More than 80 years ago, white residents built a wall to keep Black students out of their neighborhood and shopping center. Times changed, but not the wall. Until today. trib.al/yCFqkV0

Hard to believe but @HerschelWalker’s hypocrisy exceeds his hubris in seeking a U.S. Senate seat for which he is unqualified. @fairfightaction @ajc ⁦@ADWNews⁩ facebook.com/1388194399/post…

Focus on @MorganStateU Scholars — Who knew that we had in our midst so many bonafide superstars, as recognized by leading bodies in their fields? Day 2 #MSUFFI22: share.icloud.com/photos/06cu… @MorganStateU @morganpres @BMorePRGuy
Dr. Ruth Sheffey came to @MorganStateU @ age 15 & later taught 60+ yrs. To faculty: “We’ve always been, not only hardworking and talented here but loving to each other. It’s been a family.” Word: Don’t give up on any student. ⁦#MSUFFI22 @BMorePRGuy⁩ @themsuspokesman 💙🧡

If I spent a week attempting to construct a more carping, swinish and relentlessly petty remark, polishing it incessantly until all its spittle-flecked stupidity glistened shamelessly in full view of humanity, I could not ever hope to achieve this:
I understand times are hard, but doesn't the President of the #Ukraine own a suit? I don't have much respect for current members of the U.S. Congress either, but I still wouldn't address them wearing a t-shirt. I wouldn't want to disrespect the institution or the Unites States.

The mounting list of unjustified deaths since Ahmaud Arbery’s leaves little time to savor today’s verdict. The vigilance & the struggle continue.
Mexican reporter Lourdes Maldonado López was assassinated in the border city of Tijuana on Sunday. She's the third journalist to be killed in Mexico this month.
