Breonna Taylor

We urgently need reform. Team, I'm losing count of how many times I've been angry this week. Earlier this afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky, it was announced that only one of the three police officers involved in the shooting and killing of Breonna Taylor will be charged.  And that one office…

Roger Williams is lying to Texas

Roger Williams once again put his political career before Texas

An obscene spectacle

Bullhorn racism
