Eschew colorism. #AllOfOurShadesAreBeautiful

So sad to hear about the passing of the legendary Harry Belafonte. Through his work in television, music, film, and stage, he broke down barriers across the entire industry, and so many of us today are forever indebted to him ! So thank you, Mr. Belafonte, for your lasting impact and legacy !

In the midst of our grief over the senseless killing of more of our siblings, may we draw comfort and strength from these words. #SayTheirNames

@jananamirah We are glad that they did not do an alternating schedule with Primary.

[Jana Riess @janariess]

Fascinating & excellent change that Family Home Evening is now going to be flexible to accommodate whichever night of the week families can hold it, even though the Church will continue the policy of not having Church meetings on Monday nights. #generalconference

[FEMWOC @femwoc]

So, what will you do with your extra hour?
#GeneralConference #TWOHOURBLOCK

[FEMWOC @femwoc]

It will be a two hour block. #GeneralConference

[FEMWOC @femwoc]

Is it childish of us to play the game of “(Can) I spy the people of color in the Choir?” #GeneralConference

We are undoubtedly in for a hellacious week in terms of the news cycle, please make sure to take care of yourself. Here are some tips that might help. Please share!

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

Having dudes in charge of literally everything is not working at all for anyone except those dudes.

[FEMWOC @femwoc]

@BreeNewsome And the “machinery of racism” is even more powerful in this situation when it is a white woman and a Black man.

[FEMWOC @femwoc]

@jananamirah Yes, they do.

[FEMWOC @femwoc]

As always, @Trevornoah nails it. "S**tstorm Donald" is the best description ever for 45.

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

S**tstorm Donald has strengthened to a Category 5 as it bears down on the U.S. with a reckless disregard for facts.

Some would argue that 45 is simply channeling our "Founding Fathers" who thought that the idea of counting each enslaved persons as 3/5ths of a person was a good one. Apparently, numbers are always different when Black and brown people are in the mix. #NotSoNewMath

The 3,000 person figure that’s been used as Puerto Rico’s death toll comes from an estimate in a study by independent researchers at George Washington University and was commissioned by the government of Puerto Rico https://t.co/64zkmM0OQV
