This says everything we need to know about race in America.

Seldom-quoted words from my father. Some of you who tell me that my father would be “turning over in his grave” because of how I convey his teachings need to read more #MLK. This is from ‘Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?’.

Uh oh. Someone didn’t like these #ExposeBarstoolRacists tweets.

Trump says statues aren’t going to be torn down while he’s here. But let’s talk about what he has tried to tear down since he’s been in power—the truth, healthcare, immigrant families, civil rights protections & democracy itself.

The president "didn't hear" the man shout "White Power." The president "didn't see" the brief about Russia. The president "didn't know" about Juneteenth.

Not knowing isn't an excuse, it's an indictment.

Sen. Tim Scott’s bill was weak & he knows it. He was chosen to put a Black face on a weak bill so that McConnell could say he had done something for racial justice. The people aren’t fooled.

They tell us, it’s a few bad apples. What would 3 rotten apples in one bag do to any dish made with those apples? 🤔🤔#ItsSystemic https://t.co/Vv7yUdTUt8

[Rev. & Prof. Cornell William Brooks @CornellWBrooks]

Before police recognize #BlackLivesMatter  , they have to recognize that Blacks aren’t slaves.

Black people are expected to obey, not resist, & say “sir”—no matter what.

Blacks live under a slave code of conduct.

Today a Glynn County grand jury formally indicted Travis McMichael, Gregory McMichael & William Bryan for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery. The family of #AhmaudArbery is determined to see these men prosecuted, convicted & appropriately sentenced for their actions.

He did everything asked of him, complied, provided I.D and yet here we are.😔😔😔

I don’t worry about our sport. I have confidence NASCAR’s leadership will find who did this and continue pushing us in the right direction. I do worry about Bubba. I hope Bubba is feeling loved and supported. Keep sending him that love and support. He needs it now more than ever.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

Some are calling for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. How about we go further & pass healthcare & living wages for all, a fully restored Voting Rights Act & reparations, etc. Please don’t just ask for a holiday. Let’s make it a holy day of repentance & reconstruction.

Check out this amazing Juneteenth collection from today's NYT. https://t.co/AHD2c6ftzW

Why Juneteenth Matters https://t.co/ibxPZoT1zz

[The Root @TheRoot]

Before his rally, Trump said no one has ever heard of Juneteenth: https://t.co/4bcfON1iuT

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

The thing to remember about the police shooting Brooks is they had already searched him, so they knew he was unarmed. Pointing a taser as he ran away doesn’t justify deadly force. A taser is a non-lethal weapon so the defense can’t say he feared for his life. #BlackLivesMatter

If voting didn’t matter, voter suppression wouldn’t persist.

Can we all just admit this: The transformational changes that covid, the economic crisis, police brutality and racial turbulence will force are precisely some of the things Bernie Sanders was talking about but may have sounded too extreme to some just months ago.
