Justin & family, how terrifying to be woken in the night by gunfire ripping through your home. Solidarity. I also urge the #WilliamsonCountySheriffs office to doggedly pursue their investigation of violent intimidation of a journalist / citizens & their children. #Tennessee

Ela Bhatt was a steadfast advocate for women workers and a leader who showed the world the power of women’s grassroots movements. Her legacy leaves us much to live up to.

The passing of Smt. Elaben Bhatt, founder of @SEWABharat, has struck us with deep sadness. She has left the legacy of a lifetime dedicated to building a more equal and just society. Through our continued work with SEWA, we will take Elaben's legacy forward. #ElaBhatt #RIP

This is the deep anger and despair so many of us are feeling by the shameless Republican scapegoating of the LGBTQ+ community. If you are feeling this way as well, I hope you make sure to vote. There is an ugly wave of intolerance rising in this country that must be stopped.

We have shared our story so openly, to raise awareness, reduce stigma, to help people identify, and make sure we all know we face mental illness together. What more do folks want us to give of our grief? (3/3)

We need better law enforcement procedures and laws that would allow suffering families and their deceased loved one more dignity around agonizingly intimate details of their suffering. Autopsies are public record. So are toxicology reports. (2/3)

I am shocked and saddened along with the rest of our country music community over the passing of Naomi Judd. I'll never forget meeting her for the first time when she was a contestant on a TV game show I was hosting. I asked her to identify herself for the audience...

Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness. We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory.

IT’S CONFIRMED: Ketanji Brown Jackson will serve on the Supreme Court. She'll be the first Black woman to sit on the Court in its 233 year history, as well as one of the most experienced justices in recent memory. We’re thrilled to witness such a historic moment for our country.

The #EqualityModel is a five-pronged legal approach that holistically addresses prostitution. This is a bill that is currently being moved through the state of New York and is an approach that is comprehensive, trauma-informed, and focuses on community education to create change.

Black History is NOT a month. Black History IS the foundation and fabric of America and it is EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Black History, excellence and culture, are American history. #BHM
