Sarah goes right at Talarico on the infallibility of the Bible viz his personal theology ("God is nonbinary"). Talarico gives her the definitive answer she sought, before going back to his position. Talarico gives half an answer on whether "Jesus is the only Savior", leaving out "and no man comes unto the Father except through Him" (John 14:6)
My pleasure welcoming you Maestro @khconductor as prepare to open your final season with the Savannah Philharmonic. ~Best

One of the most beautiful voices in jazz has been silenced. I have known Cassandra Wilson for over 40 years from her early days in New Orleans before we both journeyed to NY. A innovative and creative woman with great musical power. A heartbreaking loss.
Very saddened by the news that Cassandra Wilson has passed away. One of the most distinctive voices in modern jazz, Cassandra wove an alluring tapestry of jazz, blues, folk & R&B into a singular sound that opened up new avenues of expression for vocal jazz bluenote.lnk.to/CassandraWil…

I shared my thoughts @cspanwj on #SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas who replaced the late Justice Thurgood Marshall in 1991. He has consistently voted against the interests of black citizens. And today's #VotingRightsAct gutting is no exception. Ironic for a man who is black and has enjoyed the very freedoms he seems to abhor for others. #RedefiningFreedom

My wife is traveling with a layover in Nashville and saw this ad from @MeharryMedical . I AM HERE FOR THIS! If you are going to do an airport ad, really any ad, if it isn’t something people will share and talk about, you’ve wasted your money. This is how you do an ad.

A Black child reported to her mother she was hit with a shoe at Destiny Development Center in Inglewood, California. The employee has been terminated but other staff lied in reports saying the child was crying because she fell off her cot.

On February 1, 1960, 66 years ago today, 4 Black college students sat at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth’s in Greensboro, NC.
In doing so, they inspired thousands to stand up and march for equality and justice.
Remembering the Greensboro Four today on the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth.

BREAKING: ICE threw tear Gas into a Minneapolis vehicle with an African-American family and a six month old baby inside. The baby stopped breathing.
Anybody who stands for this crap needs to re-examine their patriotism.
Please don’t give these horrible people a reason to escalate even further. That is what they want.

The fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent is both heartbreaking and unacceptable. A system that deploys overwhelming force in our communities erodes trust, deepens fear, and diminishes our shared humanity. Kingian Nonviolence teaches us that every life has dignity and that justice is love correcting everything that stands against love. This callous taking of a life under the banner of “law and order” stands against love. We must demand transparency, full accountability, and a transformation of any policies that treat some lives as expendable.

Speak their names today.
#OTD 62 years ago, the 16th Street Baptist Church (Birmingham) bombing shook this nation.
The deaths of #FourLittleGirls, killed by the bombing at the hands of vicious white supremacists, further fueled the Civil Rights Movement.
In his eulogy for the girls, my father spoke of the need for concern about “the systems, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers.” That concern, translated into compassionate, strategic work, is still necessary.
