Ketanji Brown Jackson, DC Circuit
Candace Jackson-Akiwumi, 7th Circuit
Tiffany Cunningham, Federal Circuit
Eunice Lee, 2nd Circuit

All 4 federal appellate judges confirmed in 2021 are Black women. Before this year, only 8 Black women had EVER served in this role.

This matters.

@bmluse I’ve been trying to tell you this for evah!!!! Finally caught up to your big sis. Dinner is an outing and pre-dinner drinks are balling.

[AdvancingJusticeATL @AAAJ_Atlanta]

We are shaken by the violence in our city that has left 8 ppl dead, including members of the Asian American community. We are gathering info about what happened & the needs of directly impacted are. Now is the time to hold the victims & their families in our hearts & with light

@SamSpital 🥺 and because of social distancing, you can’t even pretend it’s not directed at you - who is else is coming to your house?... but upside, it’s strong prose.

[Gimlet Union @GimletUnion]

If you’d like to support Gimlet Union and our work, and help make the podcasting industry better for everyone, including POC - a thread!

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

On this day, Feb. 17, 1865, Black people took over what I believe is one of the most important pieces of property in the history of this country.

This is literally my favorite story of all time.

A thread.

RIP Chick Corea. The Return to Forever project remains one of the most technically magnificent creations of cosmic slop ever laid down. A blueprint for genre fusion and deep galactic jazz. The fossil fuel for an eternity of rap samples. https://t.co/RsRcyAeCua

Today was good. #Inauguration

[@DrBritWilliams on 🦋sky @DrBritWilliams]

There’s an Amanda Gorman at every HS you call underperforming, inner city, and/or the G word.

Honor. Black. Students. Art.

#InaugurationDay

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

@iammarypryor Who’s concert bucket list had #FooFighters on it
🙄

[Monique Lin-Luse @mlinluse]

@iammarypryor This! I was like just get Black choir if you want to hear a Black choir, and we can skip the white guy out front

[Michele Norris @michele_norris]

As of noon today there is not a single black woman serving in the US Senate. Stop what you are doing. Write a letter to the woman you want to serve in the senate even if she cannot see it for herself, even if she can’t see a path , even if she is in high school,

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

A thread of Dr. King in color, as we commemorate his 92nd birthday.

Please spread the word! @NAACP_LDF is launching a $40 million scholarship program to support a new generation of civil rights lawyers, dedicated to pursuing racial justice across the South. https://t.co/LcpwzyII7r

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

A thread of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay #BelovedCommunity

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

Context is key.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Why is Mitch McConnell refusing to agree to aid without shields for corporations? Let’s reflect on why corporations don’t want to be liable.

Last summer a massive outbreak swept through a Foster Farms plant. Hundreds got sick. At least 9 died. (1/thread)

One pandemic thing I am grateful for: professional” athlesiure” - video conferencing opens up the world of clothes that are shaped like professional clothes but are essentially sweats:)
