@JoyAnnReid I pulled up to a BP Station that other day, and didn't realize the franchise owner was "QAnon-Friendly" until I had filled half my tank.
I went inside and demanded not to pay. The attendant said I had to pay, so I called the police on him for being a fascist and just drove away.
Honoring the memory of a mother who sent her child into the lion's den, praying that she not be eaten by the very lions charged with her education, a mother whose ultimate sacrifice enabled school desegregation. #lucillebridges#rubybridges#FaithOverFear https://t.co/PJN02hWpkO
We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors so we can pay forward to our children, love v hate, empathy v apathy, fire v fear. "You will not fear the terror by night, nor the arrow by day." (Ps 91:5) "Until we are all free, we are none of us free." (Lazarus) #Vote2020

Welcome back to school teachers.😊 Here's a little pep talk from the Kid Superintendent. We are here for you as we all do the best we can. @YPSElementaryEd https://t.co/XubOEzRPUQ

As we stand on the shoulders of this #AmericanHero, how will we choose to "redeem the soul of our nation," "answer the highest calling of our heart," and "stand up for what we believe?" #RIPJohnLewis#GoodTrouble#WellDone

The world has lost a legend; the civil rights movement has lost an icon, the City of Atlanta has lost one of its most fearless leaders, and the CBC has lost our longest serving member.
Wishing a wonderful birthday to @Malala! As we celebrate #MalalaDay, let’s not simply be in awe of her accomplishments. Let’s join her inspiring work for education and do our part to support the extraordinary talents and potential of girls around the world.
Our communities need more dream catchers, social activists and mentors. How will we respond to the needs of students most affected by COVID-19? #SundaySoliloquy Empower a girl, transform a community (Kakenya Ntaiya | TEDWomen 2018) https://t.co/dArckIBGF0 via @TEDTalks
