Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure
you are. Let me learn from you, love you,
savor you, bless you before you depart.
Let me not pass you by in quest of some
rare and perfect tomorrow.

Jussie Smollet was just indicted with 16 felony counts.

I’m not sure how much more needs to happen before we have a collective divestment from the so-called criminal justice system.

"In 1930 Lowndes County appropriated $53,525 for 975 white children and $48,786 for 10,039 black children." We desperately need reparations in this country. Reparations is not just repayment for centuries of slavery.

Pine Bluff, stand up. That the town still holds on is a testament to superheroes like the honorable state Sen. Stephanie Flowers.

If you kick someone for 350 years, and then stop kicking them (but really just kick them in a different way) for a *seventh* of the amount of time you spent kicking them, it would be completely disingenuous to look at the person and be like, "What's wrong with you? Just get up."

2019 marks the 400th year since enslaved Africans were brought here, before this was even a country. Black people have only had any semblance of full citizenship for about 50 yrs. I don't think the public always grasps the enormity of state-sanctioned oppression on that timeline.

Peace, love and joy to all and praise to Christ Jesus forever! Merry Christmas! 6/6

God does not exist in stone or wood or gold but within us, in our hearts, minds, words and actions. When we strive to love as Christ has loved us, we become one with the Holy Spirit. 5/

People who were barred from entering the temple because they were considered undesirable or unclean received healing and love directly from Jesus. 4/

Jesus' preaching is a message to the downtrodden and oppressed that God is ever-present with us and no power on earth can separate us from the love of God 3/

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Jesus' time on earth is a lesson in the nature of the Divine. It is God showing us who God is. It is a demonstration of how we should strive to love one another. It is a challenge to all oppressive powers past, present & future. 2/

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

In an act of extreme humility, God appeared to humanity in the form of a poor man from an insignificant town belonging to an oppressed people. Jesus challenged the authorities and empire with a radical message of love, peace and concern for those who are outcast & condemned 1/

@dreanyc123 @thatcaseyquin @thinkprogress Most women in US jails “are there, like Jazmine, on minor offenses, public order offenses, offenses that have to do with someone deciding a Black woman’s presence in a public space is to be criminalized & a lot of people are there for their inability to pay bonds....”
