Legendary civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson died Tuesday morning, three months after he was hospitalized with a rare brain disease. He was 84.
Jackson, a former presidential candidate and prot g of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., died peacefully at home in Chicago, surrounded by family, his loved ones said in a statement.
''His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity,'' his family said, calling the father of six a ''tireless change agent'' who left ''an indelible mark on history.''

Once he sold out and became a Race Pimp and started abusing his Religious Leadership position it was clear he was in it for the fame and $$$$.
If a person takes a few minutes and looks at his documented quotes and his private life. The Rev, Jesse was not a supporter of Jewish people and more into politics, than GOD.
example given: When it came to the division of power, we did not get from the Jews the slice of cake we deserved... the Jews do not share with us control of wealth, broadcasting stations and other centers of power.
Jesse Jackson
On the other hand he fathered a child out of wedlock (he opposed abortion until the 1990s, then became pro choice). Also he extorted tons of money from businesses in Chicago and elsewhere.

I’m sure there are those who will mourn him. May that fact comfort them.
[Breitbart] Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Sunday that he would be “introducing federal legislation to make the Pride Flag a congressionally authorized symbol.”
In a post on X, Schumer criticized President Donald Trump for attacking “not just the LGBTQ community,” but everyone who cares “about pride and equality” in New York City (NYC). Schumer added that he was “proud to stand with” people such as New York State Rep. Tony Simone (D) and New York State Sen. Erik Bottcher (D) to make his announcement.
“The Stonewall Inn is sacred ground,” Schumer wrote. “Last week, Donald Trump attacked not just the LGBTQ community, but all of us who care about pride and equality in NYC when he ordered the removal of the pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument.”
The move to make the pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol “would enshrine the flag with similar protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, POW/MIA flags and others recognized by Congress,” Fox News reported.
The Trump administration previously “removed a Pride flag from a national monument outside the Stonewall Inn earlier this month,” although the flag was later “reinstalled atop the pole outside the Stonewall Inn,” according to the outlet.
The removal of the flag came after the Department of the Interior issued a memo “ordering ‘non-agency’ flags at national parks be removed,” according to the outlet.
According to the National Park Service website, “Stonewall was a milestone for gay and lesbian civil rights that provided momentum for a movement.”
“In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn provoked a spontaneous act of resistance that earned a place alongside landmarks in American self-determination such as Seneca Falls Convention for women’s rights (1848) and the Selma to Montgomery March for African American voting rights (1965),” the website explains.

But it's not about the Pride Flag. It's just another way that he can get credit for bashing Trump. If any of those Gheys think he gives a rat's ass about them, they are truly delusional.

LOL, if that happens it'll be protected by the same FA protections burning the American flag is!
Right now burning the gay flag is a hate crime.
Remember that American who got charged with a felony for doing a burnout on the crosswalk they painted as one?

Introducing a bill is easy. That one won’t get through the Republican-controlled Senate, let alone through the House, and if it did, President Trump would veto it.
[FoxNews] Pam Altendorf claims she identified potential duplicate records and voters over 100 years old in Hennepin County data
A Minnesota state representative is questioning the integrity of voter roll data in the state’s most populous county, setting off a dispute over access to election records.
"Why is there such an effort to block us or any election integrity group to see this information?" state Rep. Pam Altendorf said Saturday.
"If they're clean, that's great. And if not, if [Minnesota Secretary of State] Steve Simon is unable or unwilling to clean our voter rolls, then we absolutely have to get federal help because this is disenfranchising every legal voter in Minnesota."
Altendorf said the dispute stems from her attempt to obtain active voter roll data from multiple Minnesota counties. She submitted data requests to four counties after reviewing state statutes and consulting with election integrity groups, arguing that as vice chair of the Minnesota House Elections Committee, she has the authority to access the information.
According to Altendorf, Minnesota's secretary of state directed counties not to provide her with the information. Three counties declined to comply with her request, while Hennepin County — the state’s largest county by population — provided the data.
After reviewing the Hennepin County records, Altendorf said she identified nearly 3,000 active voter entries missing key identifying information, such as birthdates, names and addresses, as well as what she described as potential duplicate records.
Though she did not provide specific examples, she also said she found voters listed as over 100 years old.
However, according to Alpha News, 1900 was used as a placeholder birth year for voters who registered before 1983 since they were not required to provide their date of birth.
A spokesperson for Hennepin County told the outlet that they administer elections in accordance with state law and guidance from the secretary of state's office.
The spokesperson also said that "address verification is a routine reason a voter record may be flagged as challenged, ‘including when a registration confirmation postcard is returned as undeliverable.’"
Altendorf began pursuing the data after learning that the Department of Justice had sought voter roll information from states across the country as part of broader election integrity efforts, which she said Minnesota declined to provide due to privacy concerns.
She then reviewed state statutes and worked with election integrity groups, including Minnesota Voters Alliance, before determining she had the authority to request the data herself.
Altendorf said Simon is "actively working to deny" her, as a sitting member of the House Elections Committee, the ability to access voter roll information to determine whether the records are accurate.
The Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Which means that some of them might have been born even before 1900.
