It grieves me to think
the dead won't see them—
these things we depend on,
they disappear.

and the gray feather a thrush lost,
and the gentle light that strays and vanishes
and returns.”

It’s not hard to see that the President Trump is simply not telling the truth when he compares the coronavirus and the flu.

A fact check graph brought to you by @Newshour showing COVID has killed, in one year, more Americans than the flu has in the last five seasons combined.

John Lewis asked The NYT to publish this on the day of his funeral. It is necessary reading. He writes, “When you see something that is not right, you must say something ... Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part.” https://t.co/gNWQDpeAZt

Today I asked a bunch black journalist friends at various news outlets (from small to big, newspaper to digital) how many black editors their newsrooms have.

The most common answer: Z e r o.

[NPR @NPR]

"I'm praying to God," said Bianca Austin, Breonna Taylor's aunt. "We need real change in America. I've got to still raise a little black boy here in the world we live in. ... Nobody's safe. If this can happen to Breonna, it can happen to anybody."

remarkably grim detail from the scene near the White House shortly before peaceful protesters were gassed and shot with rubber bullets to clear a path for the president https://t.co/XkvubfzaU9

[NPR Politics @nprpolitics]

Police in Washington, D.C. used tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters to clear them away from St. John's church, which suffered a small fire Sunday night, near the White House.

President Trump then walked to the church for a photo op. https://t.co/QrdVmtcfUA
