Today in history, 1939: Billie Holiday first records “Strange Fruit” for the independent label Commodore Records. The song, which protests the lynching of Black Americans, became her biggest-selling record and a definitive anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. /1

The Passport Fair in San Antonio this past weekend was a huge success! We were able to help more than 1,100 people receive one-on-one support for their passport needs. I am glad to see San Antonians accessing this important resource.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

FLOOD THREAT INCREASING: There is a weak stationary boundary draped across parts of San Antonio. This is causing all the rain to be mainly confined to the northern and eastern parts of Bexar county. Flash flooding is in progress across this area. Rainfall rates of 1-1.5" per hour are possible.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Time is wild and you got this! ☕️🙌🏽📚

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

BANG THE DRUM... SPURS WIN GAME 1.

With his performance tonight, Wemby has set a new San Antonio Spurs franchise record for most points scored in a postseason debut, passing Tim Duncan!

Tim Duncan — 32 PTS (4/23/1998)

First home playoff game in 6 years…
EVERYONE WEARS A SUIT! 🕴️

It’s Game 1 between the Blazers and Spurs tipping off at 9pm/et on NBC & Peacock 🍿

Tim Duncan is clearly the best San Antonio Spur of all time but David Robinson is culturally the most Spur to ever live. Herb swaggerless Navy man that did commercials promoting abstinence. Chiseled from stone and a phenomenal player but corny as hell

Tim and Dave

Hahaha The Admiral even curved the brim of his hat like he's about to break out some cargo shorts and mow the lawn and Tim couldn't fucking wait to leave San Antonio so he could grow out his dreads
