Coco Gauff after beating Taylor Townsend at Roland Garros
Alex Corretja: “Althea Gibson won 70 years ago. What does it mean to all of you?”
Coco: “I think Taylor and I playing on Philippe Chatrier is a direct product of Althea Gibson. It’s an honor to be able to play today. Round of applause for her. But yeah, it just shows the importance of breaking barriers in all aspects of the world, but especially in sport. I’m very grateful for people like her and Serena and Venus… Zina Garrison… even more for paving the way for us to be out here today.” ❤️
Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it.
And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him.
Do with that story what you will.
🚨 MAMDANI: “The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.”
this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh
"Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
