If you didn’t know my former teammates at @NPRCodeSwitch have been covering race, ethnicity and culture for @NPR since 2013 and consistently bringing insight to the beat, then you haven’t been paying attention to vital reporting like this podcast episode👇

232 years ago today, the framers of the US Constitution met here in Philadelphia to sign a founding document that — before making any mention of voting or a president — says an "actual enumeration shall be made" every 10 years. They were referring to the census👇 #ConstitutionDay
2. At country’s founding, the census was not a head count of every person living in US. Constitution explicitly excluded “Indians not taxed.” Those who were counted weren’t counted equally. Constitution called for counting of enslaved people as 3/5ths “of all other persons”👇
3. After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was ratified to require the counting of the "whole number of persons," ensuring the rights of formerly enslaved people👇

Race, ethnicity, gender, Indigeneity & disability systematically structure access to class privilege & are determinants of deprivilege. The excellent essay by @sproudfoot illustrates the cultural, psychological & place-related disorientation that class dislocation can produce.
@sproudfoot But how is class defined now? As articulated by Marx & Engels it was simple & specific: relation to the system of material production. "Working-class" meant wage labour, which by definition meant 1) you were paid to be available for work you were able to do, and …
@sproudfoot … 2) a portion of the value you produced was retained by your capitalist employer, and 3) you had no control over the sale, price, destination etc. of the product, or of the deployment of profit, reinvestment, maintenance of machinery, etc. Your family too was working-class.

At the @SREcoalition Summit, hearing the research results of the absolutely extraordinary @GuilaBen (who you should follow) and Marie Huber, who I'm pretty sure is @_PuellaLudens. Work is on Jewish communal response to #MeToo.
"Survivors overwhelmingly reported that there is a lack of safety and respect in Jewish spaces," both physical & psychological, from rape & other forms of sexual assault to overly intimate touches, overt advances, direct propositions, sexist name calling, vulgar jokes w/innuendo
"Saying that most perpetrators are men is not saying that most men are perpetrators" -@GuilaBen

A short thread on how NOT to shift #culture

1) Weak leadership - enough said.
2) A vision that has been written by a few and adopted by the few that wrote it. It's understood by no-one.
3) A mission that is known by a select group who when questioned, don't know it. The school are certainly none the wiser. It's a mission that impresses from the outside looking in but is meaningless to the inside ones looking out.

Hi, hello, I’m reporting from the media room at JPL for the #InSight #MarsLanding. From now on until it’s over I’m going to keep my Twitter feed clean of anything except landing-related news. I’ll likely do a Q and A on Twitter today after the post-landing press briefing.
Here is my landing timeline:
planetary.org/blogs/emily-la…

You can watch the uncommented feed (just the control room) here: nasa.gov/multimedia/nas…

And the commented feed (with talking heads) here: mars.nasa.gov/insight/timeli…
Julie Werz Chen reports from mission control they've heard from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and are in telemetry lock with both MarCO-A and -B. This is promising for receiving telemetry from InSight via the cubesats live throughout the landing. #InSight #MarsLandingDay

1. Scapegoating immigrants and 'valuating'people based on race/ethnicity is not new. I say this to draw attention to the shame that we haven't evolved past this and to remind that, as Americans, we must stand against the hatred that plagued the lives of many of our own families.
2. Are you aware of your genealogy? Are you familiar with the trials and tribulations experienced by your ancestors when they came to this country? If you turn a blind eye to this hatred because it's targeted at POC - are you aware that European immigrants faced hatred also?
3. My mother and father's families both immigrated from Ireland in the early 1850's - fleeing starvation and oppression to a promise of freedom and opportunity in America. My mother's family first went to CO to take their chance at the Gold Rush.
