A photo of you from early 2020 not knowing what was about to come.
March 8, 2020. Margs at the Ritz at Beaver Creek. Ski resorts were closed a week later in the middle of peak spring season.

Yo. What’s wild. Coworker snitched on him from a Facebook video. I need to know where was the interview? What was the post? Moral of the story. No coworkers on Facebook
Please don’t erase black women with say his name.

was created to raise up black women who were victims of police violence that were left out of the conversation if police brutality

As a former trombone player, im wowed. He really did that solo like he was playing a trumpet. Never heard the trombone sound like that before. Just sick.
MARCH FOR BABIES is personal in 2021. Because of programs such as this my niece was able to come home after 16 months in NICU. Donate to help other mothers and babies.
Morning Hike to celebrate 2nd anniversary of Black Men Hike LA. At the end of the hike,

Y’all think we’re gonna return to pre-2020 bliss next year? Cuz this year made it clear that 2020 Won. And I fear that next year finna be 2020 Two: The Sequel.

The YouTube rabbit hole is real. I recall watching one fitness/cross fit video next thing I know I’m getting blue lives matter and Donald trump ads. Then recommended videos that are pure copaganda
@nycsouthpaw
They could have drafted a declaration and sent it to the committee. It would have been signed under penalty of perjury. But they didnt do it cuz they know its a suicide mission to testify on behalf of trump because there were other people that saw it too and probably testified

My heart hurts whenever I see this picture because I was juiced to visit black Wall Street in 2006 and I was like wtf is this. I said why is there real memorial about our community. I was just sad af
obama actively courted a lot of racially resentful and conservative voters.
right before the 08 election, he made a huge deal of colin powell’s endorsement, despite powell helping push America into the iraq war.
whatever obama was, he wasn’t a practitioner of purity politics.
Apparently in LA county, black and brown 20 year olds are not vaccinated and make up a large portion of Covid19 hospitalizations. n this age group only 30 percent of blacks are vaccinated . Just wow
Y’all I did it . Hosted thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Mom, I never understood the hurdles one makes to make Christmas cheer Happen until last night. I stayed up late to deliver gifts to my godson n nephews. I felt your spirit.
@eclecticbrotha
Cruz is hilarious. Newsom's California is performing well with this energy crisis. In Cruz's Texas, the entire state lost power and they have did nothing to prevent it from happening again.
Gave some platelets today at the

. It will go to my dad or some other person that is fighting cancer. Today’s donation was my way to visit my dad as he fights for his life in ICU. I couldn’t see him, but I was on there.
As University of California graduate in Post-No Affirmative Action era, I want you to be the first to know--the same ones that thought you were unqualified and got in for your race; still believe you got into the school because of your race.
Years from now, black students admitted to top schools will say Thank you Supreme Court for a decision that removes the perception the only reason I got in is due to my race. You re-established merit as the core criteria to be considered against a standard bar of excellence.

2 election cycles w/ “black men feel left out” mantra. I’ve heard it from my friends and I just listen and I feel like it’s more projection than reality. We got a whole ass white supremacist running for re-election &they need a reason to be outreached to. More ESPN ads?
As we discuss People v. Tory Lanes: just a friendly reminder. Opening statements are not evidence. Statements by Attorneys are not evidence. Defense counsel better follow rule 1 of trial: dont mention evidence you are not certain the jury will hear. Jurors dont like to be misled
@BreeNewsome
I specifically recall that ignorance of the law is not a defense in a federal criminal law. In fact, I think there is a good model jury instruction on this issue. Brb
Yep. gay rights fall immediately after this decision. Assume affirmative action is definitely gone. The harder cases will be race and sex discrimination protections.
Alito's decision says Roe v Wade shouldn't stick around because it's "not deeply rooted in history".
Given the timeline of events in the United States, everyone who isn't a straight white male should be terrified about what comes next.
See heres’s the thing, once you add dc, the senate math changes. Especially if we get Puerto Rico too. Not gonna be a senate that is heavily centered on conservative learning states. So this isn’t a likely reality
This weekend, my line brother’s nephew joined Alpha Phi Alpha. His nephew was born when we were online and my 4 got the night off. Now, 21 years later, he’s frat. Crazy to think, Mama Turner saw her son and first grandson probate.
Voted for my link, line brother, line president, law school classmate, godson's dad and friend today, George Turner Jr. for LA County Superior Court Judge, Seat 39. Wild 20 plus years of brotherhood since we met at our "interview."
@notcapnamerica
No. I would be proud of our relationship that he felt comfortable to tell me. I have friends that told me they struggled with telling their dads this.
Typically don’t talk about life on here. But I figured today is the time I share. When I moved back to LA, life was in shambles. Lost a job and girl and was searching for direction. And it’s not been a easy climb over the last 5 years but this birthday it’s different
While the world is on fire, we have one of the first LASD deputy gang civil right trial going on LA this week. Big deal. Last trial involved employment dispute with the gang. So this case will be a bell-weather on how lawyers will continue to litigate deputy gang cases
ANTHONY VARGAS TRIAL THREAD:
Today marks day 3 of the civil trial for the family of Anthony Vargas vs the county of LA, LASD, Deputies Nikolis Perez & Jonathon Rojas.
COPS PLANTED A GUN ON ANTHONY! THE DEPUTIES WERE CHASING GANG INITIATION!
