Today my son had a meeting with our Mayor & Chief of Police to discuss training our first responders to recognize autism. We have been working on this for over a year. I am so proud of him! For so many years I had to be his voice. It's amazing to see him advocate for others now.
“These pay increases and other benefits often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump. One aide who was given a plum position on the board of Trump’s social media company, for example, got the seat after he was subpoenaed but before he testified.”
National media wasn’t even on this story. But I just looked where they told me to look.
The only reason I thought about this was that when I woke up this morning, one of them had texted me this:
“Look what we did…
No one else.
Just us.”

My point is that this is wh Black journalists are important.. I don’t know if I could have roamed & made ppl feel comfortable enough to talk to me if I was white.

22 dead so far in Lewiston, Maine.

“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.”
