I've been able to track down descendants of a key figure in the Rosedale Banishment. As I've written about before, there was a man named Levi Samuels, who was a jitney driver in the community. His father, Henry R. Samuels, was a prominent black leader, possibly affiliated with.

Ireland, the sorrowful yet unbroken, rises not with armies but with emaciated figures who turn their own bodies into battlefields. In the silence of the prison cell, Dolours and Marian chose hunger as their blade, their refusal of bread becoming a cry louder than cannon fire.

The 1608 uprising led by Sir Cahir O’Doherty — with the McDevitts among his key supporters — is one of the last major Gaelic revolts in Ulster before the full implementation of the Ulster Plantation, and its failure created the final preconditions for that colonial project. When

From clinic blockades to Jan. 6: Carol Mason traces how anti-abortion activism merged with far-right extremism, white nationalism & authoritarian politics. Essential reading. #abortion #antiabortion #rescuemovement.🔗

There is a sickness that stalks our streets and shadows our homes. It is not a distant threat on some foreign shore, but one that lives among us—ravaging our sons, our daughters, our neighbors. The scourge of heroin is not a problem to be whispered about in shame; it is a.

My friends, our nation has always been at its best when we have faced the difficult questions of liberty and responsibility with honesty, courage, and compassion. We are a people who believe that government must not only protect our freedoms but also ensure that every citizen has.

Texas Senate hearing spotlighted growing tensions around abortion law clarity vs. access. Bipartisan bill could offer guidance—if it doesn’t open the door to reviving pre-Roe criminal statutes. Dive into the debate: @amy_bresnen @SteveBresnen #abortion

Sometimes I wonder what the point of journalism is. You can show the world your reporting, what is clearly the truth and then it will be disputed or dismissed as your truth when documents, testimony and observation show it’s clearly an honest portrait.

I don’t think Summer Lee is leading any bipartisan effort. I think she didn’t know the rules of that committee, and was manipulated by Republicans into voting to subpoena the Clintons for a deposition. Now they’re presenting a witch hunt against Clinton as a bipartisan effort.

Does anyone want to explain to me the reason that Summer Lee voted to subpoena a Democratic President and the first woman to ever run for President on a major party ticket, but that were not having Trump take a deposition?.

Rep. Summer Lee, a progressive Democrat from Pennsylvania, voted in favor of the House Oversight Committee’s effort to subpoena both Bill and Hillary Clinton for depositions related to Jeffrey Epstein. As ranking member of the Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement, Lee joined.

I’m gonna be honest with you guys. There’s nothing to hang the hat on insofar as Clinton’s relationship with Epstein. At most, you have a few humanitarian trips and a birthday note sent to a campaign and foundation donor. I haven’t looked into Trump that much yet. But in brief.

There’s no evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell accompanied Bill Clinton on any of the documented flights he took aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. Flight logs from 2002 and 2003 show Clinton traveling internationally with staff and Secret Service as part of Clinton Foundation and.

Could Bill Clinton have taken a flight with Jeffrey Epstein and told his Secret Service detail to stay behind? Technically, yes—but it’s highly unlikely. Former presidents can formally decline Secret Service protection, either permanently or temporarily, but doing so requires.

Bill Clinton’s association with Jeffrey Epstein has been a source of speculation and misinformation for years. But the public record—flight logs, foundation records, and testimony—tells a story that’s more nuanced than social media claims suggest. Clinton did fly on Epstein’s.

I didn't have a purpose when I was writing those tweets about the politicians' historical campaigns and styles. But if you wanted to craft compelling campaigns in the current moment, I would take the themes and behaviors that were popular within those campaigns of FDR, JFK, Jimmy.

In the summer of 1994, a film about a slow-speaking Southerner with a gift for stumbling into history arrived in American theaters—and very little about it seemed destined for myth. It was quiet in its ambitions, adapted from a quirky novel few had read, starring a likable actor

By the 1990s, the great American consensus—the idea of a singular national narrative—had begun to fray in earnest. The Cold War was over. The enemy abroad had vanished. But at home, a thousand voices began to rise, no longer content to be footnotes in someone else’s story.

By 1904, Theodore Roosevelt had already become something more than a man. He was a force—loud, restless, and unavoidable. He had entered the presidency not by election, but by tragedy. The bullet that killed McKinley had elevated the youngest president in American history to the
