Funny how the "cheating" narrative disappears the second you like the numbers. You can’t say Democrats are cheating and at the same time praise your trophy. 🏆🤔 ​Is the "SAVE Act" about security, or is it just your latest phoney way to suppress the vote now that you're losing? The math isn't mathing. #Gaslighting101 #Vote

The Obama's presidential library.. . Why "four hands"? The Obama Presidential Center’s sloped tower was designed around hands joining together to mirror Obama’s roots as a Chicago community organizersymbolizing how individual citizens reach out to form collective power. The 4 facets represent citizen, community, nation & world uniting ("me to we"). While architects view it as a sculptural hands-joined beacon, critics with zero art background just see a Darth Vader helmet or trash can .

Things You Might Not Know About Louis Armstrong 🎺 He learned his craft in juvenile detention: At age 11, Louis was sent to the Colored Waif's Home for Boys after firing a pistol on New Year's Eve, where he received his first formal cornet training. ​He wore a Star of David all his life: As a boy in New Orleans, he was taken in and employed by the Karnofskys, a Jewish immigrant family who helped him buy his very first horn. He wore the pendant to honor their kindness. His signature voice came from a strain: His famous gravelly tone was the result of vocal cord strain, scarring, and surgeries from decades of non-stop touring. He was obsessed with health remedies: Louis was a fanatical advocate for an herbal laxative called Swiss Kriss, losing 100 pounds with it and frequently gifting packets to friends, fans, and fellow musicians. ​He chose Queens over New Orleans for his final resting place: Despite being the global face of New Orleans jazz, he chose to be buried in Flushing, Queens, reflecting his complex feelings toward his hometown's history of segregation. facebook.com/share/g/19ev84S…

The U.S. is literally the #1 producer in the world at 5.2M barrels/day, nearly 20% of global supply. We’re a net exporter of refined fuel and don’t need a single drop of Russian diesel. Trump is finding excuses to help his sweet heart Putin. So why blame Ukraine? Because it’s an easy cover for corporate price gouging while attacking Kyiv for destroying Kremlin war funding. Ukraine striking Russian refineries is self-defense, not the reason your fuel is expensive.

Spotlight on Innovation: Anna M. Mangin & the Pastry Fork (1892) 💡✨ ​On March 1, 1892, African American inventor Anna M. Mangin was granted U.S. Patent No. 470,005 for the Pastry Fork! ​Before her invention, blending pie crusts and biscuit dough was done mostly by hand. The heat from hands often melted the butter or shortening, ruining the dough's texture. ​Anna’s design featured flattened, perforated tines that allowed bakers to effortlessly cut butter into flour without overworking the dough. It was also multi-functional,perfect for mashing potatoes, beating eggs, and squeezing lemon juice. ​Her invention was featured at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, showcasing Black innovation and forever transforming kitchen history.

The 366th Infantry Regiment African American Officers & Enlisted Personnel, formed at Camp Dodge, Iowa, in November 1917, was unique because it included both Black enlisted soldiers and a significant number of Black junior and field-grade officers. ​Combat Overseas: Arriving in France in mid-1918, the 366th saw extensive combat on the Western Front, participating in heavy fighting in the St. Dié Sector, the Marbach Sector, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive—the largest American campaign of the war. The division adopted the black buffalo as its shoulder insignia in tribute to the 19th-century Black 9th and 10th Cavalry regiments ("Buffalo Soldiers"). Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 366th Infantry Regiment, are participating in a timed gas mask drill. In the foreground, smoke or tear gas is deployed to simulate an actual gas attack, forcing soldiers to rapidly don their Corrected English Type (Box Respirator) gas masks within seconds. ​Encampment: In the background, rows of pyramidal canvas bell tents show the regiment's temporary staging area in the Vosges sector shortly before they entered front-line combat.

The Birth of the Traffic Light: How Garrett Morgan Contributed to Modern Road Safety At the turn of the 20th century, city streets were a chaotic mix of horse-drawn carriages, streetcars, early automobiles, and pedestrians. Intersections were inherently dangerous, leading to frequent collisions. ​While early pioneers laid the groundwork, London's John Peake Knight tried a gas-lit semaphore in 1868, Salt Lake City's Lester Wire created a two-color electric light in 1912, and Detroit's William Potts introduced the yellow light in 1920 ,early signals switched abruptly between "Stop" and "Go." Drivers were often caught in the middle of the intersection when traffic started moving from the cross street. ​After witnessing a severe crash between an automobile and a carriage, African American inventor Garrett Morgan designed a solution. On November 20, 1923, he was granted a patent for his three-position mechanical traffic signal. ​The "All-Hold" Safety Phase: Morgan’s T-shaped signal could stop traffic in all directions simultaneously. This gave vehicles time to clear the intersection and gave pedestrians a safe window to cross. ​ At night or during low-traffic hours, it could be set to "half-mast" to warn drivers to proceed with caution. ​Morgan sold his patent rights to General Electric for $40,000. His concept of a dedicated clearance interval remains the foundation of modern traffic safety systems today. Visit us At facebook.com/share/g/1977hBN…
