@ARRAYNow I love the tribute. Incidentally, adding to his prodigious list of achievements, Parks was also a semi-professional basketball player and a librettist.
@AskLyft huge complaint seeking adjustment after disasterous Lyft experience: nearly 30 min wait, "ghosted" by (2) two dispstched cars, then at last pick up vehicle seats are not merely wet they are drenched.
@ChewyHelp Although there is a CLEAR and prominent sign at the UNSECURED doorway of our building prohibiting deliveries from being dropped there, yet it keeps happening. It's easy enough for a driver to get buzzed in by the recipient or building supt. What to do??
What happened to the dream of my hero Thurgood Marshall? Equality. Fairness. Justice. #Today I start a new journey—DREAM INTERRUPTED: Searching for Thurgood Marshall & the Struggle to Save the Soul of a Nation—w/ @littlebrown@PronoySarkar & @LCDail. I hope you will walk with me.
#ThurgoodMarshall died 29 years ago today. He left us with a brilliant legacy, but also so much work to do. Here are my reflections on this anniversary of the death of America's greatest lawyer, ever. https://t.co/6nOSnBRCgF

He’s monitored more than 100 elections around the world. Now Jimmy Carter is taking on GOP efforts to suppress the vote in the State of Georgia and across the country. @HardballChris for @monthly. https://t.co/goVOcYfmVb
“What we've seen is what some people call truth decay. Something that's been accelerated by outgoing President Trump, the sense that not only do we not have to tell the truth, but the truth doesn't even matter,” says former President Obama. https://t.co/SemqJzMGMD

I’ve ALWAYS preferred the Livestudio Mix to the album version but in all honesty they’re both fantastic R’N’B tracks. Anyone else prefer a remix version to their album counterpart?
In White House Rose Garden, 1955, President Eisenhower thanked Dr. Jonas Salk for his “selfless and dedicated medical research” to find a polio vaccine. He did not take credit for himself.
