Anxiety inadvertently made me an overachiever which then fueled my anxiety so I had to maintain the standard of overachieving and that is, well, impossible

innocence cannot be our metric for determining who is and is not worthy of life, of living. guilt & innocence is a binary that folds under the weight of this nation’s history and cruelty. your innocence is always conditional

[Big Nasty ☭ @keepaustinnasty]

The fact that the USA is about to execute an innocent citizen - they know is innocent, the DA now says is innocent, the evidence proves he is innocent, should be enough for everyone to tear the system down.

Marcellus Williams could be any of us.
Marcellus Williams is all of us.

[Innocence Project @innocence]

With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. https://t.co/2wq41v09Hj

[Black Lives Matter (BLM) @Blklivesmatter]

We, like Marcellus Williams’ son, are holding onto hope for a miracle today.

@GovParsonMO, stopping this execution would not only honor the pleas of prosecutors, the victim’s family, and those who know Marcellus—it would also show respect for the dignity of Black life.

Michelle Obama is a Black mother through and through! I feel like I’m both being chastised and motivated. Loving but firm and stands on business. I love her.

Flashback 2012: The Obama campaign wasn't ready to endorse marriage equality.

But when asked about it, Joe Biden broke with the campaign's messaging and endorsed it.

An avalanche of Democrats, including President Obama, soon followed him.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Wow.

If you are to watch one video this morning, watch this.

Pete Buttigieg perfectly explains why Billionaires in Silicon Valley now support Trump and why J.D. Vance has flip flopped to liking Trump.
