A 102-year-old woman is being evicted from her longtime residence in Ladera Heights so the landlord's daughter can move in instead, according to an eviction notice the woman received.
My heart goes out to all the businesses and families impacted by the fires in
#Hargeisa
, it’s time like these the diaspora needs to help our beautiful Hargeisa rebuild! Please share any fundraiser for our people!!!
I’m at the bank and the man in front of me was trying to cancel his card because of fraud..but his kid just confessed he’s been secretly buying games this whole time 💀

@AOC
asked CEO of
@WellsFargo
why the company was financing the 'caging of children' referring to the bank financing private prisons like CoreCivic used by ICE for detention.

Waking up earlier than you have to so you can enjoy coffee and breakfast is top tier. I used to always run out of the house then one day I realized I don’t have to live like that.
My poor mother just fell asleep on the couch with her calculator after a long day of tallying electoral votes and participating in a political roundhouse table with her friends. Bless her heart.
This whole unpaid internship convo reminds me of an important lesson I learned very early on..be careful who you seek out as a mentor because not all advice is good advice.
Okay now that it’s out in the open..let me tell you how much I’m going to miss my work brother
@KennethMoton
and our belly laughs every single morning. He’s the real deal a true professional and a BIG personality. Couldn’t have picked a better pandemic partner ♥️ love you KMo!
❤️ I’m headed home to DC full time to be a correspondent! Many of you know I was based there before, reporting for our affiliates. For 2+ yrs, I was hopping on that train every Fri and back on Sun! I’ll miss this fun like Amtrak will miss my ridership! 🤣
I spoke to Colman Domingo & Jeffrey Wright this morning about their Oscar nominations for Best Actor.
Both getting emotional remembering and reflecting on the impact their mothers, who have passed, had on their lives
People can say whatever they want to about awards, but it is more about moments like this. Jeffrey Wright's reaction to his first Oscar nomination is beautiful, such an incredible talent.
#Oscars
It is jarring to see the stark difference between the heavy military response deployed in DC during last summer's protests OUTSIDE of government buildings compared to the restraint that was being shown toward these right-wing extremists INSIDE the US Capitol building.
As my time in
#Cleveland
comes to an end, I want to say Thank you for a wonderful two years.
It has been a pleasure waking up with you all on weekday/weekend mornings and sharing your remarkable stories of resilience, perseverance and triumph.
“Did you hear abt the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk w/o having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew frm concrete when no one else cared.” 🌹
Y’all remember how scary it was to accidentally hit the internet button on your flip phone..I don’t even think the internet was real but you got charged for your audacity..
Finally meet/anchored with
@IkeEjiochi
! The guy is a pro.
My first words to him were “I thought you were 5’8” the man is 6’4.
This is why my co-workers want to fight me sometimes 😓
I’m not sharing that video of the elderly man falling cause I could barely watch it this morning.
But It is a prime example of why a police report, ESPECIALLY in an incident involving an officer, is just one account of what happened..not fact.
🗣One more time for the people in the back...
The 'Hustle Culture' has been overly glamorized... you are actually more productive when you prioritize sleep, food & downtime.
Take care of yourself.
