26 million people had to pour into the streets for one cop to get 20 years in prison. He will likely go for 15. Whether you think that’s too long or too short, ask whether the demand for “justice” in this horrible system is sustainable. It’s not love

My heart is also with Breonna Taylor’s family, Trayvon Martin’s, & so many others whose loved ones were murdered without any accountability. What a difference it makes to have a visionary leader like Attorney General Keith Ellison prosecute the case for the value of Black life.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: "This has to end. We need true justice. That's not one case. That is a social transformation that says that nobody's beneath the law and nobody's above it. This verdict reminds us that we must make enduring, systematic, societal change."

If y'all think I'm playing w/this election, you are nuts. The hell with your Black purity tests. The hell with the progressive purity tests. Trump-Pence has shown their evil ways. I'm fighting them putting on more right wing federal judges. I'm fighting for my nieces & nephews!

Hard-fought wins are more fulfilling than easy wins. Appreciate others when you feel under-appreciated. Serve when disappointed. Forgive when offended. Care when others don’t care. Some leadership behaviors are their own reward. #leadership #LFreakquote

One hour project for critics: Determine to spend one hour a day only using language that builds up people and teams. No criticism allowed for one hour. If you’re brave, try it for a morning. Don’t hide in your office for your one hour project. #leadership #LFreakquote

Live a little more in the present. Hang on to your big dream with your heart, but keep your feet and hands busy in the present. Focus a little more on the process and a little less on the goal. Unfulfilled dreams suck the life out of you if you can’t see a path forward.

Average cost of a year of college: $50,000 Median family income: $61,000 We let middle-class parents drown in debt trying to ensure a middle-class future for their kids. That is obscene. We must cancel student debt and make public colleges tuition-free. nytimes.com/2019/08/30/opini…

The Amazon is burning at the fastest rate in years. It’s no accident. Deforestation and extractive industries are destroying biodiversity, and our planet’s best carbon sink. We need bold action to combat these horrific fires and protect the Amazon.

Student debt disproportionately impacts African Americans and Latinos. 12 years after starting college, the median Black borrower owes more than he or she has taken out in the first place. Canceling student debt is an act of racial and economic justice. markets.businessinsider.com/…

I am going to make a prediction. The major opponents of our legislation to cancel $1.6 trillion in student debt—mark my words—will be the exact same people who said we had to bail out Wall Street to the tune of billions upon billions of dollars. cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sand…

Wall Street speculators nearly destroyed the economy a decade ago, and the American people bailed them out. Now it's time for Wall Street to come to the aid of the middle class of this country. We are going to #CancelStudentDebt and pay for it with a tax on Wall Street.
