@DrRobinStevens I have been in LA less than a year. I moved from Florida. I have experienced more blatant and bold racism in this year than I ever have in my whole life. I was called the n-word twice just last week while leaving the grocery store with my 6 yo son. I live in Studio City. Smh.

@clevergirllydia Flick, we trusted you! Should have stuck with Blathers.

The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.

Some will talk to you and text you in their free time. Others will free up their time just to talk to you. You deserve the latter.

Today would’ve been Elijah McClain’s 25th birthday, so I sat down with his mom to talk about what she wants his legacy to mean. https://t.co/WwduKjfwfL

We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...

@RealAbril @Google Every Black woman that I know can relate to this across multiple disciplines. Many of these companies don't want actual diversity but only the appearance of wanting diversity.

@MisterMinor Me too. A weight I forgot was there has been lifted.

I was obsessed with Jeopardy as a nerdy kid growing up in Ohio. I’ve loved and revered Alex Trebek since I can remember. What an iconic career. RIP Alex Trebek.

The same people who said "It can't happen here" and then "No one could have seen it coming" will now say "It wasn't really that bad." It was. Do not let anyone rewrite the history of the Trump admin years. History must be remembered to ensure it does not repeat.

We should not be on the edge of our seats – this should not be so close. Our thanks to the teachers who teach outside the textbook, raising a generation of young people who think critically & are committed to anti-racist social and economic justice. Our future depends on it.

You may have gotten rid of the police in schools, but did you get rid of the people who called those cops in the first place? (My paraphrase)

Thank you, @BLoveSoulPower for *that* word.
