In 1776, the Founders’ promise of “all men are created equal” remained distant for many. Trace the heroic stories of the enslaved and freed Black Americans who fought to define democracy and their liberty through the Revolutionary War. “Declarations: Black Americans and the Revolutionary War” includes visuals generated with the help of AI tools to supplement historical depictions. These are based on the work of a fine artist and clearly distinguished in the film by a rough, black frame. Follow the stories of four Black Americans as they navigate our country’s fight for independence and their individual pursuits of freedom. Discover the stories of James Lafayette, who served as a double agent for the Patriots and helped bring down the British at Yorktown; Harry Washington, who was enslaved by George Washington and escaped Mount Vernon to join the British troops; Elizabeth Freeman, previously known as Mum Bet, who sued one of the most prominent patriots in Massachusetts while living under his roof; and Abraham Peyton Skipwith, an enslaved man who used his proximity to power and his unusual literacy to petition for his own freedom and become one of the first free Black landowners in Richmond, VA. Harry Washington, who got away and who tasted freedom for many years, was going to be dragged back into slavery.

Dr. Chuck Baldwin explains how Donald Trump is a lifelong gangster. He's a lifelong Zionist. He is a lifelong philanderer. He's a lifelong cheat. He's a lifelong hedonist. He's a lifelong felon. He's a lifelong blackmailer. He's a lifelong bully. He's a lifelong malignant narcissist; and he's a lifelong sexual predator. Since he's been president, he has now joined the ranks of international war criminals and mass murderers. And yet knowing all of this, there are still thousands of pastors and Christians who can continue to give Trump their undying support by supporting him, lauding him, defending him, excusing him. They are party to his criminality.
Jason Watson said I do solemnly swear that I will support & defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies, foreign & domestic, that I will bear true faith & allegiance to the same. That I take this obligation freely w/O any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, & that I will well & faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I'm about to enter. Pres. of the U.S. orders military action against foreign countries absent an emergency scenario.
In the N.E. & also in the Mid-Atlantic, we have had extreme heat the past couple of days; it just broke Sunday in Boston. But it's been very hot; then apparently in DC during the celebration, Mother Nature rained down fury on the people. The weather started to take a turn for the worse; winds starts to pick up here. Aliyah Scooter Caster covered the event. They announced ladies & gents, pls back away from the stage as winds gusted. Some people saw this online & they said, "Look at GOD.
On the Senate floor, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a combat veteran who lost both legs in Iraq directly confronts Pres. Trump, a 5-time draft dodger, over the war in Iran & the men & women he has sent into it. Duckworth invokes the Soldier's Creed, the document she kept beside her hospital bed at Walter Reed & measures Trump against every line of it. She accuses him of abandoning Article One of the Constitution, bypassing Congress entirely, & pursuing a war with no defined endstate.

1000s of mourners gathered in the holy city of Qom on Tuesday as Iran continued the funeral ceremonies for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Aerial footage showed vast crowds filling the streets, waving Iranian flags and carrying portraits of Khamenei during one of the largest public mourning events in the country. The procession stretched for several kilometers & included funeral prayers at the Jamkaran Mosque, one of Shia Islam's most significant sites.

Let’s strip away the lies & call this what it truly is. Iran has been consistently & lawfully executing its rights under the memorandum of understanding, intercepting tankers that blatantly attempted to exploit the Omani corridor while bypassing the designated routes. Pres. Trump, that hegemonic bully that habitually defines rules through bombs & sanctions, has cynically twisted Iran's legitimate defense of its natl. interests into a fabricated pretext for aggression; bombed Iranian ports.
USS Liberty deniers will say Israel’s 1967 attack on the U.S. spy ship was a total accident. Marine Staff Sgt Bryce Lockwood was on the Liberty & says there’s no doubt Israel meant to kill every Amer. on board. There happened to be a African-American Marine, same build that I was, real gentleman, same rank as I was, loaned me a khaki uniform. I had to wear that uniform the next 5 days. I stunk of oil; apart of that was when I got back to the ship, that oil was everywhere.
In one instance, a breastfeeding baby was shot by a quadcopter thru the head & the baby now suffers a permanent paralysis. Quadcopters have thermal imagery. It has infrared heat cameras, which can tell you the shape of the body. Soldiers are able to detect sitting wherever. that this is a child on the screen & ii's like a game for them. Soldiers say that they can sit in a basement of a house safe with your helmet off scratching your balls half-dressed & kill Palestinians.
Iran has really tried have been trying to communicate with Black people. What Iran has told Black people we see you, we understand you. We see all the challenges that you go thru. That's what we also have to deal with as Iranians. There is unanimous fear that is being shared in America, especially towards Black people. One thing that stands out is that the people that are sharing fear are a group of people that don't understand the relationship between Iran & Black Americans.
Do we even have a CIA or is it simply MOSSAD? CIA seems to let Israel run wild in the U.S. They stole our nuclear secrets, uranium, our nuclear triggers, & all of our top secrets, we're like, "Oh, they're our best allies." Epstein was a part of Iran Contra, the covert U.S. OP that included funding the Nicaraguan Contras thru profits from arms sales to Iran, which were linked to drug trafficking in U.S. Black neighborhoods.When I first joined, we didn’t like the Israelis at all.

One of the most fundamental and far-reaching deeds that has been accomplished during the last quarter of a century has been that by which the Negro has been helped to find himself and to learn the secrets of civilization–to learn that there are a few simple, cardinal principles upon which a race must start its upward course, unless it would fail, and its last estate be worse than its first.
On the plantation in Virginia, and even later, Douglass tells how meals were given to the children, very much as dumb animals get theirs. It was a piece of bread here and a scrap of meat there. It was a cup of milk at one time and some potatoes at another.
