.@JoeBiden did not praise a segregationist. That is a disingenuous take. He basically said sometimes in Congress, one has to work with terrible or down right racist folks to get things done. And then went on to say when you can't work with them, work around them.
Let's be honest here, a person currently sits in the White House who has ACTUALLY praised white supremacists, refuses to acknowledge the innocence of the #exonerated5 and talks about criminal justice reform, but has yet to allocate ONE PENNY to it in his budget. Meanwhile...
Joe Biden has been an ally in the fight for civil rights for years. I am all here for VALID CRITICISM, but suggesting that Joe Biden - the man who literally ran for office against an incumbent at 29 because of the civil rights movement, the man who...
was at the forefront of marriage equality before it was politically popular, the man who served as President Obama's VP, the man who literally launched his 2020 campaign calling out Nazis in Charlottesville along with Trump's equivalency - suggesting he is...
Actively praising a segregationist is just a bad take and a willfully disingenuous act.

Wait are you really serious? Ok let me address this in a thread. I tweeted about the “unsolicited opinions of black men” in relation to an op ed where “Uncle Luke” attempts to slut shame and degrade Sen. Kamala Harris. Please bring a critical eye to someone’s record, but...
The misogyny and talking about her husband is unnecessary and beneath us all. I have seen these sentiments shared from Black men on Sen. Harris far too often. This has nothing to do with her record. It’s abt something else that’s toxic..
That has no place here and I’m not standing for it. Because today it’s Kamala tomorrow it’s another black woman. So I’m not silencing the voices of Black men - especially when it comes to political conversation - we need you!...

Mollie Tibbetts was murdered b/c she told a man to leave her alone while she was jogging. Her murderer happens to be undocumented. This isn’t about border security. This is about toxic masculinity. Mollie Tibbetts lost her life b/c a man couldn’t take her saying no. Full stop.
Her murderer actually might not even be undocumented. Regardless it is problematic for people to characterize an entire community based off the actions of one person. The majority of mass shootings in America are carried out by white men. So are we going to round them all up?...
That logic is asinine, archaic and flawed. I’d love if we could have a real conversation about how women’s lives are literally in danger because some men do not know how to check their egos. How many more women have to die before we can address this?...

It’s shocking to me the lengths folks will go through to normalize what’s happening under the rmbrells of “making sense of it all”. As a great speaker once said, “normal is dangerous.” And I would venture to say, just because it’s normal, it doesn’t make it right.
I’m pained by the ways in which reporters, hosts & professional politicos have “normalized economic anxiety” in attempts to make sense of racism. I’m really struck by the idea that the president & his supporters ? truth b/c it’s par for the course for what his supporters believe.
All of this is dangerous. The way some have chosen to take white supremacist ideology & elevate it as though it’s a new phenomenon challenging our conventional thinking. The way some have gone through great lengths to explain away the erratic & baseless behavior by the president

Today in everyday #racism my family and I are at @FairfieldHotels and the front desk clerk asked for a second person's ID since mine is expired. Ok fine. My daughter who is 21 gives hers. Mind you the rooms are registered to her and I.
She states "I see you have a driver what about his ID" referring to my fiance.
Mind you the only white person on the trip.
Kayla presents her ID. She takes it then says "oh I need a driver's license" to which I said
"What if I didn't have a DL then what?"
She then gave us our keys and checked us in.
At that time we requested a 3rd room. They didn't have one. She knew we had 7 ppl in 2 king rooms.

How do I know so many made-up stories about how the Enigma code was cracked and didn't know until yesterday how interesting the real story is? A volunteer at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park just casually blew my mind with a bit of the story. /1
We asked how they came to have an Enigma machine at Bletchley Park, and he said "the Polish postal service intercepted it just before the Germans invaded". No U-Boats, no battles, no heroic Allied Officers - a postman. /2
I looked it up when I got home and here's everything I could find. There may be actual paper books that tell the story more coherently, but on the internet I could only find little bits that all fitted together - I'd love a recommended read if anyone knows one!
