts of wire fraud and aiding and abetting. This was her second pardon from Trump, following a prior commutation in 2021 for a different fraud involving counterfeit energy drinks. Andres Enrique Camberos: Convicted of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, and seven counts of wire fraud and aiding and abetting. He was Adrianaโ€™s brother and co-conspirator in a scheme involving lying to manufacturers for discounted goods. Terren Scott Peizer: Convicted of securities fraud and two counts of insider trading. Julio Herrera Velutini: Convicted of conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud in a corruption schemeโ€ฆ #DemsUnited

This dirty pig had NO reason to abuse the compliant, non-violent Black man, pulling his hair and striking him in the face. That "cop" needs to be fired and prosecuted, and the police department sued for millions. THAT is why we protest.
