Another Black woman was senselessly killed at the hands of police. As a result of calling 911 for help, Sonya Massey was fatally shot in her own home.

We won't let the deaths of Black people continue to be swept under the rug. Sonya Massey deserves justice. #SayHerName

Thank you, @LEGO_Group, for shipping in a box even I didn’t recognize for what it was, let alone my child. Keeping the birthday surprise alive!

With its latest guest star announcement, let’s look back at the brief but impactful history of LGBTQ+ inclusion on ‘Sesame Street.’

@historyinmemes They offered her a snack and a rest. That’s not shame. That’s smarts.

@robert_hove I am shocked that there were results 🤣

@bluebuffalo She also eats my other dog’s prescription diet (right ✅), which is bigger, in the same bowl as her food, at the same time.

(This is a vet-approved diet; she doesn’t *need* the prescription food but she can eat it. Helps keep food battles at bay between dogs.)

@bluebuffalo My dog loves her food, but seems to think the LifeSource Bits are trash and spits them out 😅🤣 Would you recommend a similar recipe of yours with the bits ingredients integrated so she can’t banish them from her bowl? Thank you!

[𝕃𝕚𝕟𝕝𝕖𝕪 𝔹𝕖𝕔𝕜𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕕𝕘𝕖 @mlbeckbridge]

@bluebuffalo Alas, splashing water is a surefire way to make the whole bowl trash for Stella.

Riddle me this: she LOVES the cats' @bluebuffalo food (left ✅✅), which is nearly the same size as the smaller bites in her food (middle✅❌).

Lily Gladstone on being the first Native American to be #Oscar-nominated for Best Actress.

“Why am I the first? Why did it have to take this long for me to be the first Indigenous North American? Most of the films that show up in these categories are shot on Indigenous land in North America, and it’s taken this long.”

And why aren’t more people condemning the violence in the first place, and only commending the victim for behaving well in its face?

[𝕃𝕚𝕟𝕝𝕖𝕪 𝔹𝕖𝕔𝕜𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕕𝕘𝕖 @mlbeckbridge]

I see that #PeteButtigieg is trending, and click to see why. He’s provided a calm, cool, collected, effective response to violent homophobic speech.

Don’t get me wrong, @PeteButtigieg deserves the respect and commendation.

But please, consider, what if he wasn’t calm? 🧵

Would you think that someone in public service ought to behave better? Would he be too out, too proud, too gay, too loud?

"If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up - lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well."

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
It is unethical for any medical provider to deny treatment to a patient because of religious or moral beliefs. Medicine should be patient centered. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. #MedTwitter https://t.co/0ISEpb4art
