Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.

Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.

Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.

Love puts in work.

As we look towards Election Day, let’s take a look back at some of the Black women who have shaped our democracy.

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – that is to have succeeded. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you’re still wearing a mask when you go out, please retweet this tweet. I just want to see how much common sense is still out there.

BREAKING: Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, who was at the WH SCOTUS announcement on Saturday and was criticized for not wearing a mask and shaking hands, has tested positive for COVID-19.

This was just sent out to the campus.

Unclear if he had it during the WH event.

Joe Biden and his wife test negative for coronavirus, according to his doctor https://t.co/x2YBtnivCw

📍BIDEN INFECTION RISK QUESTION: It entirely depends when Trump got infected.

➡️If Trump just got it from Hope Hicks in 2 days prior to Wednesday, Trump wouldn’t have been able to transmit to Biden so soon at debate.

➡️Unless Trump got it much earlier—but then gets tricky. 🧵
