(1/3) National Heroes Day is set aside as a public holiday each year to honour those great Jamaicans, who by their work and often ultimate sacrifice, revolted against slavery, secured our freedom, fought for equal rights and justice, guided our Independence, resisted oppression;

(1/3) On behalf of the Government and people of Jamaica, I extend heartfelt condolences to the family of former US Secretary of State, General Colin Powell, as well as the people of the United States.

General Powell passed away this morning.

[Andrew Holness @AndrewHolnessJM]

(2/3) He lived a distinguished life of service, and in 2018, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him.

We have had many good conversations and very interesting discussions about Jamaica and the developments taking place.

[Andrew Holness @AndrewHolnessJM]

(3/3) General Colin Powell is the first Jamaican- American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) as Chairman.

May his soul Rest In Peace.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Jamaican leaders are mourning the loss of Colin Powell.

Born in the U.S. to Jamaican parents, Powell was known to honor his heritage and acknowledge the contributions that West Indian immigrants made to America. https://t.co/PcN80DcRb5

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Secretary of State Antony Blinken paid tribute on Monday to Colin Powell.

He praised Powell's worldview, saying that Powell believed "the world was safer when the United States was engaged and its allies and partners were united." https://t.co/xLHPjZACq9

[Los Angeles Times @latimes]

Despite having been vaccinated against COVID-19, Colin Powell remained vulnerable to the coronavirus because of his age and history of cancer — facts that highlight the continued risk faced by many Americans until more of the population is immunized. https://t.co/s664fb8DUL

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

Colin Powell has died of COVID-19 complications, family says https://t.co/nRo0mjOvqB

[Elijah E. Cummings @RepCummings]

Dr. Ford passed a lie detector test and asked for an FBI investigation. Will Judge Kavanaugh do the same?

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

We currently have over 150 Mayors pledging to encourage and inspire civic engagement on September 25th- National Voter Registration Day.

Join the fight. Put the pressure on your local leader now: https://t.co/QJj7T63rTW

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

Withhold 90% of relevant documents. No FBI inquiry of sexual assault allegation. An unnecessarily rushed vote. The legitimacy of the Supreme Court is being/will be put into question. This is pernicious and way more important than a political “victory”.

[Maddie's Fight @OfficialMFF06]

We were able to spend our day at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital! Thank you Noble Squad for showing the kids a great time! We had the best volunteers that read “The Jester Who Lost His Jingle” thanks to The Jester and Pharley Phund for donating the book in Maddie’s honor.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

We cannot go back to the time of back-alley abortions. But that could happen if Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court and helps overturn Roe v. Wade. We must #StopKavanaugh – the lives and futures of countless American women are at stake.

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

(1/2) Several things went very wrong during the @usopen Women’s Finals today. Coaching on every point should be allowed in tennis. It isn’t, and as a result, a player was penalized for the actions of her coach. This should not happen.

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

(2/2) When a woman is emotional, she’s “hysterical” and she’s penalized for it. When a man does the same, he’s “outspoken” & and there are no repercussions. Thank you, @serenawilliams, for calling out this double standard. More voices are needed to do the same.

[Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) @TheBlackCaucus]

.@RepRichmond: "As Members of the CBC, we cannot overstate #WhatsAtStake for African Americans and communities of color... A careful, in-depth evaluation of #StopKavanaugh's record...uncovers writings that illustrate sparse commitment to equal protection under the law."

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

MUST WATCH: #Kavanaugh privately told me he had never taken a position whether a sitting President can be indicted under the Constitution. That just wasn’t true. #WhatsAtStake

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

To block women's access to contraception, Kavanaugh ruled that it was "too burdensome" for employers to fill out a two page form.

But to block women's access to abortion, he ruled that getting court approval for the procedure was "not burdensome enough."
