A mental health episode should not be a death sentence. Walter Wallace Jr. should be alive today. For him, his mother and his loved ones, we must dismantle systems that criminalize Black mental illness and respond to mental health episodes with a violent police force.

If we thought the problem and the solution to the tragedy of Breonna Taylor was simply prosecuting these cops, then we’re not understanding the broader systemic conditions that allow for the kind of policing that disproportionately imperils Black Americans...

The same senators who worked overtime to secure a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for corporations and the super-rich are leaving town for nearly a month as 40,000,000 Americans are one rent check away from eviction.

I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.

The next time you hear Trump and McConnell claim we can’t afford to bail out the American people remember that the first coronavirus stimulus included bailouts for hedge funds and private jet companies.
It’s not about the price tag. It’s about priorities.

Thanks to @TeraWHunter for laying out the history and importance of Juneteenth.
This year's #Juneteenth commemoration is especially poignant as we're in the midst of an unprecedented multi-racial, multi-generation social justice movement. essence.com/feature/juneteen…

Wonderful to see that Supreme Court #DACADecision gives Dreamers some breathing room.
18 Jun 2020
It’s great news that the Supreme Court has blocked the Administration’s attempt to end #DACA. And yet we must continue to fight for Dreamers' right to be part of the communities they call home.
