Our thoughts are with Derek Redmond and his family following the death of his father, Jim.

Together, they brought us one of the most inspirational moments in Olympic history. ❤️

I'm finally watching Abbott Elementary and I co-sign every single excellent review I've seen of this show. I spent most of my career reporting in schools like this and the show handles this with honesty, clarity, respect, heart and humor.

That time
we all heard it,
cool and clear,
cutting across the hot grit of the day....
Warning, in music-words
devout and large,
that we are each other’s
harvest:
we are each other’s
business:
we are each other’s
magnitude and bond.

Remember Marcus Belin?

[Rep. Lauren Underwood @RepUnderwood]

Black History is American history, and it’s made every day. In honor of Black History Month, I will be spotlighting the impact of Black community members in Illinois’ 14th Congressional District. Today, I am spotlighting 5th generation educator Marcus Belin.

Oh, if Nixon (or any other President) had only appointed Pauli Murray to the Supreme Court. . .

[Irin Carmon @irin]

In 1971, when Hugo Black retired, Pauli Murray wrote to Richard Nixon to propose replacing him. "I am a Negro woman 60 years old...My application is to forestall the popular misconception that no qualified women applied or are available." A half century later...

.@quintabrunson’s Abbott Elementary is hilarious and I wonder if the name of the school is a lowkey nod to Abbott v Burke

[Simran Jeet Singh @simran]

The first hate crime casualty after 9/11 was a Sikh named Balbir Singh Sodhi, murdered by a man who thought Balbir was Muslim

On The Daily Show, Hasan Minhaj asked, “Why don't you just go “Hey—I'm not Muslim.”

This was my response. I hope you’ll join us.

RACHEL and I ran in September 1810 from Henry Smith Turner’s farm; I managed to take a good amount of clothing for us to change into. We may have gone east or north to freedom. I was called EMILINE.
