[The Black Wall Street Times @TheBWSTimes]

There is a difference between a riot and a massacre. And white people don’t get to define Black trauma.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

The spiritual and moral rot of this administration has given way to the rot of corruption that now infects the highest office in the land.

#OnThisDay in 1921, one of the deadliest racial massacres in U.S. history began in the thriving Greenwood African American community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Black Wall Street in Tulsa, OK, was destroyed by a mob. Explore: https://t.co/1urx2dCDTY. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

This is what Greenwood looked like before it was attacked and destroyed. Before the smoke and flames, before the killing, there was a thriving Black community known as Black Wall Street, filled with Black owned businesses, homes, faith, dignity, and possibility.

What began on May 31, 1921 was an assault on one of the most prosperous Black communities in the nation, a place where Black enterprise, excellence, and self determination were visible in every block. The violence would continue into June 1 and leave that community devastated. More than 35 blocks were destroyed, hundreds were killed, and thousands were left homeless.

We must remember not only how Greenwood was destroyed, but what was stolen.

105 years ago today, a mob of White people began a vile, murderous attack on the Greenwood District, a flourishing Black community in Tulsa and the home of Black Wall Street.

Imagine if the Greenwood District, and many other thriving Black communities, had not been intentionally destroyed at the hands of racism and white supremacy.

Banning “Roots” was never just about a book. It was about whether people are allowed to fully confront the truth of Black history in America. Alex Haley gave generations a powerful window into the pain, resilience, and humanity of our ancestors. That history CANNOT be erased. https://t.co/mEIEfIKZ1v

Sunday marks the 105-year commemoration of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The events of that day in Tulsa, Oklahoma, still reverberate throughout a community seeking justice. https://t.co/Nrkz07Ub2F

My mother warned decades ago that voting discrimination was not a relic of the past, and today her words still ring with painful clarity.

What she understood then is what we are still confronting now: when voting rights are weakened, democracy itself is diminished. The methods may evolve, but the intent to silence, dilute, and discourage remains.

As we face renewed efforts that chip away at the protections so many fought to secure, may we listen carefully to her witness and recommit ourselves to defending the heart and soul of democracy.

Today, we commemorate the Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of the Greenwood District, or Black Wall Street. This is personal to me: my ancestors left Oklahoma for Denver after the attacks. Remembering our history matters, and so does building a better future from it.

[Donna Brazile @donnabrazile]

This is racial discrimination!

I asked @JamalHBryant what happened to the prophetic voice in the Black church. His answer stopped me in my tracks: https://t.co/CRwSCMJJYW

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

Putting folks on notice: the @scdp, led by @ChristaleSpain, with a little help from yours truly, did what folks said couldn’t be done: recruited Democrats to run in ALL 124 State House seats and every statewide and congressional race in South Carolina.

Every district. Every corner of this state. No hiding spots. No free rides. No uncontested power.

And let me say this plainly: we are about to walk out of this wilderness. The giant’s slumber is over.

For too long folks counted South Carolina out. Too long they banked on apathy, low turnout, division, and hopelessness.

But something is shifting. People are tired of the corruption. Tired of the chaos. Tired of politicians who serve themselves instead of the people.

We have the candidates. We have the fight. We have the energy.

Now we need the voters. Because if our people show up, South Carolina WILL change.

I asked Dr. @JamalHBryant what gives him hope about the next generation. His answer is the kind of thing you need to hear right now: https://t.co/CRwSCMJJYW

Less than 4% of PhD candidates in CS-related fields are people of African descent.

The 2026 Emerging Leaders in AI (ELAI) program is helping change that through mentorship, grad school prep, mock interviews, and community.

On this 6th anniversary, let us honor George Floyd’s memory by recommitting ourselves to building a more just society.

We should never have to choose between justice and public safety. We must do both.

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

“Find A Black Doctor” was created to help address the deadly healthcare disparities Black communities have faced for generations. Now, a conservative anti-DEI group are suing the platform for allegedly discriminating against non-Black physicians. Attacking culturally competent care ignores the inequities that made it necessary in the first place! https://t.co/LCQAGGbxJs

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

This is bigger than Democrats versus Republicans.

For many of us in South Carolina and across the South, this is personal.
It's about the sacrifices our parents and grandparents made so we could finally have a voice.

Now that voice is being divided and diminished for political power.

Watch.
Share.
Speak out.
We cannot go back.

Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country — and Black mamas face the worst outcomes. I know that fear personally.

That’s why I introduced the Blood Pressure MATTERS Act to help pregnant and postpartum patients access home blood pressure monitors and lifesaving care.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

Humor me for a second…

Two of the most devastating Supreme Court decisions of my lifetime: Dobbs and Callais. One stripped away bodily autonomy from women. The other gutted voting rights and diminished the political power of Black voters.

Now compare the reaction across the Democratic ecosystem after each ruling: the activism on the ground and online, the focus from talking heads and party leaders, the resources mobilized to blunt the impact and organize people into action.

The level of urgency has not been the same or even similar. And for many of us, that lack of urgency has been painful to watch.
