Met Rep. Lewis at DC 12-17. Delightful! He commented on NMAAHC shirt my husband wore saying "You know I helped make that!" He was proud of the museum, we were grateful to have met him! @DerrickNAACP @nhannahjones @TananariveDue @GirlTrek @HawaiiDelilah @SmithsonianSec @DrPhilGoff

Laz Alonso argues that many of the rights immigrants enjoy today were secured through the sacrifices of Black Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. Now he’s asking why that history isn’t part of the citizenship test. Read more #OnTheGrio: ow.ly/hoWx50ZcvL7

🇫🇷🎻🏰 INSOLITE | Ce groupe normand de musique médiévale reprend « Beat It » de Michael Jackson avec des instruments d’époque. Le résultat est bluffant : on a l’impression d’entendre un tube joué dans une taverne du XIVe siècle. 😂 (Insta : @coursevalbardcore)

A white teenager is accused of spray-painting racist slurs and Nazi symbols on a Black family’s home in East Baton Rouge Parish. According to attorney @ryankeiththompson, this family endured months of harassment before this incident. Now, an elderly Black woman says she is afraid to return to her home. If Louisiana is serious about being tough on crime, acts of racial terror and intimidation must be treated as seriously as any other crime. No family should have to live in fear because of hate. Share if you care. 🦾

One thing, they should be doing this at dusk because hydrogen breaks down in sunlight. Another thing is, they're using 12% hydrogen peroxide. They'll need 4,558 gallons to shock the algae into dying. They're going to go through 4,558 bottles of this, & it still won't work. 🌞👈

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.

A man dressed in all black scaled the Department of Justice building and tore down the Banner of Trump. How do you feel about this?

I’m going to keep posting facts about Juneteenth every time I see misinformation about it, because these Pan-Africanists and tethers are having a hard time coping with the truth

Do I have faith that Trump’s former personal lawyer will work in the best interest of the American people? Hell no. We need an Attorney General who will put We the People first, not focus on bending the knee to Trump. I’m a NO on Todd Blanche.

Police have in custody the suspect who burned a cross in Chicago. The subject has identified himself as a UIC senior named Merlin Lu This is anti Black hate and needs to be taken seriously! He shouldn’t be charged with anything less than a hate crime

The black boys did not break the law. They can sit in the park But Do you see the white kids playing in the park? The white police felt uncomfortable with black children being around white kids. Jim Crow 2.0

How do you know this administration is racist? Every single time someone ask them about the quality of life for Black Americans they bring up CRIME STATISTICS (or WAREHOUSE JOBS) as a MEASURE of BLACK SUCCESS in the United States. That's all we are to them.
JD VANCE: You say we're anti-minority or anti-Black-- WHOOPI GOLDBERG: No, I didn't say that. I asked -- see? Don't start any stuff with me.

A Coalition of 44 Countries have signed on to a resolution requesting that the United States attack them also. Because they could use the money.

A 90-minute visit to wounded service members at Walter Reed became 4-5 hours. Michelle Obama stayed because she wanted every family to feel seen. That is the kind of First Lady she was.

With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.
