At 27, Wil Smith enrolled as a college freshman with his infant daughter, Olivia, in tow. He balanced his studies, a night job, and basketball — all while raising his daughter.

"But you can't defund the police," say the people who have:
Defunded our schools
Defunded state and national parks.
Defunded environmental protections.
Defunded Medicare.
Defunded food safety.
Defunded the postal service.
Defunded the sciences.
Defunded the arts.

To stand in solidarity, @GirmayZahilay @votenicolemacri @meetjoenguyen & I are here with the thousands of #BlackLivesMattters protesters. On the front lines. Everyone is peaceful, not pushing, kind, & chanting “I don’t see no riot here, take off your riot gear.”
