First email I wake up to this morning. Subject line: Your place in the universe.
It was in response to this tweet. And he’s right. His words are America, too.
For those saying I should have revealed his name, I don’t believe in ensuring the anonymity of racists who think it’s ok to email you things like this. However, he has a fairly common name did not want folks being harassed who had nothing to do with this.
Y’all are just the best. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

This story is kind of disgusting and shows a very clear bias. I’d bet no one who touched this story has had incarcerated family members. The villains in this government shutdown aren’t inmates getting a rare holiday meal of wings and tough steak. washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01…
Imagine thinking it’s cool to quote inmates happy that they got a decent meal while spending holidays away from family writing so in letters to family that officers are only supposed to be screening for safety reasons.
We always lay claim to objectivity when we have none. Someone like me who has had several family members incarcerated would have never pitched this story.

This explains so much. So. Much. Like folks who think discrimination against Irish was same as slavery. Folks who oppose affirmative action. Folks who think white people are the most discriminated against. Folks who think our biggest problem is class not race. On and on
I mean to acknowledge this means you have to acknowledge that black Americans were locked out of nearly every path to generating wealth. The money their labor produced. Land grants given to new European immigrants. GI Bills. Federally insured home loans. Quality public schools.
White-only suburbs. Union jobs. White-collar jobs. Public universities.

Funny story. I sold my book & applied for a fellowship to help write it and one of the reviewers, who had no background in education or racial injustice, questioned my assertion that codified and de jure school seg was a signature feature of the N and S. Called it an overreach.
1) It takes a lot of nerve to suggest you, with no background in the area, have some inside knowledge on a subject someone has written about for 15 years and researched an entire proposal for.
2) It spoke volumes about how successful white Northerners have been in promulgating the lie of their racial egalitarianism and that legal, intentional and systemic racism and racial segregation was a backwards Southern corruption and not the organizing principal of the U.S.

At @OSULawDEPC for the @DrugPolicyOrg @acluohio conference From Punishment to Public Health. I am going to tweet a lot about drug policy in the next two days. I know many people want to focus right now on the critical moment the nation is going through, feel free to mute me.
First speaker, opening keynote, is @SamuelKRoberts: “the War on Drugs has been fairly effective at what it was designed to do, which is to rationalize increasing inequality in health, education, labor, and opportunity in the post-1973 American economy.”
"This [the War on Drugs] was never about the drugs." @SamuelKRoberts drives home the point that the War on Drugs was backlash to the civil rights movement, anti-War movement, and an assault on poor people and people of color.

It was a perfect night to attend a party. The sky was clear, the winds were calm, and it was the weekend. The only downside to it all was that Jungkook’s boyfriend was throwing it in his apartment. The apartment he shared with Min Yoongi.

“Okay, let me make this clear, I won’t repeat myself.” The manager says standing in front of the 7 boy’s with a list. “Jin and Yoongi, Hoseok and Jimin, Jungkook and Tae, Joon gets his own room.” The man says before walking away and handing them the keys to the dorms. #taekook
Jungkook rolls his eyes at the decision that was made. Of course they pared him with Taehyung, everyone in their team has been wanting them to get along for years. They’ve tried everything, this isn’t surprising at all. #taekook #vkook #kookv
Taehyung on the other hand could care less about Jungkook liking him. He walks over to Namjoon timidly, the leader of the group already knowing the problem and he sighs. He unlocks the door to his own room and lets Taehyung in. #taekook #vkook #kookv

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
