From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.

[Halle Berry @halleberry]

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

This is a historic moment. For over 60 years, @AARP has been working to lower prescription drug prices. Thanks to today’s Senate vote, millions of Americans 50+ are one step closer to real relief from out-of-control costs for medications. https://t.co/Jze5ePNHgk
