As your home team takes over your home field tonight, we hope you’re as proud of your city right now as we all are of you. - - - - - - - Willie Mays shot for the Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau “All-Stars” campaign, circa 2000.

Use your voice to protect the arts! Next week, the FY’25 House Interior Appropriations bill will be going to the House floor for consideration. This bill currently appropriates $203.895 million each to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) – this represents a 1.5 percent cut below current funding levels. Two drastic amendments will be offered on the House floor next week by freshman Freedom Caucus member Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK). His amendments would further cut NEA and NEH by an additional $48 million each – cutting budgets by over 23%! A House floor vote on these amendments is likely to happen the week of July 22nd. Please write to your Representative urging him/her to VOTE NO on the Rep. Brecheen floor amendments to prevent further cuts to the NEA and NEH. https://lnkd.in/gqTNZX3B

#onthisday On July 2, 1777, #Vermont became the first territory in what would become the #UnitedStates to abolish slavery. This historic decision was made when Vermont adopted its constitution, which included a clause that prohibited slavery. The Vermont Constitution stated that no adult should be held in servitude unless bound by personal consent or by law for the payment of debts, fines, or similar obligations. This landmark move was significant as it predated the abolition of slavery in the United States by nearly a century and set a progressive precedent for other states and territories. #Vermont's action was part of a broader context of increasing abolitionist sentiment in the late #18th #century, driven by Enlightenment ideals of liberty and equality. The state's decision highlighted the growing resistance to the institution of slavery and laid the groundwork for future legislative and social efforts to end slavery throughout the United States.

🗽Today, we celebrate Juneteenth and a groundbreaking step towards racial justice in NY: Governor Hochul and state legislators have established a Reparations Commission to address the legacy of slavery and ongoing inequity. 🤝🏾 New Yorkers for Reparations (NY4R), a grassroots coalition building the movement for reparations in New York, is gathering signatures and rallying New Yorkers to ensure the commission's success. ➤ But the work has just begun. The Commission needs widespread support to counter MAGA Republican opposition, who seek to whitewash history and block progress. As the NY4R statement says: "Gov. Hochul and state legislators created this commission in response to the demands of New Yorkers across race and place who know reparations are urgent and necessary for making equality real for Black New Yorkers. And we know that the commissioners selected for the task embody the necessary expertise, experience, and values for giving us a roadmap to righting the wrongs of injustice in our state from its foundation.” Join us in taking action this Juneteenth – 📄 Read the full NY4R press release here: https://lnkd.in/dzTr9xMw ✍🏽 Sign NY4R's statement for New Yorkers supporting reparations in the press release 📢 Share this post to spread the word about New York’s historic opportunity for reparations. #Juneteenth #Reparations #RacialJustice #NewYork #NY4R #ReparationsNow #SupportReparations

What’s amazing about this protest is the students here [GUEST] on “Student Visas” afforded by a corrupted US State Department under Biden. All assume they have the rights afforded an American! [The Greatest Country in the World], hands down! The current [weak] president WILL be voted out, bottom line! The Facts; 1. It’s crucial to recognize that non-immigrant visas do not automatically grant the same rights as U.S. citizens or permanent residents. 2. Student visa holders are subject to specific regulations, including maintaining full-time enrollment, reporting address changes, and adhering to visa expiration dates. 3. While they enjoy certain privileges, they do not have the same voting rights, or protection under the First Amendment as [REAL] Americans! There's a simple solution, cancel their Visas and deport them! The University of Iran is offering FREE scholarships, let them go there and protest!
The NYPD is unafraid to say it. We are proud to be American. We are proud to protect New York City and uphold our nation’s sacred principles of freedom, justice and democracy. It’s what defines the American spirit. We will always defend everyone’s right to free speech while ensuring public safety in the greatest city in the world.
