Y'all are half of the reason we're in this situation; or did your favorite president GWB not force USPS to fund pensions 70 years in advance specifically to bankrupt the service and privatize it?

Had to get back on twitter to support my good friend one time. Absolutely sick that racists are still calling the police on POC, subjecting them to violence over benign matters and disagreements.

@LOOKCinemasLLC @LOOKDineIn So is it a normal practice for your managers to call the police on paying customers who were harassed by your employees? Asking for a friend.

Today marks nine years since my son, Jordan, was shot for playing his music. It was Black Friday in 2012.

Jordan, I didn’t get to hug or kiss you goodbye. You were only 17 with your whole life ahead of you. My heart is still broken.

The morning of 9/11, my political science professor made me leave class so the other students could "grieve and process safely".

I was 18 and living away from my parents for the first time. Yeah, I’ll never forget.

As a surgeon who does both elective and emergency surgery, what’s happening again and now in hospitals across America is an atrocity.

Electioneering within one hundred feet of polling place is always prohibited.
