Being alive while Black is exhausting. Take care of yourself and each other.

The Washington NFL team's announcement that it will change its racist name amid growing corporate pressure reflects "how powerful money is in this industry," says activist @blackhorse_a. "Indigenous people have been pushing them for many, many years." bit.ly/3j3EkAI

I’m getting scared that we’re forgetting Breonna Taylor- those cops haven’t even been arrested. Please remember black women. Please let’s keep fighting for her.

No one who’s been arrested this week for protesting in the United States has received the same process as the police officers who murdered someone on video.

The people who can’t distinguish between human life and property need to be displaced from power.

Don't underestimate the value of artists during times of crisis. It's the creatives who make difficult things easier to understand, provide respite from the anxiety & chaos, and offer hope & possibility after recovery. We need imagination & creativity now just as much as ever.

If you’re wondering whether it’s an overreaction to cancel large gatherings and public events (and I love basketball), here’s a useful primer as to why these measures can slow the spread of the virus and save lives. We have to look out for each other. vox.com/2020/3/10/21171481/c…

We were beaten, we were tear-gassed. I thought I was going to die on this bridge. But somehow and some way, God almighty helped me here. We cannot give up now. We cannot give in. We must keep the faith, keep our eyes on the prize.

The Nicholas Brothers' iconic "Jumpin' Jive" dance from STORMY WEATHER ('43) was unrehearsed and filmed in just one take. Fred Astaire called it the greatest movie musical number he had ever seen. #BlackHistoryMonth #LetsMovie

‘Politicians can’t say they love Dr. King and how he stood for love and unity, but then…refuse to support his agenda.’ — This reverend called out his governor for celebrating MLK day, but supporting Trump’s hateful policies on every other day

Remember the authentic, comprehensive King.
Here is some seldom-quoted #MLK, speaking about America’s discrimination against Black people in its land “giving.” Listen for terms like “economic floor” and “bootstraps.”

BREAKING: We're asking the Supreme Court to defend the First Amendment right to protest.
In a petition filed on behalf of @deray, we're urging the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court ruling that, if left standing, would gut civil rights era speech protections.

If we're serious about recognizing women in hip hop, then it has to be proactive: Instead of "well, no women applied", go out & find them. Instead of "she doesn't sell enough tickets", consider the structural reasons why and find a way to put her on stage anyway. #HipHopEd

"Isn't the place where they used to call us slaves? ... When I think about you being sworn in, now I see what I could have been if I had an opportunity."

As I was paying my respects to our forever Chairman, his staff told me that in his final hours he signed subpoenas to USCIS and ICE, pursuing justice for immigrants in my district & across the country with chronic medical conditions. A man of his word every moment of his life.
