Reporter: More than 45,000 ballots have been returned in Louisiana. What happens to those? GOP Gov. Jeff Landry: Oh, those ballots are discarded. Reporter: You say that like it’s not a big deal. Landry: Well, it’s not a big deal. It’s not my fault

One of many lines seen around the city today. Dozens of #Louisiana citizens signing petition to recall Governor Jeff Landry.

Oh they’re getting bold

THERE’S BLOOD ON THAT BALLOT BOX 🔥

THERE’S BLOOD ON THAT BALLOT BOX🔥🔥🔥

One of these people is me 👩🏽‍🦱back when we had Black TV shows on air I used to opine that all the Black comedy shows were segregated on one night, but now there’s no nights & that sucks more 🫠

There have been only four Black congressmen elected to the U.S. House from Louisiana since Reconstruction. They’re all in this photo.

So this is a police state

Can I say something….?

@FreshDirect What's happening with Friday and Saturday morning deliveries. I used to able to confidentiality place an order, but now I don't see that option anymore. I'm in the Yankee Stadium area. Is this a neighborhood thing or individual?

People died for the right to vote

Braid extensions are not the problem. Lack of transparency is. I wrote for @KatieCouric Media about what we know, what we don’t, and why Black women deserve safer beauty products, clearer labeling, and real oversight. Read here: katiecouric.com/health/are-hai…

Today, I am beginning a special series honoring my mother, Coretta Scott King, in the days leading up to what would have been her 99th birthday on April 27. In the 7 days leading up to what would have been her 99th birthday, I will be sharing photos, memories, quotes, and moments from her extraordinary life and legacy. My mother was deeply committed to justice, peace, and nonviolence. She was also the founder of The King Center, a visionary leader, and a moral force whose life still calls us to live with courage, clarity, and purpose. As we remember her, may we also deepen our understanding of her life, her leadership, and the enduring impact of her witness. #CorettaScottKing #CSK99 #BelovedCommunity #MLK

Happy birthday, @DrMayaAngelou! Angelou's poetry reminded generations of women that they are capable, beautiful, and unstoppable. Mrs. Obama spoke in 2014 at Wake Forest University about how Angelou's words inspired her: "She told us that our worth has nothing to do with what the world might say. Instead, she said, 'Each of us comes from the creator trailing wisps of glory.' She reminded us that we must each find our own voice, decide our own value, and then announce it to the world with all the pride and joy that is our birthright as members of the human race."

Actually, we don’t have to.

I miss you, Daddy. Remembering you today on the 58th anniversary of your assassination. #MLK
