Serious question. Can folks who know black tie/dress tailoring explain this to me. I know there are different cuts for these kinds of occasions. Some look did to an unsigned eye. But can someone explain this?
Lol “odd to an untrained eye”
I think Lord Grantham has the proportions right
It’s like everything was fine. But melania was pissed and gave him Baron’s jacket.

Notorious holocaust denier/anti-Semite was scheduled to speak at handful of NYC area Catholic Churches on behalf Polish nationalist causes talkingpointsmemo.com/news/holocaust… via @TPM
2/ This is “historian” I referred to before who doesn’t exactly deny the holocaust, just argues that it was a Jewish plot and that many Jews had fun.
3/ Two of the churches canceled the speeches this afternoon in response to pressure from activists. Others appear to be gong forward.

Journalists definitely need to be careful shining public scrutiny on ‘civilians.’ But this really applies to 1) people caught up in stories thru no act of their own 2) people whose main role is as victim and 3) children. Clearly none of these apply here.
2/ It is actually one of the main problems w the digital age that people can become large consequence political actors and remain anonymous. There are some cases where this is a good (activists in police states). But mainly it’s an intrinsic evil in the system,
3/ short circuiting one of the major balancing forces in political and civic engagement. It is not that different from rising demands of major political funders that they require the state to protect their anonymity to prevent reputational harm created by public backlash ...

One side note is the guy in the blue suit is all business. Not going to let it be a scuffle. Push? Turn? No. Clamps down on that pale bronicious body like a vice and just walks the dude off the stage.
2/ few other people come from off stage and don’t know quite what to do and then at about 15 seconds in boom.
They really appear to have had essentially no security. This vid shows the blue suit guy off stage lower right. He has to jump up on to the stage and seems to wait for go ahead to grab the guy. Not clear he was even there in a security role.

In 2016, it was reported that Russian hackers had breached an Illinois voter database. It was later reported that voting machine vendor ES&S had left an Illinois voter database exposed w/o password protection. Were these incidents connected? @VickerySec nbcnews.com/news/us-news/r… 1/
It’s a serious question. I don’t know the answer. upguard.com/breaches/cloud… 2/
ES&S, by the way, is the voting machine vendor that both Georgia and Philly insist on using. It’s weird. 3/

Thinking about the moment earlier today in #Sarita #Texas at CBP checkpoint, about 85-100 miles from the US-Mexico border, depending on map. It was on US Highway 77. CBP agent asked the routine question, Are you a citizen of the US? I refused to answer.
He asked again. I told him that I didn't need to answer, He asked me again, I said I am not answering.

His supervisor came and asked me what I do. I said I was a journalist. He asked me where I was born. I said that I don't have to answer that. I know my rights.
(As I talked with the CBP agents, I was every aware of my privilege, unlike others who don't have that privilege).

Morning thoughts: Sometimes white FB friends post photos from an evening out & everyone w/ them appears white. Then I look thru their other pics & same deal. I wonder: Am I their 1 black friend? How many white folks claim proximity to me as a shield against accusations of racism?
And if I *am* the only black friend of many white folks I know, what’s my responsibility for or complicity in their white liberalism? Been thinking about this after I heard someone I sort of know claiming to be friends with me in a discussion about race & I was like who? what? 🤔
FYI if you’re Facebook friends with me we aren’t necessarily friends. If you follow me we aren’t necessarily friends. You can’t claim me as friend if we’ve never had a one on one convo or you can’t name basic shit about me like where I’m from, my partners’ names, etc.

Haiti is in a state of Emergency! Violent protests & fires happening all over Haiti right now! The news reports repeated story about fuel price spikes causing this. I am reporting in real time from Haiti source.

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump @FoxNews
2) Bear with me, I'm typing as it's coming in. The building of Parliament in Port-au-Prince has just completely burned down. HAITI NEEDS ASSISTANCE NOW! @realDonaldTrump
3) These aren’t just protests. The fuel prices sparked rage in an already uncivilized, lawless place. They are starting fires nationwide. Attacks are happening everywhere at the highest levels!
