My friend John Lewis is surely smiling down on his beloved Georgia this morning, as people across the state carried forward the baton that he and so many others passed down to them.
The death penalty is barbaric. It is inhumane. It MUST be abolished.
I'm heartbroken for Brandon Bernard and his family. He was an 18yo accomplice in a crime that occurred in 1999. The death penalty is ALWAYS wrong but the facts here are exceptionally egregious. #BrandonBernard
Donald Trump’s attempts to stop votes from being counted are the actions of a desperate man trying to cling to power just a little longer.
It's undemocratic. It's pathetic.
And it won't work.
Y’all are surprised that Zapata is red? Go to y’all’s family gatherings and hear them speak about others. Everybody here is judgmental, homophobic, racist, scared of change, and broke (but they say they’re not). It was obvious this was going to happen.
absolutely heartbreaking. Vanessa Guillen deserves JUSTICE! everyone involved needs to be held accountable including Fort Hood. #JusticeForVanessaGuillen
"My sister is NO JOKE. My sister is a HUMAN BEING. And I want justice. My sister did not do this to herself. Someone did it." Vanessa Guillen's sister gave an emotional plea in the case of her sister's disappearance from Fort Hood. abc13.com/6287898/
The #coronavirus cases are starting to peak in many states but perhaps we aren’t seeing the full picture. Also, discussing the WHO’s recent flub on asymptotic spread on this week’s Wednesday Checkup 🙏🏼⛑👉🏼 youtu.be/GaQXzNQbH0U
Let me just add... even I have said/done things unintentionally in the past that I didn’t know were wrong. I’m sure we all have. What’s important is that we recognize it, educate ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and try to be better.
Nobody ever said you should apologize for being white. This whole “white shaming” thing is absolutely ridiculous and not true. People like her are responsible for upholding and perpetrating racism.
I will never apologize for being white and neither should you. There's nothing you need to be sorry for. You're not responsible for what other people did hundreds of years ago.
I am heartbroken and disgusted to see one of my family members a young black man w/his hands up peacefully protesting and an NYPD officer pulls down his mask and pepper sprays him. @NYCSpeakerCoJo @BPEricAdams @FarahNLouis@JumaaneWilliams@NewYorkStateAG @NYPDShea cc: @EOsyd
