Just so you understand the depth of the cynicism: Trump’s failed war with Iran not only raised America's gas prices, but also global oil prices, which allowed Russia to make a gigantic amount of money and fund the killing of Ukrainians. And then they blame Ukraine for a disaster of

Thank you all for your support. This situation is heartbreaking for Ukrainians because every cent russia makes on diesel funds this war. Over here, that money isn't just an abstract concept, it causes devastating damage: more destroyed towns, a harder winter, and very real loss of life.

Bottom line, folks: parties evolve, but ideology remains consistent. The 19th-century Southern Democrats were conservative white supremacists. Today, those exact ideological views align with the far-right, not modern liberalism. This cannot be denied. I'm done.🎤🔚 www.thebulwark.com/p/gop-republ...

People gather near the Lincoln Memorial for a “Defend the Vote” rally in Washington, DC, on August 28, 2026, coinciding with the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 “March on Washington” rally for civil rights. A US federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order on August 27 curbing the use of mail-in ballots, the latest twist in a legal dispute months before November’s midterm elections. Trump signed an order in March seeking to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the midterms, but it was immediately met with multiple legal challenges. (Photo by Ken Cedeno / AFP via Getty Images)

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1957: President Eisenhower apologizes to Ghanaian Finance Minister Komla Agbeli Gbedemah, who was denied service in a segregated restaurant. It was one of many incidents involving African dignitaries and a factor in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. /1

Ghanaian Finance Minister Komla Abela Gbedemah (left) meets with President Dwight D. Eisenhower (center) and Vice President Richard Nixon (right) at the White House on Oct. 10, 1957. The meeting was arranged after Gbedemah was refused indoor service at a Howard Johnson’s restaurant in Dover, Del. President Eisenhower issued a formal apology and invited Gbedemah to the White House for breakfast to address the incident. He and Nixon expressed regret and discussed financial assistance for Ghana’s Akosombo Dam project. Following the incident, Howard Johnson’s management instructed the Dover restaurant to serve all customers regardless of race. However, Howard Johnson’s operated largely through a franchise model, and individual owners often adhered to local Jim Crow laws or deep-seated regional customs. The refusal to implement a nationwide policy turned Howard Johnson’s into a prime target for civil rights groups. Photo credit: Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum.
