One of my favorite scene of Theo from The Cosby Show RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner ✊🏾🙏🏾🕊️ I actually tried this with my parents after the first time I saw this episode, let’s just say it ended in laughter lol 😂 the school I used was Baylor University! #RIP #MalcolmJamalWarner…
My heart goes out to Pamela Warner🙏🏽 No words can ease the pain of losing her precious son…but I pray she feels surrounded by love, support, and the deep admiration the world had—and will always have—for Malcolm. May she find comfort in knowing how much he meant to so many 🙏🏽🙏🏽
So many of us watched #MalcolmJamalWarner grow up: from the adorably adolescent “Theo” on the Cosby Show to the admirably arrogant surgeon “Dr. Austin” on The Resident. In but 54 years, he impressed many—as in millions—as an excellent actor & socially conscious artist. RIP
WHY NOW? A document dump meant to distract —over objections of the MLK family.
BREAKING: The Trump administration releases thousands of FBI records on Martin Luther King Jr., despite his family's opposition. apnews.com/article/martin…
MJW. Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Love You Bro Forever. 🙏🏿🤎
A statement from Dr. Martin Luther King's family on the release of the records: "During our father’s lifetime, he was relentlessly targeted by an invasive, predatory, and deeply disturbing disinformation and surveillance campaign orchestrated by J. Edgar Hoover through the FBI"
His role on The Resident was genius.

It was good to see MJW play an uber competent, brilliant, and compassionate Black man who thought well of himself as a surgeon —without apology. It was also nice to see his character fall in love with an ebony statuesque and equally brilliant African woman.
An Iconic Black Family Sitcom! R.I.P. Malcom-Jamal Warner #Theo 🥺🙏🏾🕊️
I feel like we all tuned in as a family to see Theo graduate from NYU. This is all so sad.
This son bought his dad a truck after his dad’s truck broke down. He’s not a NBA or NFL, DR. or a lawyer,hust a regular guy worked hard to get his dad a truck. This shows his appreciation. The gift just says THANKS DAD... I love you!
3. Traditional, independent, & social media should carry these field hearings live. It’s time to broadcast the masked & badgeless Gestapo & Klan tactics of ICE for the world to see— WITH the stamp of congressional approval. @AP @NPR @NNPA_BlackPress
2. The racial profiling of immigrants & citizens said to be immigrants has already begun. ICE could now become the Klan of the 1920s. WITHOUT the GOP majority, members of Congress can/must hold field hearings & collect victim testimony to document for the courts & the public.
A 🧵 1. In 2025 ICE begins to hire 1000s of new agents to deport 10s of 1000s of immigrants. Going back 15 years, the FBI & others have documented white supremacists infiltrating law enforcement. What’s Trump’s plan for preventing ICE from becoming the KKK’s immigration office❓
#OTD in 1896, Mary Church Terrell and fellow activists Frances E.W. Harper, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin founded the National Association of Colored Women. They worked to address social issues such as lynching and suffrage.
