Until a white majority feels so deeply in our soul that the pain of black and brown people is our own pain, it will continue to be dangerous to be black or brown in America. #BlackLivesMatter#icantbreathe
Friendships are gentle, spacious, welcoming rooms you can dance in, sleep in, tell your stories in, hold hands in, eat noodles in, make art in, fall apart in, hold & be held in, unfold & surmount in.
Make these rooms. Tend to their upkeep. Leave a little light on.
Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today’s marches happen. Keep at it. You’re leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.
An entire community is grieving. 17 people are dead. The first funeral, that of a 14 year-old, is being held today down the road. But yeah, nice view. https://t.co/Iin6xpuYxu
As we count down to the new year, we get to reflect and prepare for what’s ahead. For all the bad news that seemed to dominate our collective consciousness, there are countless stories from this year that remind us what's best about America.
