Texas State Sen. Roland Gutierrez (D) claims Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) told “his top cop ... ’Don’t tell people that the people that died in Allen, Texas, were mostly minorities ... ‘cause I’m gonna go down to the border and blame Biden for some bullshit that’s not existent.’”

Roy Wood, Jr (@roywoodjr): "All the essential, fair and nuanced reporting, it's all stuck behind a pay wall...say what you want about a conspiracy theory but at least it's affordable."

Roy Wood Jr. breaks down what an NFT is while going after Justice Clarence Thomas: 'We can all see Clarence Thomas... but he belongs to billionaire Harlan Crow — and that’s what an NFT is' #WHCD

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Roy Wood Jr. points out the double standard in how Kamala Harris has been treated during her vice presidency:

'The scandal of what does Kamala do … is a disrespectful question because nobody ever asked that question of a vice president until a woman got the job' #WHCD

Harry Belafonte, the civil rights and entertainment giant who began as a groundbreaking actor and singer and became an activist and humanitarian has passed away at 96. https://t.co/cOCJ8RdBBL

[Martin Luther King III @OfficialMLK3]

After dad was assassinated, Harry Belafonte joined me, mom, and my siblings in Memphis. He was one of the only people to make sure that mom and her children were taken care of in the months, days, and years after the assassination. He was there for us even when others had gone.

"I love being Black and discovering all the things that Black was about and tried desperately to make sure I portrayed that aspect of our being with dignity."

The voice of the people in Tennessee’s Distrcit 86, the voice that was unjustly removed, has been reinstated. What they believed to be a crucifixion, initiated a resurrection of a movement to create a democracy that works for the people!

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

We were debating the most racist state of ALL TIME, so here’s a question for the Blacks:

You’re gonna be instantly transported to another state & time in history. You don’t get to choose where you go but you can EXCLUDE 1 state from the possibilities

Which state do you exclude?
