Today is The Day my brother died. This year more than half a million other families will mark The Day they lost someone to COVID. Don't make your family mark The Day. Please get vaccinated.
I don't care what was in his system. I don't care if he was drunk. I don't care if he was high. I don't care if he was angry. I don't care if he was sad. I don’t care. THAT COP’S KNEE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THAT MAN’S NECK FOR ALMOST 9 MINUTES. Period. End of story. That’s it.
My father in Cairo weeks before he’d be assassinated at age 39. Despite following his every move an FBI informant called him, “a man of high moral character who neither smokes nor drinks.” He spoke truth to power, and we know that truth is timeless. Rest In Peace, Dad 2/21/1965🌟
Rush called @KamalaHarris a "Ho" - saying "Joe & Ho" - & accused her of sleeping her way to the top.
This is you, @SenateGOP@HouseGOP@GOP. This is what you celebrate. This is who you honor. And hopefully, this is the grotesque behavior that will burn your party to the ground.
In my last Zoom, someone suggested we needed to rush off or else we'd miss the end of @repjohnlewis' funeral and remarks from President Obama. I laughed. They had no clue about Black funeral culture. I've done another Zoom and had lunch and Auntie is still talking.

Clergy Calling for Consequences is a multicultural interfaith alliance. We believe there are too many instances where Black lives have been taken without justifiable cause or legal consequence. So, we’re standing together in support of Arbery's family to change this trajectory.
The pandemic has magnified the financial insecurity of too many American families, the deep and real racial disparities in our society – and the imbalanced burdens on working moms. We have to create something better for America on the other side of this. https://t.co/eyy3dC22Ze
We can't deny that racial and socioeconomic factors are playing a role in who is being hit the hardest by the virus. It's a reminder for our policymakers to keep our most vulnerable communities at the forefront when making decisions.
