It wasn’t until 1962 that Jackie Robinson became the first Black player inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame. Now, that same Hall of Fame has opened an entire exhibition dedicated to celebrating the rich, challenging history of Black baseball players. “The Souls of the Game: Voices of Black Baseball” traces 150 years of history — beginning in the late 1800s and continuing all the way up to the achievements and challenges of Black baseball players today.

At half of the surveyed cos., it'd take a median worker nearly 200 yrs to earn what their CEO makes in a single year.
This is not the America where we have fought for and bragged about #equality. This is a very #rightwing approach that's telling a significant portion of our country that they don’t have rights.

This statement by #MAGAMike is disqualifying for the 2nd in line for the presidency. The rule of law is sacrosanct in America. House Dems shouldn’t save his speakership again. Speaker Johnson is lawless, & not worthy of serving in Congress. Ditto for the other traitors in the Senate & the House.

In 2020, Swedish neuroscientists put 30 trans and 30 cis research subjects into a brain scanner and showed them pictures of their bodies. Then they showed them images where their body had been morphed to look more masculine or more feminine. The results support the natural order of gender identity.
