We're immensely saddened by the passing of our friend, Lifetime Core Writer Marion McClinton. Generations and generations from now, there will be people making theater who are doing so because of him. https://t.co/JnFWS3BLu6
My dad, who is a janitor, told me the holiday season is very hard on him because people have office parties & don’t clean up after themselves, which doubles his work. So, PSA: Don’t be an asshole. If you have an office party, tidy up after. Shit doesn’t magically clean itself.
Tyler Perry will fly Tynesha Evans’ body back to her home state of Wisconsin, where family and friends will hold her funeral. The filmmaker will also cover daughter Sharadiant’s college tuition, assuring she will be able to make her mother proud! https://t.co/FcCwWOxqMe
Just a reminder that rich people are able to use their money and power to open elite doors for their mediocre children that, in turn, make it far more likely that they will succeed in life. Poor people and POC are expected to be exceptional. This is not a meritocracy.
Happy Birthday to @larsleafblad!! Hands down our regions most giving, kind, and gracious connector! This next lap around the sun is going to be really great, I just know it :)
Today is National Black HIV & AIDS Awareness Day and I just wanna say to all my fellow poz folks UR DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE.
Get tested. Ask your doctor every question you have cause they are getting paid. If your meds cost a grip, ask about coupons (I had to). And keep on, boo.
As Minnesota becomes more diverse, @SahanJournal will bring the stories of traditionally underrepresented groups to the mainstream, with the skill and deftness that they deserve.
On Wednesday, a 21 y/o white man made 5 women lay down on the floor of a bank and shot them execution style.
Today, a 21 y/o white man shot and killed 5 people in what one officer called, “the worst domestic violence incident [he’d] seen.”
But do go on about a razor commercial.
No, @VP Pence and @realDonaldTrump, #MLK would have never supported your wall.
If he were alive today, MLK would probably be leading a #TSAStrike to end your shutdown
Make no mistake, electing a historic Congress full of firsts would not have been possible without the work of Dr. King.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. We will not rest until his revolutionary vision of racial, economic & social justice is a reality for all. ✊🏽

'...to make things better, & more human, right now. In the case of U.S. prisons, arts & writing programs can help reclaim some of the imaginative interior space prisoners inevitably give up when they enter the Big House.' -@RobKendt @AmericanTheatre 🎭

The House just passed our 11th bill to #OpenTheGovernment since we took office on Jan 3rd, but @SenMajLdr McConnell has refused allow a vote on a single one of them.
Free the vote Mitch!
At this moment, somewhere in the world, young girls and women who look like us are learning to believe that they too can change the world and that no dream is too big.
Representation matters.
