Black people have sacrificed as much as anyone when it comes to protecting American democracy.
Often, they were fighting for the basic rights of others that they were deprived of, themselves. #MemorialDayWeekend #AndTheKnow

If Black People die at YOUNGER ages and HIGHER rates for Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancers, Lung Cancers, Prostate cancers, etc. Then why are we NOT granted screenings at younger ages?! Don’t group us with the screening age of White Americans IF WE DO NOT DIE AT THAT AGE. 🧵

Why is this important? What the media treats as urgent helps to determine what the public thinks is urgent. It shapes what (and who) we are afraid of.

Just because I don’t harp on racism doesn’t mean I’m blind to it. My position is simple, the world owes me nothing. It’s my task to succeed in spite of the challenges I face. That’s doesn’t mean I’m blind to anything. It just mean I’m not going to let it stop me.

"Disinformation isn’t just a political weapon. It’s a powerful multi-billion dollar industry with its tentacles in everything…consumerism, politics, ideology, culture. It has the power to keep us divided…and ultimately destroy us."

77% of Black Americans say voting is a right for every U.S. citizen and should not be restricted, as do 63% of Hispanic Americans and 66% of Asian Americans. White Americans are divided: 51% say voting is a right, while 48% say it is a privilege. pewrsr.ch/2W1tDaQ

Happy 4th! We’ve seen a lot of terrible images the past few yrs, so I wanted to share this one. It’s my parents in 1969. Korean immigrants. Raised two lawyers. THIS is and always will be what America represents to me, and I’ll keep fighting to protect the America I know and love.

We need to quit conceding that CRT is being taught in public schools.
Conservatives do this thing where they redefine words and then people use those definitions as if they are accurate.
We gotta stop doing that.
If your kid is learning CRT, your kid is in law/grad school. – at Boulder, CO

"The best friend of a nation is he who most faithfully rebukes her for her sins—and he her worst enemy who, under the specious… garb of patriotism seeks to excuse, palliate or defend them."

The sooner you realize nobody owes you anything, you only can eat what you kill, and you take accountability for every decision you make - the sooner you'll appreciate life.

The sun-like star Gliese 570, of spectral classification K5V, is in a triple star system 19 light years away.
Right about now, aliens on any planets in that star system are receiving the TV signals, just arriving, of Tom Brady winning his first Super Bowl in 2002, 19 years ago.
