    Oh. My. Freakin. God. Thanks goes to the Board of Governors and of course to Black Jesus. To all the kids out there with a vision of a Skype room that does not include cacti or pineapples – just do you. Dreams do come true.

    Of course grateful for the 9. Thanks to God and the Academy, etc. Still the lawyer in me is considering an appeal. I thought for sure this was a 10. And please no comments about how I need a perfectly placed pineapple. Not going there.

    Yo @TuckerCarlson I'm a Black MSNBC commentator and I agree with @Joyannreid and @DrJasonJohnson that @DanielCameronAG sold out for his own political benefit. I'm hurt you left me out of your hissy fit! mediaite.com/a/qyapj via @Mediaite

    One lasting impression from this election: it’s essential that Congress pass a new Voting Rights Act to avoid voter suppression in future elections. Our civil rights are on the ballot in Georgia. Remind your friends who live there to have a plan to vote in the Senate runoff.

    What a relief. I was worried the pineapples might be interpreted as pandering to @ratemyskyperoom but now I’m all @sally_field at the Oscars: You like me, you really really like me. I actually bought those bad boys to eat but feel bad now that they’re famous.

    I feel sorry for my former colleagues at the Justice Department. William Barr is a sorry excuse for an Attorney General.
