Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.
Welcome back America! Congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for their election! While we are about to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this victory symbolizes our need to act together more than ever, in view of climate emergency. 🇺🇸

“What’s the difference between punishing somebody for being a stereotype and rewarding someone if they’re not?” Well, damn! Luce on Hulu just summed up my life in a line.
Please be safe. Imperial County is in an unfortunately unique situation where the inequities of the community have caused our people to suffer at larger rates. I fear for my family and friends and pray for their safety everyday. https://t.co/lLtwI1Rq7Z
Could Jonathan Geoff as King George narrate the entire history of the United States? I can hear him already... “Oceans rise,empires fall! After Obama, well, they’ll all look small...” “Donald Trump?! Good luck!” #Hamilton
Especially at the elementary level when students might not know the difference. Once students are aware of the distinction, the transition to academic writing improves.

Latino population is being hit at double the rate of others in the US because a large percentage of us our essential workers in this country. Systemic oppression affects many communities and this pandemic is revealing it all.
As if the surge of COVID-19 cases in the Imperial County wasn’t enough, the town of Niland was just devastated by this fire. Prayers go out to my friends and their families out there.
Imperial County Niland Fire Update: Currently we have estimated about 40 homes lost. Please keep out of the town. Sheriff's is conducting a home to home check. #NilandFire
I can honestly say I had no idea what Juneteenth was nor the significance behind the date. But the more I learn about the history, especially Texas history, the more I see the need for more rapid progress and change.
Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do.

Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth. May we never forget our ancestors’ journey to freedom, and may we never cease fighting for liberty and justice for all. #WeAreMBK
