Brother Newsom could’ve taken a humanistic approach! He could’ve said, “I’m just like you. I was born of a woman. I’ll face loss, pain, and death just like anyone else.” But instead, when he thinks of Black people, he brings up low SAT scores. That mindset sits at the core of white supremacy—the belief that Black people are less beautiful, less moral, less intelligent! Don’t play with us like that @CAgovernor !!

Join civic leaders, elected officials, faith pillars, and the KBLA delegation as we pay tribute to Rev. Jesse Jackson.

➡️ Friday, February 27, 2026
➡️ 7:00pm
➡️ The Historic First AME Church, 2270 South Harvard Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90018

Doors open early.

[KBLA 1580 - on 🧵 @KBLA1580 @kbla1580]

When we remember leaders, what gets emphasized — and what gets overlooked?

@tavissmiley and @CornelWest react to how Jesse Jackson is being framed in recent coverage, questioning whether the language shifts focus from his movement-building legacy to a more political lens.

[Nii-Quartelai Quartey @drniiquartelai]

Alex Pretti’s death is not an isolated tragedy. It’s the cost of a system that failed to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act — and failed to end qualified immunity, allowing law enforcement to act as judge, jury, and executioner with limited accountability.

It didn’t have to be this way.
And it doesn’t have to continue.
