I had the honor of sitting down with Opal Lee — the Texas legend who walked from Fort Worth to DC to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.

At 99 years old, she told me: "I’m gonna keep on walking to show some youngsters how it’s done.”

Thank you, Opal. We're walking with you. 💙

We’re suspending the jobs report so you don’t see how bad the numbers are, auditing the Smithsonian to match Trump’s politics, fighting over gerrymandering the map, and deploying the military into cities. This isn’t governance anymore. It’s authoritarianism in plain sight.

Skins OG cast really was a talent incubator and if you read up on how they cast Skins, this makes a lot of sense.

Went to sleep thinking about Sinners, woke up thinking about Sinners

[Darth Bitterdawn 🇵🇸 @AegonDayne]

#Sinners was the first movie I’ve seen that included black ppl’s deep connection to music, Louisiana bayou superstition, struggles of white passing, discussions of Irish colonization, and showing the deep ties of delta East Asians and African Americans flawlessly all in one

“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?

Outside, inside, you know what side I’m on. When the Super Bowl is in your city, you go all gas no brakes✨

Live look at you right now, probably #atxwx #txwx

My reaction when someone says "you know I actually like this heat"

NO, you scallywags. 80-90° in February is stupid when we have 6 months of summer ahead of us #atxwx #txwx

[T @NTSanchez]

@averytomascowx Yup! Felt it here in Austin.

To every politician:

The next time you quote my father, let it be in support of voting rights, civil rights, or human rights.

Or in support of eradicating racism, poverty, and war.

Or in support of reparations, a livable wage, or ending police brutality.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his lifelong struggle against bigotry and injustice, and celebrate his commitment to democracy, workers’ rights and world peace.  

It is enormously important for the future of our country that we never forget Dr. King’s vision.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I invite you to honor my mother, #CorettaScottKing, with me.

Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday.

And @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist.

I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and Kingian nonviolence.

I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose.

Salute, Mama.

THIS is why they are banning tiktok. It's long, but she deserves to be heard.
