Naps are the bomb.

The average price of gas today is $4.593/gallon
The size of the average gas tank is 16.5 gallons.

Which means a minimum wage employee has to work more than a day just to fill their gas tank.

There it is: a gallon of gas costs more than the federal minimum wage

I’ve been lied about, cheated on, laughed at and betrayed by people I thought I could trust. Still, I would NEVER let them know how much they hurt me.

But when the cashier at the Dollar Tree said: “You know this costs $3, right?”…

I know she could see the pain in my eyes.

It’s not a coincidence that the people who are saying Black people have full freedom in our country are the same ones trying to prevent teaching the truth about white supremacy in our classrooms.

Another reason the lack of diversity in media is a big problem. Not saying this drives her decision, but minority athletes are predominately covered by white journalists. They drive their narratives. There are some great journalists, but there’s also huge cultural disconnects.

Being hateful will NEVER stop hate. Don't soil your soul and dim your light. Let love fuel your work for justice. Love isn't passive. It is a courageous change agent and a galvanizing energy for true peace.

Liars! Is it amnesia, sniffing glue or too many free cocktails in first class to Cancun?!

We remember the past few years: Cruz, Mitch & crew: 1) stole a Sup. Court seat (Garland), 2) got rid of Sup Ct filibusters (Gorsuch) & in Oct. rewrote the rules to steal another (Barrett).

Democracy cannot be fully realized while 702,000 Americans are denied representation. I am proud to support #DCStatehood and commend the House for passing #HR51 today. Now the Senate must move to finally grant full representation in Congress to the people of our nation’s capital.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I don’t want my tax dollars used to fund death squads of poorly trained people who run around in communities emptying their guns into children. Call me a dreamer.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

For those scoring at home, the Republican agenda is: attacking trans children, dismantling voting rights and punishing protestors.

If you consider yourself a Republican, how are any of these things actually improving the quality of your life?

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

If you find yourself justifying killing children, you are an asshole. Probably worse than that. But let’s start there.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

If only Texas legislators cared as much about the grid failure that killed Texans and left millions without power as they do about performative patriotism.

Thank you so much Amy Goodman and @nermeendn for having me on to discuss the ongoing violence in #Tigray

Stop calling Asian people "invisible."

Invisible to whom?

Certainly not to Asians and Pacific Islanders, many of who have been here before there was a United States of America: https://t.co/qciMIZwvBw
