Racism will lead you to fill the swimming pool with concrete rather than share it with the people you hate.
Better to bake in the heat than see "those" people get some relief.

😔💔. And his murder by an enabled racist led to my son’s murder 💔😔. #HateKills #TheSumofUs #TrumpDestroysEverything #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19 #ChildLoss
Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

The killing of our black community by leos leads to the hatred that got my son killed 3 weeks after George Floyd 💔💔. We are all in this together. United we can stand. Divided we die #SethSmithdidntdeservetodieat19 #HateKills #TheSumOfUs
Tim Walz declared a national emergency five years ago today as Minnesota became the epicenter of the anger and frustration felt upon death of George Floyd at the hands of police three days earlier. That’s all I wanted to say, and will leave it to you to remember how it made you feel.

Trump Administration Plans to Upend Head Start by Deregulating It
The White House tried but failed to block funding for preschool for poor children. Instead, it will seek to strip away standards on health, literacy — and brushing teeth.
