Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. Tonight is a great testimony to the work of Myrlie and Medgar, Fannie Lou, Schwerner, Goodman and Cheney and the parents of Nolan Wells.

NBA great Charles Barkley, a longtime Republican, who apparently strongly disavows 45/47’s openly racist leanings, said the quiet part out loud. Thank you, Sir Charles.

Her life was such an enduring example of the black experience in America. Proud, resilient survivor, yet not broadly honored and cherished by most of white America for her contribution, and never compensated for the terror and sacrifice she her community endured.

Viola Ford Fletcher, a Black woman from Tulsa, Oklahoma, the oldest living survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, has died at 111. She spent her final years fighting for justice and telling her story.

@FlagBlack007 Don’t fever tell me there’s not a God with a marvelous sense of humor and insistence on justice.

Stephen Miller is a hypocrite and a fraud. His maternal ancestors are Jewish and immigrated to America in the early 1900s. He dismisses the fact that Jews endured for generations seeking their own homeland in Israel in 1942. Yet, he prosecutes and deports immigrants, denying their humanity.

[💕 Brittany Belle 💕 @BrittanyinTexas]

💥 A perfect example of why Stephen Miller is so thoroughly unlikable. Jim Acosta asks a legitimate question about America’s immigration values. Miller responds with arrogance, hostility and pure contempt. 🙄

As we celebrate a sea change in America, as well as my fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, Inc.'s Achievement Week, I can't help but reflect on my 25 years at the U.S. Dept. of HHS, where we implemented the Affordable Care Act in the eight SE states, working closely with Stacey Abrams in G8A, MHAP in MS, the D9, the Children's Defense Fund, the region's FQHC's, the NAACP, National Baptist Convention, and dozens of mayors, congressionals, county commissioners and other CBOs to enroll people in 8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYL4ZAobJH0&list=PLcz5crOEnMQ_os3x_kIPH_Jmak-Z7Ezpo

This, America, is your president. What do you have to say to this—Evangelicals and other Christians who support him, yet believe in forgiveness, think now? https://t.co/4nwoAJm15M

Thank you for constantly, diligently doing this critical work, Don. You’re truly educating the masses, including me. Damn shame they missed the boat with Angie. Amazing opportunity lost. Let’s see if they learned their lesson by 2028. If not, they’ll pay a hefty, much deserved price.

[Deric Gilliard @2Redeem]

Thank you for sharing. Our society desperately need more acts of kindness and humanity like this. It costs so little, but is worth so much.

People without empathy vs people who make us continue to believe in humanity.

Measles, which had been virtually eliminated in the U.S., will be another issue the incoming congress will have to tackle in the face of Trump’s historically anti-vaccination leadership team as the disease soars and the unvaccinated die. https://t.co/4nwoAJmyVk

Loving it! What can be more appropriate than the state that was the site of the murder of teenager Emmitt Till, Nolan Wells and SNCC field staff Schwerner, Goodman and (Mississippian) Cheney to in 2026 elect its first black governor since Reconstruction ? In so doing, you honor Ralph, Rosa, C.T. Vivian, Carol Silver, Dr. Layfayette, Fred Shuttlesworth, Andy, the Lowery’s and Fannie Lou. https://t.co/CX1ACMmTnS

Susie Wiles, who resigned as 45/47’s chief-of-staff, knew who Trump was before she jumped ship. Replacement Stephen Miller, though Jewish, is an ardent, hard core white supremacist who doubles down on the administration’s goal of deporting 50k immigrants a month. We must resist MAGA! https://t.co/CX1ACMmTnS

@CLG98264897 So beautiful. And you know they had to be AT LEAST 1/3 better than the other candidates, hand down.

[Deric Gilliard @2Redeem]

Appreciated the turnout today and the repudiation of tyranny and the commitment to a democratic republic that honors all law abiding people who respect one another and welcomes the stranger. Let’s ’Redeem the Soul of America!’ https://t.co/4nwoAJmyVk

[Deric Gilliard @2Redeem]

If you haven’t voted, this is yet another reason you MUST exercise your sacred right and responsibility. If we don’t stand up TODAY, these assaults and oppressive acts will only intensify! The American Gestapo must go. You could be next. If not for yourself, do it for Rosa, Dr. Lafayette and Charles Person, the youngest original Freedom Rider.

[Deric Gilliard @2Redeem]

Dear Michiganders, I would never try and tell you how to vote. Yet, I implore that you vote your conscience. Is Haley righteous in her indignation at El Sayed, or instead, a spoiled loser? I report. You decide.

Two 109-year-old best friends share secrets to happiness: Besides exercise, “Just be kind to one another.”

@GWANJEZ Absolutely beautiful!
