Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿

A big victory for justice. Great decision by the voters of Shelby County, TN

“Why are you here?!"

A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting.

“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

Beautiful, powerful speech by Zander Moricz

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

The most meaningful tribute we can make to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is to secure voting rights for every American. Now is not just a time for reflection, but also for action. The House passed the Freedom to Vote Act last week; the Senate must show the same courage. #MLKDay

It's “essential workers” when they need you, but “low skilled workers” when you need them.

A powerful question from Jane Elliott.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her 28th birthday today, yet not one officer was held accountable for murdering her.

That lack of accountability doesn’t change the fact that her life mattered. Her joy mattered. Her dreams mattered. And she should be here celebrating today.

Just FYI this is why Black people don’t have generational wealth. Cause this country burned down every opportunity to build it.

[Grizzlies PR @GrizzliesPR]

Tonight marked the second time in franchise history the @memgrizz defeated a No. 1 seed as the No. 8 seed in Game 1 of a playoff series.

The first time happened in 2011 against San Antonio.

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

Yeah

[Molly @MollyKWeisman]

The state where MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAS ASSASSINATED is trying to ban education on critical race theory. Our students deserve a nuanced understanding of American history, not a whitewashed one.🚨ACTION ALERT BELOW🚨

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I’m praying for George Floyd’s family as the world awaits a verdict.

His family would prefer to see and hug him.

That’s why justice is beyond verdicts.

Justice is a continuum that includes dismantling systems that destroy and dehumanize human beings, then feign innocence.

[Ben & Jerry's @benandjerrys]

The murder of #DaunteWright is rooted in white supremacy and results from the intentional criminalization of Black and Brown communities.

This system can’t be reformed.

It must be dismantled and a real system of public safety rebuilt from the ground up.

Take some time to get familiar with the Byhalia Pipeline and how it's impacting those in the Memphis area. https://t.co/tGQvoR7LbU
