After I graduated, Bart Simpson became president of the United States, with Homer Simpson as his vice president. Later, the government secretly mailed a check to Marge and Lisa Simpson a check worth 230 trillion dollars, asking them to buy the USA to swap places with them, and a second check for Homer and Bart to buy Smash Bros Ultimate with.

i just found out about Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia and i am SOLD
they are running for president and vp in the 2024 election for the Party for Socialism and Liberation
their platform is all about giving back to the people and uplifting the working class while dismantling the capitalist systems that are actively killing people both inside and outside of the us
both claudia and karina have boots on the ground for palestine right now and have been active in organizing and pushing for big change since they were teenagers
do your own research, of course, but finding out about the psl and about claudia and karina has given me so much hope for the future and for this election
they are the kind of people the world needs right now

Levi Jackson (August 22, 1926 – December 7, 2000) was the first African-American football captain at Yale University and the first African-American executive at Ford Motor Company. He was a member of the Yale Class of 1950, and captained the 1949 football team, the election taken soon after the 1948 season.
Jackson's election to the captaincy was unprecedented, given he was the first African-American to play football for Yale, but almost unremarkable in the Yale community. "The voting took only ten minutes. There was no one else. It had to be Levi," a Yale player recounted.
Jackson was elected the first black captain of any Yale sports team by his teammates in November 1948 in a landslide 49–1 election. The only vote against Jackson was his own. Jackson had lettered also for the varsity basketball team.
Jackson's squads were 3–1 versus Harvard in “The Game.” During his Yale career, Jackson broke or tied 13 Yale records.
After graduating from Yale, Jackson went to work for the Ford Motor Co. in 1950. By 1962 he was an executive, the first African-American to reach that level at Ford; he was a Vice President when he retired in 1983.
Jackson was also instrumental in creating Ford’s Minority Dealership Training Program.
Jackson was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.
