“Thousands of people in Gary, Indiana, a city where nearly 80% of residents are Black, have been living without power for nearly two weeks. After storms and winds tore through Northwest Indiana on Aug. 11, more than 60% of NIPSCO customers lost power. While electricity has been restored to many communities, officials said Wednesday that about 22,000 customers in Gary were still in the dark. Schools are closed and grocery stores are basically empty. Social media food critic and creator Keith Lee is using his platform to bring attention to #garyindiana and said this week he hadn’t seen enough people outside the city talking about what residents are going through. He plans to visit this weekend to support storm recovery efforts.” The Root

To adjust is to be complicit. Let’s not adjust to mass shootings. Let’s not adjust to institutionalized racism. Let’s not adjust to voter suppression. Let’s not adjust to police brutality. Let’s not adjust to poverty and despair. Let’s not adjust to any forms of violence.

“I’m being arrested for filming.” “Georgia Fort, an Emmy-winning journalist, says federal agents arrived at her door with a warrant tied to video she recorded at a church protest weeks ago. In a live stream, she questioned how documenting a public demonstration as a member of the press could lead to her arrest — raising serious concerns about First Amendment rights and press protections. As more details come to light, the incident is prompting urgent questions about what it means to cover protests and whether journalists can safely do their jobs without fear of retaliation.

🗣️”May I remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence. Even the lack of willpower to help humanity is a sick and sinister form of violence.” #CorettaScottKing #Coretta99 #DearCoretta #MLK #TheKingCenter

Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and African American Librarian of Congress, was abruptly dismissed this week by President Trump. Her leadership modernized the institution and championed inclusive access to knowledge. Her removal raises urgent concerns about political interference in our cultural guardianships. This moment calls us to defend truth, access, and education as pillars of a just society. #DefendTruth #DrCarlaHayden #LibraryofCongress #LibrarianofCongress
