Monte Wolverton - Attribution: West Central Tribune I will try to post Part 2 of this diary later tonight between 8:---10:00 pm ET. When I do, I’ll post the link right here. In addition to his crumbling presidential campaign — one that Ron DeSantis has yet to launch — this diary has plenty of editorial cartoons about Donald Trump’s delusional thinking and the recent firing of Tucker Carlson. One report suggested just yesterday that both Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro may well be the next ones to be fired from Fox News. Remember to take the diary poll about civil rights leaders. More editorial cartoons to be posted in the comments section of this diary.

The Probable GOP 2024 Nominee

The heir apparent of the Republican Party — one who is the darling of Never Trumpers — seems to be imploding before he has even officially announced his candidacy. Wherever he goes, it’s becoming apparent that his carefully-managed political act does not play well outside of the state of Florida.

His recent overseas trip only served to harden such opinions.

Diary Poll

Most of us know about the lives of modern-day civil rights leaders like Jesse Jackson, John Lewis, Andrew Young, and so many others who have made important contributions to the ongoing struggle to achieve fairness and equality in American life.

What I’m interested in finding out in the diary poll is the one leader you wished you knew a lot more about. This is hardly a complete list.

RIP, Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte—Singer, Actor, and Activist—Has Died at 96 The honorary Oscar winner retired from performing as he entered his ninth decade, but never halted his work for civil rights — Vanity Fair. The most powerful weapon that we have in the universe is the weapon of art,” Harry Belafonte told a social-activist teen theater troupe in Harlem in 2014.

He retired from performing as he entered his ninth decade but never halted his activism until his death on April 24... His success in Hollywood during those years of McCarthyism was even more impressive considering that he’d briefly been blacklisted, having been a protégé of and opening act for singer and openly communist activist Paul Robeson and having often appeared at rallies for progressive causes. Belafonte denied having been a member of the Communist Party, and stalwart anti-communist Ed Sullivan vouched for him by booking Belafonte to sing several times on his popular TV show. Still, his socialist worldview was always apparent and something for which he never apologized. “Harry Belafonte was radical long before it was chic,” Henry Louis Gates Jr. once said, “and remained so long after it wasn’t
