If you’re a Republican feeling left behind by your party, this is a campaign for you.

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Own a small business or live in Five Points? Join us for a townhall at @maydaysaloncoop on Monday, October 19th at 6 PM to discuss why small businesses are closing, corporate chains are moving in and what we can do about it as a community to ensure a localized prosperity for all.

She is apparently a social worker and constituent for a Republican Congressman who some members of elite corporate media treat as if he were a moderate. This is beyond disgraceful and every single Republican in Congress owns this.

This made me cry. This 12 year old describes what he and other students are experiencing, the destruction of public education, the denial of their futures basically. Such a well spoken young man. What are we doing to our children? 😩

The Defense Dept has deleted references to Black, Hispanic & female service members as well as topics such as the Civil War from its website in order to remove all references to diversity, equity, & inclusion. Sgt William H. Carney, a former slave, is the first black man to get the Medal of Honor.
Of the 3,498 service members who have received the Medal of Honor throughout U.S. history, only 88 have been black. The first, pictured here in a black and white photo is Sgt William Carney shown wearing a 3 piece suit and his medal of honor pinned to his left chest pocket area. 
On July 18, 1863, the soldiers of Carney's regiment led the charge on Fort Wagner. During the battle, the unit's color guard was shot. Carney, who was just a few feet away, saw the dying man stumble, and he scrambled to catch the falling flag.

Despite suffering several serious gunshot wounds himself, Carney kept the symbol of the Union held high as he crawled up the hill to the walls of Fort Wagner, urging his fellow troops to follow him. He planted the flag in the sand at the base of the fort and held it upright until his near-lifeless body was rescued.

Even then, though, he didn't give it up. Many witnesses said Carney refused to give the flag to his rescuers, holding onto it tighter until, with assistance, he made it to the Union's temporary barracks. 

Promoted for His Actions
Carney lost a lot of blood and nearly lost his life, but not once did he allow the flag to touch the ground. His heroics inspired other soldiers that day and were crucial to the North securing victory at Fort Wagner. Carney was promoted to the rank of sergeant for his actions.

For his bravery, Carney was awarded the Medal of Honor on May 23, 1900.

Brilliant cartoonist Ann Telnaes is quitting the Washington Post because the paper killed her cartoon about billionaires in tech and media kowtowing to Trump. Sadly, the Jeff Bezos-owned Post proved her point. Support the media truth-tellers. Reject the media cowards.
