#KimDavis has been married four times and opposes #gaymarriage. I would suggest she should be with a woman, but I don't want her to fuck up a pride parade. 🏳️🌈 #SCOTUS

October 20, 1961: Twilight Zone's "The Mirror" airs. Peter Falk plays a Castro-like leader who believes a unique mirror is exposing his assassins.
Some critics dismiss it—and sure, it's not top-tier TZ—but I think it teaches a valuable lesson about the seductive nature of power.

30 years ago, Black men gathered in Washington, D.C. for the historic Million Man March. Today, we honor the legacy, the message, and the movement. That spirit lives on. We must continue the fight alongside our brothers and sisters in a struggle that’s so much bigger than us. ✊🏿 #MillionManMarch
