“All of what we saw at the U.S. Capitol is part of America. But what’s also part of America is denying all of what is part of America. Actually, this denial is the essential part of America. Denial is the heartbeat of America.” My latest @TheAtlantic. https://t.co/7y7WaA1Ubw

If you uttered the phrase “this is not who we are” in the last 24hrs or agreed with someone who did, I implore you to listen to @SceneOnRadio season 4. Yesterday is more evidence of who we’ve been all along. So many have been telling us. “The land that never has been yet” indeed

#BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says her cancer has returned and that chemotherapy is yielding positive results. "I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that," she said.

Three months have passed and Breonna Taylor's killers have been neither charged nor arrested. One of her killers has also been accused of sexual assault by two women. Our leaders need to stop being afraid of police & hold them accountable. https://t.co/Dnami0AWOC

The women were at first afraid to come forward with their allegations. Then they saw Brett Hankison’s face on the news.

Today, #BreonnaTaylor should be celebrating her 27th birthday. She would be celebrating if not for the Louisville police officers who stormed into her home and murdered her. We lift up Breonna's story and celebrate her life. #SayHerName
