Love and Joy are what matters in life... Everything else is insignificant. My purpose is rooted in service to others while being intentional to build community that centers the most marginalized. #EternalOptimist #DreamingOutLoud #Sankofa 🙏🏾✊🏾🌈💜💪🏾♌️

Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.
Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins slams the Trump admin’s NIH cuts as “poorly conceived” and says she has called RFK to “to express my strong opposition to these arbitrary cuts in funding for vital research.” She says he promised to “re-examine this initiative” if confirmed as HHS secretary.

Being black is tiring.
Being Gay is tiring.
Being an adult is tiring.
Living in America is tiring.
Chasing money is tiring.

If you see a black man screaming in the middle of the street in Atlanta it’s just me. Lol

White mediocre men are granted more access to opportunities than any other group.
This indicates our society places a higher value on race than on merit based qualifications. Ironically the bad faith argument they make against DEI is true of them. They’re the unqualified ones.

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, let me be clear: erasing HIV/AIDS content from government websites helps literally no one. It endangers public health and abandons those who rely on these critical resources. Reckless and stupid.
CDC site scrubs HIV content following Trump DEI policies
The federal health agency began removing all content related to gender identity on Friday.
