Giving reparations to people is NOT taboo. It’s happened before. Black people - we deserve better! Our water and air are polluted, infrastructure of our communities are crumbling, and our schools are underfunded. We deserve better. We deserve #Reparations #BlackLivesMatter

I’ve been to trying come up with an analogy to describe what navigating through whiteness is like and this is what I’ve come up with,

Navigating through whiteness is like walking through a mine field, except in this case you have no clue where the mines were set. 1/

I just received a letter in the mail from someone who is incarcerated who heard me on NPR Science Friday (@SciFri).

He wrote 4 pages about the joy he gets from watching mocking birds nest right outside his cell window, and a prayer from the Quran. I am in tears.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Brian Kemp is sitting in Stacey Abrams’s chair because of voter suppression—and now under his watch, yet another election has been marred by dysfunction and disenfranchisement. We have to break our country's vicious cycle of voter suppression once and for all.

.@StrangaStrange, w/ @MakeTheRoadPA, noted that police officers regularly encounter noncompliant people, but they don’t shoot them. “No matter what the jury said today, Joseph Santos is dead, and he leaves an enormous family with enormous grief,” she said. #EndPoliceBrutality

If you think Democrats worked with the entire world on a “new hoax” to take down @realDonaldTrump, then yes I think you are stupid, disrespect you and believe you are part of a cult.

BECAUSE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT TRUMP. TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND.

BREAKING: Joy Reid just called out Jack Kingston on live tv for his lies. Joy repeatedly stopped Kingston mid-sentence while he was lying, even doing an on-air fact check with her producers. This is how we beat propaganda. This is how it’s done. #AMJoy #AmericansDemandWitnesses
