PBS gave us Mister Rogers and Officer Clemmons in the 1960’s.
PBS showed the world what love & equality looks like, during a time when people were actually dumping acid into pools where Black kids were swimming...

I'm surprised it took her this long to do that. She has the patience of a saint. Because those people have been ridiculous since last year.

I need to pray more for a healthy love like Alexis's for Serena. It's beautiful to witness him standing on business and protecting her. #love #protector 🫶🏿

The way this man is always 10 toes down for Serena ✊🏾 also, the way SAS stammered through his response😄 Just another bully who can't say it to their face.

I do appreciate Drake for giving us something to smile and laugh about in these trying times.

The judge listened to all of the songs in the beef and not only said he lost, but that he can't sue over how he lost 🤣

Law professors are going to have fun with this one in the future🤗

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

We love to see it: "According to Cummings’ order, the 22 people subject to illegal warrantless arrests have since been released on bond and are no longer in the custody of ICE. But Cummings ordered ICE to reimburse all bond payments and lift any imposed conditions of release."
