Danggit!🙏Our prayers go out to the Butler family.🙏🙏We lost another brick in the foundation, Mr. Jerry Butler Jr. (December 8, 1939 – February 20, 2025) was an American soul singer-songwriter, producer, musician, and politician. He was the original lead singer of the R&B vocal group the Impressions, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. (I use to sing his songs in the nite clubs before joining James Brown).🫡 Mr. Butler was cooler than cold, that's why they called him, The Ice Man. R.I.P Ur music is legendary...
Bootsy baby!!!🤩 #WesternUnionMan #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence

They would much rather be destroyed by a white man than to be saved by a black woman. Let that sink in. 🤦🏾‍♀️😞

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Let’s be clear, Trump’s tariffs will be paid by Americans. Like a tax.

They will raise prices across the board. On food. On gas. On families. On small businesses.

An average American can expect to pay an annual tax of around $2600.

So much for his promise of lower prices.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

So sad to learn of the passing of one of our cultural icons of the Black Arts and Civil Rights Movements. Renowned poet, activist, author, and professor, Nikki Giovanni, passed peacefully at her home yesterday. She was 81 years old. RIP to true trailblazer. 🙏🕊

Disappointed? Yes, but clearly a message that we all need to hear. I needed this message personally. Thank you #mayorbmscott we need and support you as well. #POWER 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Thank you @KingJames for using your voice to make clear what’s at stake.

Listen to LeBron, make sure you vote.

[Mr. Christopher @iamalmostlegend]

Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay had one of the best takes summarizing who Trump is, what he represents, and why he’s untouchable.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Hello, North Carolina! It’s good to be here today to talk about what’s at stake in this election. Tune in – and make sure you have a plan to vote. https://t.co/jIXHdp15vA

They are some self hatin raccoons who also hate Black women. 💯

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Real strength is about helping people who need it. It’s about standing up for those who can’t always stand up for themselves. Let’s get to work and vote for the leaders who demonstrate that kind of character. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz.

I went on @BBCQuestionTime in Philly & the Trump fans in the audience didn't like this answer from me:

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

I see the MAGA trolls are mad that Magic Johnson endorsed Kamala Harris because he’s a “celebrity billionaire.” But they have no problem with Trump being a “celebrity billionaire” or with billionaire Elon Musk endorsing Trump. I wonder what’s the difference? 🤔
