The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.

Some will talk to you and text you in their free time. Others will free up their time just to talk to you. You deserve the latter.

We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...

Every Black woman that I know can relate to this across multiple disciplines. Many of these companies don't want actual diversity but only the appearance of wanting diversity.

I was obsessed with Jeopardy as a nerdy kid growing up in Ohio. I’ve loved and revered Alex Trebek since I can remember. What an iconic career. RIP Alex Trebek.

The same people who said "It can't happen here" and then "No one could have seen it coming" will now say "It wasn't really that bad." It was. Do not let anyone rewrite the history of the Trump admin years. History must be remembered to ensure it does not repeat.

We should not be on the edge of our seats – this should not be so close. Our thanks to the teachers who teach outside the textbook, raising a generation of young people who think critically & are committed to anti-racist social and economic justice. Our future depends on it.

Thank you, @BLoveSoulPower for *that* word.

Young, questioning, or scared LGBTQ+ people. You are valid. You are beautiful. You are necessary. You are infinitely more than their hate. They will try to take away your rights. Your power. Your pride. But they will fail. Because we see you. We accept you. We will fight for you.
