Here's what Dwyane Wade said on Headliners when I asked him about anti-LGBTQ laws in Florida: "That's another reason why I don't live in that state. A lot of people don't know that...my family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there."

When I was a child, #HarryBelafonte showed up for my family in very compassionate ways.
In fact, he paid for the babysitter for me and my siblings.
Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral service for my father at Morehouse College.
I won’t forget…Rest well, sir.

Thank you , the cast & the crew for making this season of #StarTrekPicard my absolute favorite!!! The writing was incredible & I loved the Trekkie humor throughout each episode. “And I will make it a threesome. Do you even hear yourself?” 😂🤣

WAKE UP! About that “woke” lie that the kind of people who use “woke” as a slur always say? Yeah, it’s as real as their belief in law & order, justice, or spelling “their” correctly. The truth? Equality & diversity are pathways to success in business.

Pearson: You cannot ignore the racial dynamic of what happened today, two young black lawmakers getting expelled and the one white woman does not. That is a statement in and of itself

I covered many women's basketball title games.
This is the worst officiated women's title game I've seen. Not hyperbole. The worst.

Playing chess with my 10 year old nephew and he’s left me with 3 pawns and my king… not looking good for me to win. He still has his queen and a bishop. I’m trying for a stalemate, but it’ll be tough.

RuPaul speaks out against GOP laws targeting trans folk and drag artists in the United States:
“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique, distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on,”

I am curious , what kind of accountability takes place with the refs who get a play like this wrong? Is there a fine, a suspension, or is it simply a conversation amongst yourselves and then release the after game report?

California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.
Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.

While the Republican-controlled House is in absolute disarray, the 51 Democrat-controlled Senate has sworn in every Senator & is already working for the American people. That's the difference between Democrats & Republicans. Democrats know how to govern. Republicans don't.
