In a fiery podcast episode, Candace Owens reiterated her controversial conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Charlie Kirk despite a lengthy conversation with his widow, Erika Kirk. Owens remains unswayed, expressing suspicions about connections to Turning Point USA and even hinting at involvement from Israel and other nations.

As tensions mount, Owens’ audience has shown disappointment over the lack of confrontation they anticipated, reflecting the increasingly polarized discourse in the aftermath of Kirk's tragic death.

The fascinating but tragic tale of Private Fitz Lee, a blind Black soldier, shines a light on history's complexities and injustices. After bravely serving in the late 1800s and rescuing fellow soldiers during the Cuban conflict, Lee received a Medal of Honor but faced a grim fate: he died homeless and forgotten just weeks after his discharge.
For over a century, his story was largely overlooked until the Pentagon unearthed him for an unusual purpose amidst ongoing changes to military names. Originally linked to Confederate general Robert E.
Lee, an Army base in Virginia was renamed Fort Gregg-Adams. Under the Trump administration’s controversial reversal, it was renamed Fort Lee, ostensibly in honor of Private Fitz Lee.
This twist raises questions about memorializing a soldier who represents resilience amid adversity while also highlighting a troubling legacy and the struggle for recognition within the military.

In a spirited session, 31 Democrats joined forces to champion the override amidst vibrant debates on historical accountability. Senator C.

He highlights that the revolution is deeply tied to anti-imperialist efforts and the empowerment of Afro-descendants, who have historically faced exploitation.
Since Hugo Chávez's leadership, significant strides have been made in recognizing Afro-Venezuelans and improving their conditions, such as establishing cultural awareness and debt repayment initiatives, particularly towards Haiti. Sobukwe emphasizes that Venezuela has supported not only its own African-descended population but also extended solidarity to countries like Cuba, which has historically aided Africa.
The article calls for solidarity against U.S.
imperialism, urging Black communities to refuse complicity in the violence of hybrid warfare. In recognizing shared struggles against oppression, Sobukwe inspires a collective movement toward liberation across the Global South.

In the gripping analysis by Dahlia Lithwick, she explores why Democrats hesitate to directly address the source of Donald Trump's political might: the pervasive and often uncomfortable reality of race in America. Lithwick's conversation with civil rights attorney Sherrilyn Ifill reveals a disturbing trend of normalization and complacency in American society, particularly concerning important issues around race and institutional power.
She emphasizes that while many yearn to return to a simpler past, such as the Obama era, this longing blinds us to urgent contemporary realities, including the Supreme Court's shifting role in democracy. The article underscores the necessity of acknowledging racism's insidious influence, especially as it acts as a central element fueling Trump's machinations.
Lithwick encourages readers to recognize the urgent need for engagement and action, warning that underestimating these challenges could lead to disastrous consequences for democracy.
