Shots are never fun, but the kids I met at Kimball Elementary knew how important the COVID-19 vaccines are to keep our families and communities safe.

That's a word. But it's part of the narrative that poor Southerners are to blame for everything so we can pretend that's the only place racists live and not really evaluate the larger national problem.

One turned up in a $1,300 Burberry jacket and others travelled there in a private jet. The white privilege excuses are going to be EPIC!

When Black and PoC told White folx to talk to their racist relatives during the holidays past four years, they were all like "we don't wanna ruin the mood" over their dry ass unseasoned turkey. And now it's all "let's reach out to them in love." Bye.

...I don't care how progressive you are as a White adult, or that you voted for Obama twice - if you stayed silent around friends and family racist rantings and beliefs YOU ARE COMPLICIT. PERIOD.

Black people have been under the boot of racism, white supremacy, economic anxiety, inequality and so much else. Despite it all, we somehow didn’t vote for a racist and didn’t storm not nary a U.S. capitol. But sure, let’s keep centering everything around aggrieved white people.

Baby you did what needed to be done. You are the backbone of this country

Wind blowing but not a hair out of place

Somebody said you are the backbone of this country and I fully agree 😭

Interconnectedness

With so much going on, Dr. King’s leadership is as steadying a force as it’s ever been. I’ve been reflecting a lot on his example, and how it might help us move forward after these last four years. #MLKDay pic.twitter.com/oGCF2wbT18

To my colleagues who won't go through the metal detectors:

Have you ever had a job before? If you work at McDonald’s and you don’t wear the uniform, you don’t work that day.

If you won’t abide by the rules of this job, go find another one 👋🏾 https://t.co/rPO2xek1iB
