A little bit of #Oscars history.

Marlon Brando asked Native actress Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse the Oscar on his behalf due to the mistreatment of Native people in the film industry.

She was booed and applauded. Actor John Wayne, cussing, had to be held back by security.

@BozT I attended a church that said it was time to mature and that’s why they bought a bigger building and formalized the kids’ ministry. I’m not sure White American evangelicals understand spiritual maturity on a basic level.

Extensive PCR testing showed that fully vaccinated people had lower viral loads than un- or partially vaccinated, supporting decreased potential for Delta transmission

Black people do not need to be excellent to be worthy of love.

Updated to say that the correct spell of this baby's name is Ma'Khia and her mother has told reporters that she was 16.

THIS IS ACCOUNTABILITY NOT JUSTICE. REMEMBER THAT.

A guilty verdict won’t bring consequences to a guilty system

She thought her son went missing until Chicago Police knocked on her door 2 days later after killing her child!

Adam Toledo, 13 year old Latino boy shot in the chest by Chicago Police

Police are refusing to release body cam footage

HELP HER GET JUSTICE

SAY HIS NAME

[Grace H Alexander @gracealexander]

Agree wholeheartedly

[Tayhlor Coleman @tayhlorcoleman]

Seeing reports on the news that entire families died in their homes overnight due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Homeless people have been found dead on medians in the middle of the street. Cell service is down. No word from the state on power restoration.

Please pray for Texas.

It’s like the history of the US civil war, the fall of Reconstruction & the rise of Jim Crow all condensed into a 4 month timespan

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

...b/c Republicans already said they’re going to acquit, so what’s the point of making any further effort at a public hearing? Let’s just give a medal & standing ovation to the one Black officer we ID’d as a convenient symbol, have a handshake among white gentlemen & move on. 🙂

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

So to recap:

-GOP launches 7 year assault on voting rights
-Black communities mobilize to deliver control of gov’t to Dems
-GOP tries to throw out Black votes & incites an insurrection at Capitol
-Black LEO saves officials, Black staff cleans up
-Dems compromise w/ GOP

You can’t honor our frontline workers, while also fill a stadium with 25,000 people.

[Craig Spencer MD MPH @Craig_A_Spencer]

There are thousands of people in a stadium for a sports event like we’re in country that’s managed covid instead of one still averaging 3,000 deaths a day.
