Obama had spent seven half years fighting a Senate who successfully blocked EVERY single piece of legislation he publicly backed, solely out of spite. They swore they would do that the week he took office, and they never broke ranks. There was no way in hell they would have approved any Justice who wasn’t a…

I’m glad that you said it, because I feel like it hasn’t gotten nearly enough play. On one hand, obviously, I wanted her to serve on the court forever, and I can understand her desire to hang on for as long as possible, but strategic thinking would have very much helped.

This is a very interesting point that I hadn’t thought of before. It is kind of insane that there’s a job at the highest level of our government where people work until they die.

I am just going to say this but she should have retired in 2014 when the Dems still held the Senate and she knew she had end stage pancreatic cancer. She was an icon but that doesn’t mean she didn’t fuck us totally by not stepping down.

“Selfishly I wanted to do it together. Silently I was unsure how I’d do it alone.”

I came to say exactly this. It’s such a beautiful article and it’s enriched by the inclusion of the clips and commentary from others.

The composer expressed a different sentiment after Prince’s death, but OK.

Please find the clip of Chadwick looking back at Michael B. Jordan at the Oscars when Green Book won “Best Picture.” It was like “Damn Bro ain’t this some shit?” Funny that HBO has been running “Get On Up” all this month.

This is everything. Thank you.

What’s been especially hitting me are seeing all the kids (including friend’s kids) pay tributes with super hero action figure funerals....It’s all a bit too much at times.

I’m bawling here in appreciation. Thank you. The man truly had a light.

Check on your black friends today. More than likely they are not okay.

This made me cry. My son’s favorite superhero is Black Panther - and he only knows Chadwick Boseman’s MCU performances (he’s 7 & not into comic books - yet.) What an incredible soul he had.

I remember I had little tears of joy when I first watched this video a few years ago. Early this morning I watched it and just cried.

He was the perfect T’Challa.

My heart goes out to Black children everywhere who lost the hero who looked like them.

How the hell you gonna come for someone else’s looks and you look like this???
