January 6th was more than an attack on the Capitol it was an attack on democracy. The hate, violence, and division on display showed how deep the wounds are in our country. We can never forget, and we must stand against hate to heal and move forward. #StandAgainstHate

The fight for civil rights requires consistency, courage, and commitment. We cannot have allies who show up for one battle but disappear for the next. If you're going to stand with us, you must be prepared to stand with us all the way through.

Here we go again with Trump trying to control a false narrative. Facts matter. Evidence matters. Without either one, you don’t have a case.

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying. Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California.

Titles and labels can be misleading. Not everyone is a hero, and not everyone who claims Christianity lives by its principles.

This is no longer a coincidence. Six more Trump supporting, self professed "MAGA Christians" arrested for child sex crimes including two women, a retired police officer, and a fire fighter. Photo courtesy: @Suzierizzo1

Trump has repeatedly advanced policies that enriched himself and his businesses. Reports of stock trading while serving as President are yet another reminder that we are witnessing the most openly corrupt administration in modern American history.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais is a warning we cannot ignore. This ruling will shape redistricting battles across the South at the federal, state, and local levels. When we do not stand up, Black and Brown voters do not just lose a voice, we lose ground in

I don't care what they say; we are committed to fighting this redistricting no matter what. There are more at stake than meets the eye, and we’ve come too far to ever turn around!

Ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun, that’s what we say in the country. Virginians made their move, backed a new map, and shifted the balance. Power looks different when the people decide to use it.

It’s official: Virginians have rejected Trump and Republicans’ efforts to rig the midterms. In less than 196 days, we will flip the House blue.

Our Dear Ole College Home now has stable, committed leadership. I’m confident Dr. Denise Jones-Gregory will take Jackson State to new heights. Join me in praying for and supporting her as our 14th President. The future of JSU is bright. Congratulations, Dr. Gregory!
