So simple. So true.
If we ask you to stay home we should also send you money so you can can do so.

Let the wild rumpus start!
After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.
More of this
A very, very rare Trump administration profile in courage. If a president has just done something that is very bad, that is something worth quitting over, not only do you quit, but you say why it is that you are quitting, and you let people know. This is the way that you do it.

When I was buying my house, it blew my mind when my lender asked if my family couldn’t just gift me the down payment money, saying that gifts/loans of $50k to $100k weren’t uncommon from families of first-time homebuyers. That’s the 400-year head start we don’t have.

If you haven't read this thread yet in its entirety, pls do so NOW. It was hard to pick a "entry point" tweet but this one stuck w/me. A law was passed but the culture reinforced the now illegal action, & you better not blame Black people for keeping themselves safe. @SPARCChub
Replying to @michaelharriot
Two days after the boycott ended, a white supremacist fired a shotgun at MLK. The next day, on Christmas Eve, a black girl was attacked for riding a bus. 4 days after that, racists attacked 2 buses and shot a pregnant woman. 2 weeks later, the Klan started bombing black churches.

It’s bigger than a few bad apples. It’s the whole damn orchard. #TakeAKnee
If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re “more devoted to order than to justice.” And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live.
