The mettle it took to demand this moment and refuse to be silenced is what makes @KamalaHarris a leader.
"As the only black person on this stage, I’d like to speak on the issue of race." ⁠politico.com/story/2019/06/…
“Anyway, my time is up,” Biden said, though no one had called time.
That metaphor is so telling.

What's more, this segregationist/busing issue has been raised before about Biden--when he was going to run the last time.

This article is what happens when there are no black editors--or even an alert white one.
This trumpets that "some schools in Berkeley were 97% black and some were 97%white."
WHICH MEANS THEY WERE STILL BASICALLY SEGREGATED, NOT INTEGRATED.

#KamalaHarris was exactly what she said. This piece thinks it's calling her out because there were 15 black students in the school--making it "only" 97% white.
Honestly, how this claims to be fact-checking integration is an embarassment. Berkeley schools weren't integrated.

It's really critical that we journalists take the mission to report the news truthfully as a serious pact with the public. This does not fulfull that mission. Rather it tries to undermine Harris and give cover for white segregation.

Debate recap: Joe Biden throws own campaign into turmoil after Kamala Harris attacks his record on race - CNNPolitics cnn.com/2019/06/28/pol…
So this piece posits that as a "devoted servant of the Democratic party," Biden will recover and people will be "offended at the audacity" of Harris.
My goodness, how many ways can you prop up white male patriarchal norms of mediocrity rising above female brilliance?
This piece really exemplifies all that is wrong with the white male pundit class. It reads like a scolding of Harris for daring to challenge Biden's actual record.
The piece mentions Biden's tragedies,which are certainly awful but not part of this story anymore than Harris's are.

I feel like we got much more from this #DemDebate than I expected. I would have liked a more controlled stage and that the moderators paid better attention to how many questions they were giving candidates. Warren got no q's for 34 mins of the 1st hour, shut out of immigration.
What I had expected would happen did: some shone, some fell. It was a better opportunity than expected to get a sense of candidates and what they offer.
Most candidates gave a clear picture of who they are. For good or ill.

I appreciated Booker, Castro and Klobuchar raising #LGBTQ points.

"Biden takes flak on race and busing. But his views may still mirror America’s" by @isaacstanbecker. This is a good piece that quotes historian Brett Gadsden, whose book "Between North and South" is the best place to start to understand Biden and "busing" washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06…
To understand the #DemDebate2 exchange between #KamalaHarris & Joe #Biden, you have to understand that "busing" has been used since the 50s as a code word to oppose school integration. I cover this history in "Why Busing Failed" & the book's website whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…
White parents in the North organized after Brown v Board to maintain segregated schools, using euphemisms like "busing" & "neighborhood schools" to maintain segregated schools without explicitly saying they didn't like black or Latinx students #DemDebate2 whybusingfailed.com/anvc/why-busin…

Just a few minutes now... #DemDebate Image of the ten candidates onstage before the debate, night 2
The MSNBC talking heads think it's hysterical that Andrew Yang isn't wearing a tie. I wonder if they've heard that the president is a rapist. Someone should tell them. #DemDebate
As last night, there will be no opening statements. We'll go right into questions for two hours and then brief closing remarks. #DemDebate

Good evening! I will begin live-tweeting the #DemDebate2020 at 9PM ET for @CourthouseNews but in the meantime, let's go over some policy points for each of tonight's contenders.
Tonight’s candidates on the debate stage are: @JoeBiden, @BernieSanders, @KamalaHarris, @PeteButtigieg, @MichaelBennet, @SenGillibrand (Kirsten Gillibrand), John @Hickenlooper, @ericswalwell, @Marwilliamson (Marianne Williamson) and @Andrew Yang.
But first, we'll revisit rules quickly: recall, candidates have 60 seconds to respond, 30 seconds for follow-ups. There will be no opening remarks to save time but closing remarks will be delivered by each.

JUST IN: Judiciary Committee Democrats hearing Thursday will focus on *five* of Mueller's obstruction incidents, all of which they say Hope HICKS has knowledge of and may testify to on Wednesday.

Witnesses Thursday include: @rickhasen
@rickhasen The incidents include:

-The Comey firing
-Efforts to remove Mueller
-Efforts to get Sessions to curtail the Mueller probe.
-The public unearthing of the Trump Tower meeting
-Allegations of Trump campaign finance violations
Judiciary Committee aides say they will require the White House to formally assert executive privilege in order to consider it valid during Hicks' testimony.

That means a White House lawyer will be in the room during the interview.
