2 days ago ESPN produced a segment called ‘Caitlin Clark: Queen of Clap Backs 👑’. The focus; her clapping, “You’re down 15 points. Shut up,” and of course the “you can’t see me” hand wave.

Her “trash talk” was embraced and celebrated. It wasn’t stigmatized and pathologized.

We face a choice as to what kind of country this will be. If you sit by quietly, you have made your choice. If you worry that we are going too far, you have made your choice. Either you fight for a just America or you side with the evils of our time. No middle ground!

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Brilliant King. Powerful King. This is my father at his most truth-telling, yet love-centered, self. Watch and share.

[Karen Berg @karenforky]

Thank you to everyone watching and sharing this. I am grateful you all are standing with me.

Every time folks talk about Black folks and our “qualifications”, I’m reminded of the legend Coach Thompson.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

There’s actually a good reason why @washingtonpost didn’t call on other presidents to nominate an “impartial” Supreme Court Justice until today

The problem is, understanding this op-Ed requires something that we shouldn’t discuss right now:

Critical Race Theory

A thread:

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

This.

The idea of “Partisan politics” is an inherently white idea. It is easy to believe in bipartisanship and consensus building if your political & physical existence isn’t threatened by one side winning. Being threatened by high taxes & having to wait 3 days for your AR-15.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

1/ I took a light weekend on the social media front, but let me say a few words about Newt's not-so-subtle threats this weekend.

He's right.

He's just saying the quiet part out loud.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Dr. King was a radical critic of racism, capitalism and militarism. He didn't die. He was assassinated. And many, including Regan, fought the national holiday we're not commemorating. If you haven't read, in entirety, his speeches, you've been miseducated & I hope that you will

@nekesamumbi @theferocity I spent an hour playing Two Oruguitas over and over. Spanish and English 😭

[Joy @BrooklynAyo]

@nekesamumbi @theferocity S and I watched it tonight again too - love it soooo much! Best family story in ages. (This is Doreen btw)

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.“ - MLK

59 years later, we are facing the same tragedy.

[The Late Show @colbertlateshow]

On #LSSC tonight: We look back on the abhorrent day of January 6th, 2021.

@Al_Letson Man! Dang! Thank you! There's never any discussion of this. No diner interviews of Black folks and the rage we feel daily!🙏🏿🖤
