I regret to inform everyone that, I, too, did not receive a Nobel Peace Prize for accomplishments that exist only in my imagination. I ask for grace and understanding during this difficult time.

🇷🇺🇺🇸The first shipment of Russian diesel is arriving on the US East Coast less than 24 hours after the announcement that sanctions would be lifted. The Russian tanker MINERVA left St. Petersburg, Russia, on September 22 and appears to have been heading toward the US East Coast throughout this time.

Cassidy was quite believable, and very brave to testify. MOST of those who gave testimony were members of his administration, and Republicans. Their own party has let them down, and participated in their persecution.

Fellow Texans - our property taxes increased 85% under Greg Abbott. 85%! Sure, we don't have income tax, so you have to get money from somewhere. But we have a $27B surplus. That's our money! @ginafortexas.bsky.social wants to make Texas affordable again and stop increasing property tax.

Texans work hard for what they earn. That’s why our constitution bans an income tax.

At your local rink or in the Stanley Cup Final, you’ve seen Inglasco’s pucks on the ice. They’re the NHL’s exclusive puck supplier, and they’ve been based in Sherbrooke, Québec, for more than 50 years. So remember: behind every puck drop and every goal, is a little bit of Canada.

#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.

On July 2, 1964, LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title II outlaws discrimination in public accommodations, using the Commerce Clause to desegregate facilities nationwide. Most of the credit goes to U.S. civil rights activists, but the snub of a Ghanaian diplomat played a key role. /end

LBJ signs the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as MLK, other civil rights leaders, members of Congress and other officials look on. You rarely hear about the State Department’s involvement in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because the public history focuses on the moral courage of domestic activists. However, the State Department helped shape Title II (public accommodations) and Title VI (federally assisted programs). While the DOJ chose the Commerce Clause as the primary legal driver for Title II, the State Department’s arguments influenced the “national security” wording in the bill’s preamble. The State Department had a direct hand in drafting Title VI because of its impact on foreign aid. The State Department’s biggest contribution was constructing the bill’s legislative defense. Secretary of State Dean Rusk’s July 1963 testimony embedded Cold War concerns into the Senate committee records, providing a national security justification that the Supreme Court could not easily dismiss.
