A vote today for Trump and his Project 2025 agenda will stop every woman who wants a child from having a child.

IVF is on the ballot today and it takes away a woman's ability to receive help conceiving a child.

WTF is any type of reproductive healthcare anyone else's business, especially the government's business?

Remember this and vote for Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot today.

@realDonaldTrump THIS is an actual intellectual. A Rhodes Scholar and strong woman. She's Rachel #maddow and she has a 5 alarm warning of the game plan under Trump and Project 2025 (which references him 312 times)

[Brian Baez @MentallyDivine]

A lot of Latinos still don’t know about the DANGERS of Project 2025, here’s the breakdown…in SPANISH!

Muchos latinos aún no saben los PELIGROS del Proyecto 2025, aquí está la información… ¡en ESPAÑOL!

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a terrifying moment, Donald Trump says that his Project 2025 plan to round up migrants will be a bloody operation. This is what fascism looks like. Retweet to make sure every American sees this and knows how dangerous Trump is

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Kamala, thank you for the compassion and joy you’ve brought to our politics. Your leadership is what our country needs.

I could not be prouder to be in this with you. You will make an incredible President of the United States.

Every vote matters

Just in: 110-year old Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre voted today in Oklahoma. I’m told she voted for Vice President Harris.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Quincy Jones was a trailblazer.

As a composer, arranger, record and movie producer, he created art that brought joy to millions of people. As an activist, Quincy championed civil and human rights. As a role model, he offered inspiration and mentorship, in particular for young people of color in the music industry.

I was honored to call Quincy a friend, and I will always remember his generosity of spirit, his selfless support, and his deep kindness.

Doug and I are praying for the Jones family and all those who loved him.

Composed by Quincy Jones, and written by Marilyn Bergman and Alan Bergman, the theme for IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT was performed by Ray Charles for the film.
The song mixes gospel and piano to illustrate the main character's dilemma of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Melech. @MelechThomas]

If you attended a predominantly Black kindergarten, middle school, or high school in the early 1990s, there is a large chance that your class sang “Tomorrow” at graduation. The nostalgia. 🥹

There is very little in American music that has been untouched by Quincy Jones. RIP. 💔

[The Academy @TheAcademy]

"This moment, this evening, this spot where I stand tonight was not my destination when I was young and full of vinegar. I did not engineer this journey. To tell you the truth, I don't think I could even see this far." — Quincy Jones accepting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 67th Oscars

[Strong Black Lead @strongblacklead]

In loving memory of Quincy Jones, a true musical legend whose genius shaped the soundtracks of our lives. Your visionary talent and boundless generosity have uplifted communities and inspired generations of artists. While your presence will be deeply missed, your legacy will continue to resonate through the timeless music you've gifted us. Rest in power, Quincy.

[jon batiste @JonBatiste]

There will never be another. A truly singular example of modern artistic excellence and profound humanity. When I'd call him, he would dive right into telling stories and I was all ears. I wish those conversations had been recorded because they were drenched in unlimited insight, wisdom and soul. Whether it was his equal parts awe-inspiring and ridiculously humorous recounting of how he helped shaped cultural history, or our shared love of family, world travels, exploring faith and rising from dark times. Almost everything was discussed and I was always grateful for our relationship.

To fully unlock and reflect upon it all right now is just too much to process.

His anecdotes about work ethic and his constructive feedback of my work were significant factors in sharpening my craft—for instance as a collaborator and unofficial producer on the We Are and World Music Radio albums that changed my artistic trajectory.

But some of the most powerful advice he shared with me was rooted in how to develop your humanity.

The power of prayers and mantras, which he said every morning . His insight about how "Your music can never be more or less than you are as a human being, so work on the human part" or how he and Ray Charles developed inner strength during the civil rights era by instilling within that "Not one ounce of my self worth depends on anyone else's acceptance of me" , a few examples of MANY.
When I won the Academy Award in my speech I evoked his words about the power of 12 Notes, how we all get the same ones and it's up to us what we do with them.

When he wasn't able to travel anymore I would always make a point to visit him in LA to show love, talk life and play for him. The last time we saw each other in person I played for him but this time asked if I could record him listening to me for posterity sake . In the clip I'm playing his "Ai No Corrida" then going into a Chopin waltz, then some blues and then Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight" . Always the best for Q.

You will be forever missed but my goodness did you make your mark sir !! It's on us now to carry it forward 🤲🏾✨

BREAKING: ‘Will I Am’ just dropped a new single called “Yes She Can”.

Hint: “She” is Kamala Harris.

Everyone in America needs to hear it:

[Acyn @Acyn]

Lady Gaga: For more than half of this country's life, women did not have a voice. Yet, we raised children, we held our families together, we supported men as they made the decisions. But tomorrow, women will be a part of making this decision. Today I am holding in my heart all the women who made me who I am. I cast my vote for someone who will be a president for all, for all Americans. And now, Pennsylvania, it is your turn. The country is depending on you, so tomorrow, let's make sure all your voices are heard

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Q: You’re a Republican and you just voted. Who did you vote for?

GOP voter: I voted for Kamala Harris because I cannot forget January 6. It is ingrained in my mind
