'I haven't slept much since I found out about George Floyd's death. No matter how exhausted I am, no matter how many times they bump me or push me around, I know my power.' newyorkvonni on what it's like to be a BlackLivesMatter activist right now:

We did a brief press conference. We got on a plane all together and arrived in Minneapolis. I got off the plane, and I had a congressional debate call in a few minutes. While the team is getting a rental truck and at baggage claim, I'm in a I Can't Breathe T-shirt, the blazer, my Air Jordan 1s, pearls, and a BLM face mask andwith career politicians. I spent about an hour and a half on the debate; I stayed in the truck while we went to the hotel to drop off our luggage.

Nickelodeon Aired A Powerful Statement About Supporting Black Lives Matter, And People Are Praising ItThe network went off the air for nearly nine minutes in honor of George Floyd. It sucked. Its totally bullshit. Its a kids channel. For KIDS. Keep your Divisive News on the News. That's what I saw on logo! Many networks, mostly in the Viacom family, including MTV, ComedyCentral, and BET did the same thing at the same time. Why are you praising only this network, and not, say, BET which I would think has a bigger stake in this thank the children's network.
