If you succeed within a system it’s hard to see how fucked up it is.

[California Endowment @CalEndow]

We have a mental health system that is woefully unprepared to offer culturally competent assistance to Black Americans.

More Black mental health workers are needed. #Health4All https://t.co/VcIHrIOHY5

Happy birthday, America. Thank you for letting me live the American Dream. We must fight every day to make sure that dream is as true for a Black child born in Minneapolis as it was for a white bodybuilder born in Austria. via @attn

People need to understand how huge this is. Maya Moore is one of the most decorated basketball players of all time and she halted her career IN HER PRIME to right an injustice. This is just amazing.

Good morning ☀️ A friend of mine shared this video of social distanced salsa and it’s how i’m tryna be.

Enjoy.

[Rachael Rollins @DARollins]

Watch her reaction to being asked to wear a mask at Trader Joe’s. This level of outrage is tolerated by our society in that instance. What is the commensurate level of outrage for witnessing your people targeted, murdered & brutalized? Asking for a friend. https://t.co/5LNOTgz17y

This anti-asian phrase which POTUS used, which I will not repeat, is a good reminder that the President is a full spectrum bigot and if he hasn't gotten to you yet he eventually will.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

In 2016, Pres. Trump claimed voter fraud to explain his loss in the popular vote. It was a lie. Now, with horrible polling, he's trying to delegitimize the vote - through suppression and more lies about voting by mail. This is a big story. Put all his allies on the record.

Jesus was a brown refugee, Yall would’ve put him in a cage.

[Oprah Winfrey @Oprah]

“If your concern with the murder of Black people by police can be deterred or shifted because someone is taking a pair of jeans from a Target, then you’ve got to look at how much you cared about the murder of the Black people by the police to begin with."- @ava #OWNSpotlight

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

¡Esooooo! 🇵🇷💃🏾

[Ben Wexler @mrbenwexler]

Leaders who have hidden in a bunker and gassed their own citizens include Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump

[Sierra Smith @Sierra_C_Smith]

The world is watching.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

For leaders enforcing a curfew, what plans are in place to protect ppl experiencing homelessness (yet another crisis disproportionately facing Black Americans)?

Genuinely wondering. Feel free to share what you see here.

Without a plan, the homeless will be subject to violence.

Thousands now chanting “black lives matter” in front of the US Embassy in Berlin #GeorgeFloyd

[LAFD Foundation @LAFDFoundation]

EMERGENCY UPDATE: @LAFDFoundation needs your help. We’re requesting donations at https://t.co/1G3X567piv to provide hydration backpacks for @LAFD firefighters working tirelessly to contain the fires across Southern California. Any amount of money you can spare makes a difference.

We're sad to hear that #RobertGuillaume, one of @PhantomOpera's great leads here at the Ahmanson, has passed away. https://t.co/fsKXm44f94
