@stephenasmith What’s your advice for up and coming black journalists who want to work in sports? And what’s the best advice you got as a college student/early on in your career that you carry with you to this day?

[Raya Aughtry @RayaAughtry]

Because how do you tell someone who just watched their brother go down, to go back out onto the field which he collapsed on, and continue playing? To play as if nothing happened, as if your heart isn’t breaking and the last thing on your mind is playing a game? I don’t get it.

[Raya Aughtry @RayaAughtry]

I truly cannot comprehend how the game has not been officially cancelled yet. Whoever is making this decision should’ve ended the game a long time ago. Roger Goodell or whoever is making this decision is really letting down both teams. (1/2)

[Raya Aughtry @RayaAughtry]

I really hope Damar Hamlin is okay. I wouldn’t be surprised if the game was postponed.

Nothing else matters right now. I don’t believe in god, but I pray that he pulls through, and that his family is able to stay strong throughout this time.

Honest to god…buckeyes should’ve gone for the field goal. probably would’ve had a batter game

A Bottle of water can be .50 cents at a supermarket. $2 at the gym. $3 at the movies and $6 on a plane. Same water. Only thing that changed its value was the place..So the next time you feel your worth is nothing, maybe you’re at the wrong place💯

Stack money, act broke. Have more than you show & speak less than you know.

"Mitch McConnell is the common theme in doing nothing on gun violence," Fred Guttenberg, father of a Parkland shooting victim, says, following a statement from the senator on the Texas school shooting. "So his statement? He can shove it up his you-know-what. It means nothing."

Retweet if you want to see Beto O’Rourke crush Greg Abbott

Dear Republicans,

The word gay didn’t kill 18 CHILDREN and 3 ADULTS in Texas.
CRT didn’t do that.
It wasn’t a book you banned.
Or a mask.
It was a gun.
A man armed with a gun killed them.
A gun.
A. GUN.
A motherfucking gun.

[Raya Aughtry @RayaAughtry]

In the state that has some of the most lax gun laws, so many children are killed. And yet so many Texans claim to be pro life. @GregAbbott_TX claims to be pro life. But he’s not. He’s pro killing children and pro controlling the bodies of people who have vaginas.

If you really want to celebrate Juneteenth, buy black. Don’t buy from some big ass corporation that doesn’t actually give a shit about us. Buy from us, that’s how you celebrate us. #Juneteenth
