I'm just ecstatic about this.
I've loved having #TracyKSmith, whose work I'm crazy about, be Poet Laureate. The choice of #JoyHarjo to succeed her is a long-overdue recognition of Native work.

Here's more about #JoyHarjo, who was just chosen as our next Poet Laureate.

How are we not talking about this story 24/7 with the urgency it demands?
This isn't taking place in some developing nation at war, this is happening in TEXAS and YOU are paying for it.

Every Democrat running for president should be here. THIS is what you are running against. The atrocities perpetrated by the Trump administration.
#KidsInCages
Remember when everyone was castigating @RepAOC for calling these places concentration camps?
Who can genuinely argue that this inhumane treatment of incarcerated children doesn't fit that definition? Seriously. Who?

This really should be titled "even though Warren has better and more informed policy that is squarely to the left of Sanders AND includes women, I have to insist that Bernie is better because he's had the same POV since college."
1/
This piece is correct in that Bernie is an ideologue and Warren is a bit of an arrivist, but Warren has passed more legislation in her short time in Congress than Sanders has in his 30yrs.
Nwanevu makes no case for Sanders' independent status and fluffs Sanders' record.
2/
Not does Nwanevu explain Bernie's slender resume. This is frustrating when Warren has done so much over such an extensive career that included raising kids and putting her husband and herself through school.
Why do we expect so much less of men than we do women?

OMG.
How is this not disqualifying on its face?
Eastland never called #Biden "boy" because he wasn't black. I guarantee you he called black men "boy" and worse.
Why are we on a nostalgia tour of the Jim Crow era with Biden?
This is as terrible as #Biden's stance on abortion, his assurances that Pence and Cheney are actually really nice guys and that #AnitaHill should just get over herself already.
My parents--Biden's generation-- were Civil Rights workers. Talmadge and Eastland who #Biden invoked with fondness tonight, were notorious. These were not names to drop with nostalgia. These men were purveyors of white supremacy. They were no different than Trump. Just smarter.

In case you wondered!! 😊
I add Q drops that match the deltas (time between tweets) and timestamps on President Trump’s Tweets as a way to re_read drops and to see if they are deliberate on POTUS part, possibly pointing to a specific drop. Sometimes they seem to be!

LONG THREAD: With today's announcement of substantial investment in data-driven pretrial criminal legal system reform, we are long-overdue for a broad conversation on addressing community needs, the role of philanthropy, & the ethics of certain models of social science research.
We hope this will be a starting point, though it appears the train has already left the station:

Good quality research. Evidence-based. Data-driven.

These buzzwords are quite popular in #cjreform circles, among nonprofits, researchers, foundations, & elected officials.
Yet no one required such rigorous investigation to incarcerate millions of people, including hundreds of thousands pretrial, which has caused generations of harm.

Research did not create our present criminal punishment system.

Racism & fear did.

Long overdue:
- A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers introduced a resolution Wednesday calling on #Saudi Arabia to “immediately & unconditionally” release women’s rights advocates detained since May & tortured at orders of Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
Among the resolutions, lawmakers call on #Saudi Arabia to end male guardianship system. HOW LONG HAS IT TAKEN TO GET ATTENTION FOR GENDER APARTHEID?! Long overdue!

#TheEndIsNigh! #grading #BriteBible Final exegesis papers.
Just read a really great line in a student paper that has me ready to preach on Elijah and the widow: "Tzarefat is a place of abundance, but not for everybody."
Great observation leading to a question: God tells Elijah the widow has been charges with providing for him but she clearly hasn't been told. Why not?

Growing up in the 90s, fighting games were the most diverse media out there. And they attracted the most diverse fandom I've ever been a part of. Nice to see the FGC community get some long overdue recognition for this from a wider audience.
Btw I went to the most diverse High School in all of America (and possibly the world) circa 2000. National geographic did a story on us! Half our students came from 70 different countries. And a lot of us played fighting games!
Fighting Games were one of the only forms of media where the diversity I saw in everyday life was reflected on the screen. Like everyone else, we played them because they were fun & awesome. But on some deep and basic level I think the diversity of the casts was really important.
