Today I am praying for my hometown Memphis as we all prepare for the release of the Tyre Nichols video. I am especially praying for Tyre’s mother. May she be wrapped in God’s healing love.

It's been a long time since I have screamed while reading a novel. But chapter 20 gutted me. And it's too late for me to drink a Coca-Cola to calm my nerves. @Dolen I am a wreck. I am going to keep reading... tomorrow. Whew, chile!

Who has a teenager voting for the first time? How politically activated are they? My teenager hasn’t reached the legal age yet, but she and her cohort are coming up and they’re fierce.

I have a question. If you did not vote early, what TIME will you vote tomorrow? Have you scheduled it?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but it’s always better to tell the truth. Live in your truth and you will be so much happier.

Y’all see this?
After ignoring years of explicit political activity by 1000s of white preachers pushing @GOP candidates across the USA, @nytimes now mysteriously questions legality of "Black pastors" expressing doubts about morality of @HerschelWalker. Astonishing.
