Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass, the greatest American ever born. When he self-emancipated, Douglass chose Valentine's Day as his birthday because his mother gave him a heart-shaped cake right before she was sold away. This country has taken so much, and yet we keep giving.

"How bout a drink?!"
In 2018-19, @LMPD Ninth Mobile officers drove around the city—mostly #LouWestEnd—throwing drinks on people.
The @courierjournal's @JWoodJourno obtained videos of the attacks.
This marks the first time the so-called #Slushygate videos have been made public.

Today is North America's first supervised consumption site (Insite) 20 year anniversary event and I am truly grateful and humbled to be the MC. My last overdose was Feb 18th 2013. I laid motionless on the floor of booth 5. When I gained consciousness, the nurse told me how much she cared about me and I just burst into tears 😭 It was a moment of humanity I needed. I told her I didn't want to do this anymore and began to change my life. This facility is so much more than a safe place to use drugs; it provides people with human connection, something we all need in our lives. Today I have over a decade sober, a family and an amazing life and none of this would be possible without this supervised consumption site! I have never forgotten everyone's love and support through both the dark and good times. #harmreduction

On this day in 1966, James Meredith was shot on the second day of his 220-mile "March Against Fear" to encourage Black voter registration and defy white supremacy across the South. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…
