It's crazy that the amount of money spent during election cycles could literally fix most of the fucking problems politicians campaign on.

"Can I say one thing? RIP Stacey King who we lost recently. A person I knew when I was in high school here. He supported our team…his kids went to Stevenson. Just to see him not here today…My thoughts & prayers are with him & his family. We miss him" – Jalen Brunson in Chicago

This is so beautiful
"I know exactly who he was, I know what his gift could do, and I know that we were all just a little happier, a little better off, for getting to hear the song...for as long as we did." @adamamin gives a touching tribute to his late partner, Stacey King ❤️

After weeks of rioting in Paris no one was killed. Which technically means your child is safer attending a riot in Paris than a school in America.

Many tribes called this land home, before it was known as Illinois. On Indigenous People’s Day, we honor that history and look forward to a future together, built on truth, respect, and partnership.

Sixty-three years ago today, hundreds of Black residents in Selma, Alabama, lined up to register to vote on Freedom Day. They faced intimidation and deliberate delays. Supporters who tried to bring them food and water were beaten by law enforcement. We honor their courage by exercising our right to vote and defending equal access to the ballot. Make your plan to vote. Let’s continue the work to strengthen the Voting Rights Act and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot without discrimination, fear or intimidation. whenweallvote.org/ #FreedomDay #Selma #Vote #CivilRights #VotingRights
