#RVA @RPS_Schools plan by Stoney & Kamras is likely illegal based on the redistricting case to achieve racial balance 2007. @RTDNEWS @SCOTUSOpinions Roberts wrote lead on decision: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desegrega…
Court is very different now. @BrettKavanaugh Kennedy was swing vote. 1)
2) Kennedy wrote"What the government is not permitted to do, absent a showing of necessity not made here, is to classify every student on the basis of race and to assign each of them to schools based on that classification." Can't assign individual students to schools. @RTDNEWS
Hate to see #RVA become center of busing debate again bcz of this @JasonKamras Stoney plan to pair schools after their redistricting, pairing Fox & JohnBCary. @RTDNEWS we just made so much progress with Arthur Ashe Blvd. This will divide & create more white flight. @NBC12 @CBS6

Wolf Pack ruling: New Spain sex attack trial reignites rape law debate Not just in Spain ⁦@CoryBooker⁩ ⁦@TheDemocrats⁩ need to get out of denial about gangs & ⁦@JoeBiden⁩ "gaffe" was speaking the truth.
Adolescent male gangs r predators. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
And it is biology, not racism. Dr. Jane Goodall studied our closest relatives chimpanzees 4 decades. Adolescent male chimps in troops with no alpha male, became little hoodlums, terrorising other chimps. We are primates. Its science not racism.@CoryBooker @MSNBC @CNNPolitics
Goodall also found that with enough to go around, chimps shared with oneanother. Placing a very large stalk of bananas out, greed erupted & they began fighting among themselves over the hoard.
There is much to be learned from her studies. @MSNBC @TheDemocrats @CNNPolitics

@CoryBooker I’d like to tell youa happy story of African Americans triumphing and rejoicing in the happiest of ways, here in #RVA Theyre celebrating the life of Arthur Ashe, with the renaming of the Boulevard to Arthur Ashe Blvd, suggested by my Councilor @kimgray4rva 1
There’s a tennis tournament and many other festivities to celebrate the life of Arthur Ash. We also learned that noted artist/sculptor Kehinde Wiley will sculpt a powerful equine statue, mounted by a young AfricanAmerican, an artistic response to older monuments.2
This powerful artistic response will tour different art museums, finding permanent home at @vmfa in Richmond, VA. This effort has been I think wisely managed, with no guarantees of a successful outcome. We had community meetings where everyone had an opportunity to be heard.3

@TerryMcAuliffe Richard Spencer, the coiner of the term “alt-right,” says Russia is both the “sole” and “most powerful white power in the world.” The neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville last year chanted, “Russia is our friend!” C'ville was an Active Measure 1
2 @TerryMcAuliffe Matthew Heimbach, head of white nationalist Traditionalist Worker Party believes Putin is the “leader of the free world,” who has turned Russia into an “axis for nationalists.” NeoNazis who marched in Charlottesville last year chanted, “Russia is our friend!"
These quotes came from a Colorado newspaper, Colorado Independent, a digital newspaper. Found it sometime after C'ville.

It’s not simple. Biden in no way supported mandated racial segregation like in the South, and he strongly embraced the Civil Rights Movement. But like most whites in Northeast he couldn’t see/acknowledge the racism behind de facto segregation of schools in his home state. 1/4
He & his constituents seized on the “unfairness” of being “forced” to move kids from neighborhood schools to achieve racial balance. They were not yelling “segregation forever” like folks were down in my Mississippi home. But racial fears and bias *were* driving it. 2/4
Busing was fraught with real problems & badly executed. But opposition showed Republicans & George Wallace-ites another way to stoke racial fears w/out openly endorsing racist ideas. Nixon & Ford admins used “forced busing” as a bludgeon to attack all racial equity efforts. 3/4

If you're angry about the recent deletion of articles by @jesswade from #Wikipedia, there is a way to help. Of course, that way is also open to you if you are not angry about those deletions: Help to edit Wikipedia. 1/n
After all, Wikipedia is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit"! Only that it's not that simple, of course. It's easy to become enthusiastic about contributing to Wikipedia, start editing, have some really frustrating encounters with other members of the community, and 2/n
then leave because who needs that kind of aggravation when they are just trying to volunteer for something? This thread is about how to do good things on Wikipedia and avoid at least some of the frustration-inducing pitfalls. 3/n

So, there’s a 300 page opinion by a 3 judge panel regarding NC’s partisan gerrymandering. Guess I know what I’m doing after dinner tonight. #ncpol #ncga redistricting.lls.edu/files/NC%20cc%…
OK, so here we go…tweet storm forthcoming regarding the 300+ opinion that still holds NC partisan gerrymandering as illegal, and that this time, the plaintiff’s have met the Gill burden of having standing as being in a district that is in question:
With standing, the issue of the partisan gerrymandering by NC Republicans is in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Article I, the 1st Amendment, and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment:

I think most people know Steve Bannon was at Black Swan books yesterday and a woman confronted him with some choice words triggering the store owner to call the cops. This thread is reality from my perspective. 🧜🏻‍♀️ #RVA (1/11)
Even outside of the words that have directly come from Bannon’s mouth, he was the executive chairman of Breitbart and declared it the “platform for the alt right.” It is a publication that spreads xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, & generally hateful views.🧜🏻‍♀️ #RVA (2/11)
His words and the words from Breitbart have empowered a culture of hateful white supremacy and invaded our homes through the internet, television, and other mediums. Those words have made many minorities feel uncomfortable in this country. 🧜🏻‍♀️ #RVA (3/11)

This is going to be a long thread, basically a recap of events, mixed in with my opinions, using logic and reasoning, as it relates to the IC, Dems, Trump, MSM, foreign agents and Hillary.
We need to travel back to 2006 with Alexander Downing and Hillary. Downing worked a deal for Australia to give Hillary's foundation millions of dollars (pay to play).
