On this day in 1920, members of the Black community in Roxboro, North Carolina, were terrorized through an ongoing letter campaign trying to force Black people to leave town. A white mob had lynched a Black man months earlier.

Senator Murray is right. If the next Senators fail to take action on Social Security before 2032, then there will be an automatic benefit cut. You need to vote for candidates you trust to protect and expand your earned benefits.

Ken Paxton was caught on tape saying we need "reasonable cuts" to Social Security and Medicare and "we have to suck it up." No Ken, we do not. Americans spent a lifetime earning those benefits. TX needs a senator who will protect them, not cut them. Read TARA President Lantz's statement:

Let’s talk about something more people should be asking: Why is ICE collecting voter records? Newly released documents show ICE obtained tens of millions of voter records and investigated hundreds of organizations involved in voter registration.

ICE probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.

The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.
