My favorite @cornellbelcher line is “I’m sorry. The job is to be the Vice President!” Please listen!
The media coverage of VP Harris is a case study in implicit gender bias from both the left and right.

I'm gonna say a Black Pride Thing and, customarily, that will make some non-Black folks get in their feelings, so: Trigger Warning. But... look at us. We can go from the depths of oppression to the heights of power in *a single* generation. We some folks, y'all.

Please stop whatever you are doing to listen to (and share) this historic moment. The words of Judge Jackson resonate in defiance of cynicism, they grow from the deep roots of pain and struggle, and they usher forth a vision of hope in a better and more just America.
"My family went from segregation to the Supreme Court in one generation," Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson says at the White House. "I am the dream and hope of the slave," she adds, quoting Maya Angelou.

Retweet this. Liberally.

This is “the look” developed after a lifetime of being a woman of color having to put-up with absurdities, mansplaining, micro and big aggressions and all sorts of bullshit.

Must watch! This moment was impactful for #ketanjibrownjackson and those in the room and those watching.
Sen. @CoryBooker to Judge Jackson: "I'm not letting anybody in the Senate steal my joy...Don't worry, my sister. Don't worry. God has got you. How do I know that? Because you're here and I know what it's taken for you to sit in that seat."

KBJ tells a story of her first year at Harvard. She felt out of place. One day, a Black woman she didn't know walked by her on campus & could tell she was distressed. She told KBJ to "persevere." KBJ says that's now her advice for young people. Persevere.

Maybe that person wasn’t meant to be in your life forever because the lessons they taught you were meant to be with you instead.

Judge Jackson introducing her understandably emotional husband while one of their daughters looks on with pride was a cool moment

Condoleeza Rice just STUNNED Fox News by saying that President Biden has managed to unite NATO in ways she didn't think were possible after the Cold War. Take THAT Fox News!

I’ve had to fight my entire career … and my hope is that the fight for the Zendayas, the KeKe Palmers, the Tessa Thompsons, the Marsai Martins will be indelibly easier.
