Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Today would have been Emmett Till's 85 birthday, but he was lynched in Mississippi. Mamie Till Mobley's courage exposed the brutality of racism in America & ignited the Civil Rights Movement. Today we also hold space for Nolan Wells and seek answers around his death. #Justicedelayedisjusticedenied.
