Today I got the COVID-19 vaccine. I am incredibly grateful to our frontline health care workers, scientists, and researchers who made this moment possible.

When you’re able to take the vaccine, get it. This is about saving lives.

Breonna's life matters. https://t.co/9ZYhIu7HPL

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

The state of Kentucky deemed the lives of Breonna Taylor’s neighbors to be worth more than her own. Let that sink in.

Nonviolence is not passive.
It is active and strategic.
It refuses to cooperate with evil.
It is principled and well-informed.

100-year-old Katie Nichson celebrates her birthday with a message: "Go out and vote! And also, be counted in the Census...Get up off your butt and get out and vote, and drag somebody with you if you can."

Be clear. Police officers are not servants of God. They are civil authorities charged with maintaining the peace of the empire. And offering flimsy interpretations of Romans 13 will not change this. So stop.

50 days.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

606 lawsuits were filed against the LA police, with 539 against the LA County Sheriff’s Office. The county spent $81 M settling or litigating these lawsuits.

What happened to these officers was awful, but it’s funny how the police want everyone else to be accountable but them.

We deserve a president who cares whether his fellow Americans live or die.

50 days. Just 50 days for us to organize, mobilize, and make sure everyone we know is registered to vote. Time to roll up our sleeves and stand together for a better future.

A white woman was recorded harassing and then calling the police on a Black federal census employee for simply standing in front of her neighbor’s house as he went door-to-door collecting data for the 2020 census: https://t.co/Qbvhtv6JYK

A Black friend from New York City just called me this afternoon as he was driving through southern Illinois on his way to Oklahoma. He was nervous because a white police officer followed him for three miles on the highway, racially profiled him and pulled him over...
