Happy 50th Heavenly Belated Birthday to the Unforgotten Latasha Harlins! Latasha Harlins, born on January 1, 1976, in East St. Louis, IL, was a 15-year-old Black girl whose tragic death in Los Angeles became a pivotal moment in racial justice discussions. A bright and caring high school student in South Central Los Angeles, she had a promising future ahead of her. On March 16, 1991, Latasha bought orange juice at Empire Liquor Market in South Central LA. Store owner Soon Ja Du falsely accused her of stealing, leading to a physical confrontation. As she turned to leave with money, Du shot her in the back of the head, killing her instantly. Security footage captured the entire incident. Soon Ja Du was convicted of voluntary manslaughter but received only probation, community service, and a $500 fine, no jail time. Coming just 2 weeks after the Rodney King verdict, the sentence intensified tensions in Los Angeles and helped spark the 1992 uprising. Latasha Harlins’ death exposed deep racial inequities and strained relations between Black American and Korean American communities. Latasha’s story remains a powerful symbol in discussions about criminal justice reform and continues to be remembered through documentaries, including the 2020 Oscar-nominated short film “A Love Song for Latasha,” which celebrates her life rather than focusing solely on her death.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​#LatashaHarlins

Ida B. Wells was a fearless investigative journalist who exposed the brutal truth about lynching through her newspaper, Free Speech. In 1892, a white mob destroyed her office and threatened her life. She fled Memphis but never stopped. Wells became a powerful voice against racial violence, proving journalism is a weapon for justice. Her courage helped lay the foundation for the civil rights movement. Her pen was POWER.

I’ll never understand how America went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.

From dignity, empathy, and competence
to grievance, cruelty, and chaos.

It wasn’t an accident.

It was backlash.

Backlash to having a smart, principled, wildly popular Black president who proved this country could be better.

And some people couldn’t stand it.

🚨BREAKING: CBS just pulled their anticipated story on Trump’s CECOT concentration camps.

The same company who suspiciously cancelled Steve Colbert when they needed Trump to approve the Paramount deal.

When the press bends to tyrants, countries die.

This is what government-controlled TV looks like.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who is disgusted by Bari Weiss killing a 60 Minutes exposé on trump's cruel deportation policy where deportees are tortured in CECOT. This is political censorship.

If you're not already, it's time to BOYCOTT CBS.

As a proud Angeleno, the fires that have devastated our county have been heart-breaking. I am so fortunate that while my own home in the Palisades was at risk and had some damage from the fires, I am safe. So many others cannot say the same, and my heart goes out to all of those who have been affected and are rebuilding their lives from ash.

I wrote this poem, “Smoldering Dawn”, to process my own fears and prayers for us as we come together as a community to heal from this trauma. While we mourn what we have lost, we also give thanks to the first responders, firefighters and civilians who have fought so tirelessly to combat these fires and ensure the safety of so many.

To honor them, I’m releasing this poem as a fundraiser for the California Fire Foundation, which is offering support and aid to firefighters families, as well as those who have been impacted by the fires. 💛 Give what you can, help who you can, stay safe, and this too we shall conquer.
