This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

Over the past 19 years, I've watched @MichelleObama, who never sought a career in the public eye, become a master orator. Her speech yesterday at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center may have been her very best. Moving, direct and powerful.

Those attacking our voting rights are afraid of the power we hold and how we’ve poured into this nation’s story. This #Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the fight of those who came before us. Our mission in this moment is unmistakable: push on until our full freedom is finally realized.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Today marks 62 years since James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner disappeared near Philadelphia, Mississippi, while doing the dangerous work of Freedom Summer: voter registration, education, and civil rights.

They had gone to see the burned remains of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, where members of the Ku Klux Klan had beaten worshipers days earlier. After being arrested and released that night, they were kidnapped and killed by members of the Klan. Their bodies were found weeks later.

Their lives were taken because they believed democracy should include Black people, because they believed voting rights were worth risking their safety for, and because they understood that justice requires courage.

As we honor them, we must also recommit to protecting the right to vote, confronting hate, and continuing the work of freedom with disciplined love and nonviolence.

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble!" ~Congressman John Lewis

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

During #PrideMonth we celebrate love, freedom and the courage to live authentically.

From San Francisco to communities across our nation, we honor the trailblazers and activists who expanded the promise of equality and pledge to carry on the work they began.

Happy #Pride!
