In Las Vegas he forced the Sands to serve Nat King Cole in the dining room and, with Sammy Davis Jr., ended Jim Crow policies in Nevada hotels and casinos by 1961. 9! He headlined Carnegie Hall for Martin Luther King Jr. in 1961, led Rat Pack boycotts, donated heavily to SCLC and voter registration, and was praised by Vice President Humphrey after the Watts riots for teaching tolerance."] Orson Welles witnessed Sinatra physically threaten a restaurant owner who refused service to a Black musician.

MLB made a rare choice to clear a player in its domestic violence probe, defending the decision by touting its “comprehensive" investigation.

But we spoke to three (3) alleged witnesses—two ex-girlfriends—the league allegedly knew about but didn't interview.

Our full statement on Emil Bove's confirmation:
Statement on Emil Bove's Confirmation to Third Circuit Stacey Young, executive director and founder of Justice Connection, issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate voted 50-49 to confirm Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. "Emil Bove has been the enforcer of many of the attacks on DOJ and its employees. By confirming his nomination the Senate condoned the devastation he unleashed on the department. Multiple whistleblowers stepped forward to bear witness to his destruction of constitutional principles and institutional guardrails. Some senators unfairly criticized and discounted their claims, but history will honor their courage. The thousands of DOJ alumni we represent stand ready to support anyone who is brave enough to expose the lawlessness coming from this department's leadership."

i’m truly at a loss for words 😔 those babies…
Heartbreaking Sunday morning in Shreveport, Louisiana Youngest victim was just 18 months old A domestic dispute on W. 79th Street turned into a mass shooting this morning, leaving 10 people shot and 8 children dead. The shooter has been identified as Shamar Elkins. The victims include 8 juvenile children and two women. Elkins killed his OWN children and his ex's sister's children, then shot both his ex-girlfriend and her sister in the head. Those two women are currently the only survivors. Witnesses at the scene say Elkins put a baby on the roof of the house and chased a 9-year-old child down the street, shooting him in the head while he tried to flee. FOLLOW Jade Charde' for more. After the shooting, Elkins carjacked a vehicle and led police on a high-speed chase into Bossier City where officers caught him on Brompton Lane and ended his life, brining the total body count to 11. Praying those two ladies pull through, sending my condolences to any and everybody affected by this devastating loss.

As wildfires rage and “razor blade throat” Covid spreads, it’s important to wear a well fitted respirator.

Even if you’re over covid. Even if you trust your immune system.

The pandemic is ongoing. The fires are toxic.
