Love this! Happy #BHM. RESIST.
We are griots,
mouths full of memory,
tongues dipped in resistance,
passing down the unscripted truths.
When they come for the books,
we will be the pages.
when they come for the land,
we will be the roots.
when they come for the voices,
we will be the song—
And that?
that is how we win. #BHM ✊🏾

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.
