CNN held a live televised drawing to determine which 20 Democrats will speak on which night of the July 30 and July 31 debate. latimes.com/politics/story…
Here's who will take center stage on night one: lat.ms/2XYDHwA
The second night could reprise the clash between Harris and Biden that happened during the first debate, in which Harris, who is black, attacked Biden for opposing some busing to end school segregation in the 1970s. lat.ms/2XYDHwA

Every weekend people flock to the Piñata District to put on a feast at the edge of downtown unlike any other in Los Angeles. ow.ly/Vby650v4XFB
Cumbias boom from giant speakers. Carne asada smoke clogs the air. Fryers sizzle as vendors vie for your attention. Some dance, some sing, some get down on one knee and recite poetry. ow.ly/Vby650v4XFB
The peddlers of the Piñata District have created one of the most tantalizing spaces in the city, with some intriguing characters. ow.ly/Vby650v4XFB

Los Angeles is trying to lead the world in fighting climate change. But when Angelenos flip a light switch, some of the energy may come a massive coal plant in rural Utah.

Energy reporter @Sammy_Roth explains: lat.ms/2xMNB9R
Intermountain Power Plant has been L.A.’s largest power source for 30 years. It will shut down in 2025, but L.A. is preparing to build a natural gas-fired power plant in its place, even as it works to shut down three gas plants in its own backyard. 📸: @luissinco
Intermountain has been an economic boon for rural Utah. The coal plant employs about 400 people today, with average salaries of $94,000. But locals have realized that whatever Los Angeles gives, Los Angeles can also take away. 📸: @luissinco lat.ms/2xMNB9R

1/ In preparing for my upcoming course on “The Bible in American Politics,” I’m reading @phantompublic insightful book on Charismatic Dominionism, which in turn made me revisit D. G. Hart’s 2004 incisive and overlooked critique of Evangelicalism, "Deconstructing Evangelicalism."
2/ As @phantompublic rightly notes in his book, Bebbington’s Quadrilateral defining evangelicalism (Biblicism, Crucicentrism, Conversionism, and Activism) is useful but does not account for evangelicalism as a social movement.
3/ In his book, Hart says that, “evangelicalism was a religious construction of particular salience during the late twentieth century. The general contractors in building this edifice were the leaders of the 1940s neo-evangelical movement who sought to breathe new life into...

@EricHolder has asked an important question:

#When was #America #ever #great?

I realize that there is a nearly unavoidable tendency to snort and spew one's coffee when they hear or read his question for the first time. But, honestly, isn't it worth the exercise to answer it?
So, @EricHolder, I'm going to do just that, and I'm going to ask my ragtag bag of followers and detractors to contribute as well.

I'm going to offer my evidence of moments of American greatness. And I'm going to ask those that read this thread to do the same.
But wait!

There's more!

I'm going to ask my detractors and antagonists (are you seeing this @fedupaton) to contribute as well, and will welcome from them both moments of greatness and moments of shame.

Our @HarvardHBS MBA course on #ManagingTheFutureOfWork is underway!

I share a few key ideas from each class that sparked conversation.

Class 9 continued our discussion of the contingent worker economy, incl Google's "shadow workforce" of contractors: vox.com/2018/12/7/1812…
TVCs (temps, vendors, contractors) make up ~50% of Google's workforce. TVCs recently protested that they deserve similar benefits (healthcare, paid vacations) & information (they're excluded from town hall meetings & other internal communications) as FT workers they work beside.
Class was very divided on how Google's CEO should respond to the TVC protests and the appropriate future size and function of TVC work. Most debate focused on the role of systems coder, and the thicket of operational, legal and ethical issues surfaced about TVCs. No resolution!

Last night 11 people plus the shooter died at a bar in California. Look at Twitter trends for the details. It's horrifying. But here's a thing - I'm seeing a lot of tweets about how "California has stricter laws so strict laws won't stop gun violence".
Our CA gun laws are garbage
My hubs and I bought a Beretta m9 about two years ago or so. It's a nice gun. We googled gun shops in the area. Found one about 15 minutes away that had it in stock so we could hold one and test the safety and loading.
We told them we'd like to buy it so they gave my husband (not me, just him), a one page test. they sat us in a corner of the store, away from patrons, asked us if we want sodas, and left. We we're by ourselves, and I was on Twitter on my phone.

Dear #Resistance,
Brace for battle.
As we turn the corner to 2018 the war for the hearts, minds, and votes of America will get more intense and target Resistance members directly.

Our grassroots movement is now the biggest threat to the goals of some very powerful special interests and people.

PSYOPS (psychological warfare) is a style of warfare that targets the minds of the adversary hoping to control thinking & behavior. It is VERY well understood in Russia (also by the Far-right) and it uses a range of proven techniques such as disinformation, and memetic warfare 3/
