- I want gun control. I want Puerto Rico to have what it needs. I want children to have health insurance. I want something better than this.
- I keep thinking about my 3-year-old in his Black Panther costume. How he wore it almost every day when he got it, refused to take it off. The way he walked around saying “I’m the Black Panther.” How happy it made him. What Chadwick gave us was immeasurable. What an enormous loss.
- These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
- Beyoncé had Coachella renamed after her, Kendrick Lamar won a Pulitzer Prize, & Black Panther has made more money than Titanic. Black history month is every month, every day, every year, all the time.
- racism is so wild man you got a black man who becomes president & some of these white evangelicals spend eight years calling him the literal reincarnation of the devil meanwhile trump is doing somersaults through moral scandals & they change it up to say “no one is perfect”
- MEGAN RAPINOE HAS THE ENTIRE MAGA WORLD AFTER HER AND WAS LIKE I DONT CARE ALL OF YALL ARE WACK LEMME GIVE YOU BOTH THIS SAUCE AND THIS POLITICALLY COURAGEOUS COMMENTARY
- Just so we’re clear: Mike Pence tweeted a 3yr old photo & showed up to an NFL game knowing he’d leave to make his base angry at blck players
- I always tell ppl that many of the white folks who were spitting on, beating up, & lynching black ppl are still alive & they're still votingRuby Bridges, the first black child to attend an all-white public elementary in the South, was born on this date. She's 63.
- Just so we’re 100% clear: the senate race in Alabama is between a man who prosecuted members of KKK & a pedophile. This shouldn’t be hard, yet here we are.
- I'm thinking of all the ppl who knew Breonna Taylor before she became hashtag. The people who raised her, the people who held her, the people who laughed with her, the people who cried with her, the people who dreamed with her. They didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve this.
- jeff sessions is the only confederate monument trump was willing to take down
- I don't ever want to hear "Black people will wait in line for Nikes but won't wait in line to vote" ever again. It's a racist trope. It wasn't true then, it isn't true now.
- Juneteenth should be a national holiday. And that has been true every year since 1865.
