One thing I’ve learned on the @ring neighborhood app is that white folks steal so casually. They’re brazen in how chill they are about committing crime.
Is it because they can do it so often and easily in life with little or no consequence?
Real question.
I’m truly amazed.

A few years ago there was a # where white folks were honest about how easily they can get away with stuff in life.
Stuff = criminal activity that would get other folks long prison sentences or on a very bad day quickly shot & killed by police.
I think of that watching @ring.

Another thing I noticed on the @ring app is how white folks describe the other white folks who commit crimes. They’re always still called ladies & men or kids. Never thugs, animals or criminals. They keep their humanity always even when doing heinous things brazenly ON camera.

Most everyone is appearing by Zoom. Some members didn’t mute their microphones and Rep. DeFazio gravelled them to shut off their mics or get the boot. 😳
Rep. DeFazio says they’re gonna do it all in an infrastructure bill: wastewater/sewer systems, airports, roads, public transit, and anything else in his committee’s purview.
Lindsey Graham yesterday: "If [Democrats] get the House, the Senate and the White House, then God help us all. Puerto Rico will be a state."
"God help us" that something that's happened 37 times before might happen to...PR.🤔
Pray tell, what exactly is different here, Senator?

Puerto Rico's population is larger than 20 currently existing states.
A couple of thoughts from today’s DCFS hearing:
In the short term at least, the MCO shift is looking like a total disaster. They don’t have the network, there are going to be a lot of kids losing care, and they don’t even know where some of these former kids are.
Which leads to my next thought - rather than just tell the committee we aren’t there yet - they literally lied about knowing where former youth in care are. When pressed, they sort of back tracked - but truth is they don’t know.
1/17 Ever wonder how whiteness is privileged in the social sciences? #anthrotwitter #AnthroSoWhite [A Thread]

3/17 In the top 1,000 texts taught in anthropology courses, only 9 are authored by Black scholars. Let's explore what they are, who they're written by...and what that says about #anthropology

Treason Act conceived 1351 by Ed III,offences against King/his family, the chancellor and judges whilst doing their duty. Since then been 11 amendments (last one 1945) and 3 repeals of sections (1998). 1945 one still stands legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1945/44/… which put together/removed(1)
