Amazing school cafeteria manager Philando Castile of Minnesota did much to see that students in need were fed and also helped students in other ways. He was killed by police in 2016 during a traffic stop and the cop was acquitted. In Philandro's honor, his mom got the movement going for the free meals at schools that Governor Tim Walz signed into law in 2023.

General CQ Brown speaking in June 2020 after George Floyd was brutally murdered by the police.  Gen. Brown had just been nominated to be chief of the Air Force when he made this statement and was approved a few days after.

General Charles Quinton Brown Jr.  was the chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force from 2020 to 2023.
He served as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2023 to 2025.

On 21 February 2025, President Trump dismissed Gen. Brown from the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after newly appointed U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth accused Brown of promoting diversity and asked on FOX News whether Brown had gotten the job solely because of his race.

    • Just because Taggert is so anti Sonny I don't see that working for Lois. I agree with all this.   I still thought Harrington was decent.  He was just completely wrong for the role.  Weirdly being hung up on Karen and Stone was a strange choice too.  They've been dead for years and years and he wasn't married to Karen when she died in a car accident and didn't even show up to Stone's funeral.  
    • Wagger was so bizarre. I still don't care about that dude and I knew what would happen to him from the beginning. But it is crazy they pretend like it didn't matter Sonny stone cold killed a fed. I'm sure they will pick it up in a year or two to try to save face and make it important for some other plot point, like how they forgot all about Austin, Nikolas shooting Hayden and letting Shawn take the fall, etc. He was mediocre and folks acted like he was Douglass Watson because of that one Mulcahey speech! The answer here is the same one to anyone who is familiar with Donna from BITD: She implicitly believes she unofficially works here and has a position of authority in fandom. She does not.
    • I would much rather see Lois with someone young and exciting over being with Taggert.  Rick Webber Jr or have a scandalous affair with Dillon Quartermaine.  Tracy would lose her mind.
    • Well, of course, it's unlikely. But in the what-if fantasy world, I wonder if the actors/characters would work well together.
    • I was thinking at some point down the line the show might bring Stone Jr. (2.0?) to PC and avenge his father's unsolved murder or something. I don't know who that Jagger was either.  Strange casting.  The actor was all wrong for the part even if I thought Adam Harrington could act.
    • And that was absolutely delicious. And well-plotted. 
    • How funny to see the name Taggert as I drop in because I was just thinking that isn't this month or next two years since his last appearance? Well, was his last appearance when he broke down in the elevator over Trina's parentage? 
    • This. That. Love the phrasing. That said, IMO, Jagger ain't dead. Much respect to the actor portraying him, but blonde John was not Jagger. I don't know who that impostor was.
    • LMAO. I'm OK with Jagger being gone and never mentioned again. Adam J. Harrington wasted.
    • I believe they would have to recast if so.  Trina completely forgot about her father that raised her so it seems unlikely.
