My mama, who serves tough love and big hugs, keeps a pep talk for me in her pocket: “You went to Bronx Science.” That means: “Excellence is expected of you, so proceed.” My elite public high school education is now available to far fewer black students. 1/ https://t.co/OUZiogwOBo

What a powerful piece of journalism. What a nuanced description of racism in health care. What a heartbreaking loss. What a loving tribute to your father @marissaaevans. You are making lots of folks feel seen, and opening the eyes of others. Thank you.

Russia’s strategy has shifted over six days of attacks on Kyiv, as troops move toward the capital on both sides of the Dnieper River but face a fierce defense mounted by Ukrainian forces. https://t.co/wFu53zeVGP

@CECabrera_ I love love love to see you shining, Claudio. You are like a rocket. Congratulations. 🚀🚀🚀

PSA: Can we just all agree that a person cannot be “diverse”? A group of people? Sure! An individual? No. Please stop saying things like “a diverse candidate” or “a diverse leader” Thank you. 🙏🏽

Two months ago, I started working on a process to turn private community convos into public resource docs, in a way that centers consent and transparency.

So excited that with @CarolineYLChen @ashgraf @LizzyHazeltine @johnhrnndz @aroyalbox + many others, we made it happen!!!

It is an *incredible* honor to receive this award, as #GwenIfill was an amazing journalist and someone who dedicated herself to lifting up others. Generously sharing what you know and knowing others always have something to teach you—I hope I can live up to those values, always.
