Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

🙏🏾 Praying for Joe Biden, his family, his friends, and all those affected by cancer.

🙏🏾 Team Joe

Line dances & trail rides, Sinners, A'ja's Nike commercial, the #MetGala theme... These are all forms of resistance in their own ways. And no, this is not me doing internet academic hyperbolic speak. Centering Black identity and Black experience - and VALIDATING it - is political.

The A'Ja Wilson Nike commercial is just a straight up love letter to Black girls. It legit almost made me cry the first time I watched it.

42 YEARS AGO TODAY on April 30, 1983, "Beat It" by Michael Jackson reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Trump administration has dismissed all voting rights cases and all senior staff in the voting rights section of the Justice Department, leaving no one to enforce the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 100 years for Black people to get the right to vote 100 years to guarantee that right 100 days...
