A new season of @bbcdoctorwho began last night with an episode entitled "The Woman Who Fell To Earth."

Yes, the 13th Doctor is a woman and that woman is #JodieWhittaker. There was been the expected sexist push back, and may they eat crow.

She was amazing.

#DoctorWho
I have watched #DoctorWho for what feels like my entire life. Tom Baker was my first Doctor, but I love all of them in their own way.

Jodie still has some miles to go before she surpasses Tom or my personal favorite, Number 10, David Tennant, but she's on her way.

Last night was hands down the best and most exciting series premiere in the series' entire 55 year history. But it was also the strongest and best debut of any new Doctor.

Lucky 13 is amazing and I am dead excited about the future of #DoctorWho now.

The future is female.

I'm going to address a couple points & then mute this comment thread.

If you don't think that @HillaryClinton or the people around her, many of whom were brilliant & socially conscious POC, didn't know of or understand the data you're referencing then you know nothing of HRC.
1/
You certainly don't seem to recall the finer details of 2016 and, despite your claims to understand the particular pressures she was under, refuse to give those pressures their proper due.

In an election filled with fake news & populist hyperbole from the far right & left..

2/
...an election that was overwhelmed by such virulent misogyny it actually started to feel normal, where Clinton was mocked for being too prepared, and was lectured for being too wonky, and where she was already offering some pretty nuanced and in depth arguments on race...

Not understanding your point. You expect that Clinton would come out on the losing end of such a comparison?

I totally disagree.

I've listened to @HillaryClinton speak passionately about race for three decades.

Race and racism were a central focus of her 2016 campaign.

1/
She didn't speak about it just every once in awhile @amikegreen, she spoke about it every single day of the campaign.

In fact, race and criminal justice was the topic of her first policy paper for the campaign, which she presented in April 2015.

2/
She continued making major speeches on the topic of race throughout the campaign.

Here again from June 2016.

It gives me hives. My blood pressure starts to climb. My mouth will sometimes go completely dry.

It's crazy I know, but there it is...

The thought that after everything we have been through, that she's been through, that another woman will get recognition as "First."

1/
2020 gives me a sour stomach, and it's only 2018. And yet from this distance I can see that @TheDemocrats are going to get the tone wrong in two years.

Nothing new.

In my dreams 2020 would be a taking back of 2016. It would be an acknowledgment that we / #SheWon.

2/
The convention would be as much about thanking @HillaryClinton as it would be her leading the mantle to whomever we nominate.

She would be introduced as the legitimate President of the United States, and she would introduce the nominee and pass the mantle to her / him.

Let’s do some #tweetnotes on #Doctor Who: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos.

MUTE FOR SPOILERS

In short: As disappointing an episode as has been made for the post-2005 show.
DW-TBORAK: Let’s start with Graham. His story this week is to announce his intention to kill the villain in revenge for his wife. The Doctor and Ryan disapprove. Then the moment he decides not to.

Those are the beats. Those are *all* the beats. #tweetnotes
DW-TBORAK: What’s the most interesting way to show he’s planing a murder?

There’s tension in watching him plan in secret, maybe. Lies and actions for his own agenda.

Or the Doctor could be shown to be smart - stopping Graham and saying “I know what you’re thinking.” #tweetnotes

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

Sometimes I ask myself why bad things happen to good people, why 'monkeys would sow & baboons will reap'..

One day I got a call from my former colleague Tobi, he said his car broke down close to my house & he needed help!

One Chance!☹

Thread!

#StoryTimeWithUche
I stood up, went outside to take a bike to where he was - minutes later I got there & saw him in distress;

"Wetin do your car?" I asked as I walked closer, "I no know o, the car just broke down!" he responded.

I moved closer to him by the bonnet & suddenly noticed a young girl!
"Tobi, the bathroom" she said expressing some discomfort between her thighs, "ehen, abeg help me carry my babe go use your toilet abeg" Tobi swiftly responded

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."
