#EmmettTill was brutalized, dehumanized, and murdered 67 years ago today.
This heinously racist lynching was in response to a lie.
But even if it had been true, Emmett should still be here.
There’s no justification.
The work for justice continues.
Emmett would be 81.
5 justices confirmed by a POTUS who lost the popular vote.
4 lied under oath.
2 credibly accused of sexual assault.
1’s seat literally stolen.
1’s spouse implicated in a coup attempt.
It is not enough to tell people to vote. We need a comprehensive plan to fix this court.

If you’re not one of the nearly 210 million Americans who are fully vaccinated – now’s the time.

Even before #COVID19, NC’s foster care system was experiencing record levels of need driven up by #opioid use. In the wake of the pandemic, #SubstanceUse has risen sharply leaving even more families destabilized … and more children vulnerable. https://t.co/6Dw3Wve440

Access to quality #HealthCare is important for good health, and it’s no secret that shortages in the health care workforce make it more and more difficult for people to receive the care they need. Here’s what @jrlumpkin identifies as a solution for NC. https://t.co/FIagyjQjrD
