THREAD: This afternoon our former client @KembaSmith visited @NAACP_LDF ‘s office in NY. We assembled our staff in NY & DC to spend time w/this extraordinary advocate & her amazing parents. Elaine Jones & Ted Shaw, our fmr Dir. Counsels championed Kemba’s case were on hand too.
.@KembaSmith ended her visit with us today by sharing this extraordinary news.
So proud of @KembaSmith. Her courage, her vision, her kindness and her commitment to real criminal justice reform. Proud also of our fmr Director-Counsel Elaine Jones for deciding after reading Kemba’s story in (the now defunct) Emerge Magazine, that @NAACP_LDF would help.

Kudos to ⁦@BaltimoreSAO⁩ Marilyn Mosby for taking the time to provide a detailed response to Gov. Hogan’s lazy & cheap attempt to target her for the out of control homicide rate in #Baltimore. Hogan’s playbook is a familiar one. baltimore.cbslocal.com/wp-content/upl…
I remember when then-Mayor O’Malley did the same to SA Pat Jessamy. It’s low-hanging fruit.
And now there’s a refreshed playbook being used against Black women prosecutors elected on a reform platform with a dangerous new tactic - taking away authority over their cases. It’s supposed to suggest incompetence of the Black women prosecutor. And supposed to humiliate her.

No words to describe how much I love the work of this exceptional artist. Also, #MarkBradford is just a wonderful, real human being (sooo much fun), deeply committed to ensuring his work remains relevant to our community. cbsnews.com/news/artist-ma…
Was privileged to spend time with #MarkBradford in his studio recently. Brother from another mother.
This is #MarkBradford’s work in #Baltimore which he launched last year when his work was exhibited at the @TheBMA. baltimoresun.com/entertainment/… A multi-year commitment to after school art programs in the Greenmount neighborhood.

I’d never heard about this before. In case you think it can’t happen. And “60% were U.S. citizens.” washingtonpost.com/news/retropoli…
Note the complicity of major American businesses.
Did not know about the Apology Act. Heartened to see this state-based effort at truth-telling.

I have a former student named Stan*. I’ve been sharing his commentary on Facebook for 3 years. Folks think he’s funny. 🙄 In honor of his recent graduation, I’m going to start positing the stories here. Here’s our very first interaction, 3 years ago. 👇🏾
Stan: Ms. Buddington, you like your hair like that?

Me: Yes...why?

Stan: *walks around me, looking at my head*

Me: *confused*

(Exhibit A: 👇🏾 2016 Hair)
Stan: *goes into his notebook, scrawls something, rips a paper out and hands it to me, with a number on it*

Me: What is this?

*still confused*

#thread Gather round, my children, harken to my tale. So I'm hanging out at a bar full of furries & nursing a bottle of my favorite drink. It's time to begin the story of Date Masamune: epically flamboyant pansexual badass & 16th century Japanese warlord. It's #drunjhistory time!
Alright, so let's get this thing rollin, shall we?

The year: 1591. The place: Kyoto. Toyotomi Hideyoshi- this guy right here- rules most of Japan as imperial regent, and he is *pissed*.
See he's been trying to unify Japan for awhile and drag it out of nearly a century of constant war. His former boss, Oda Nobunaga, died trying to do it. But Hideyoshi is damn near close, and it's almost a done deal, when there's a revolt in the north.

SALAT TIMES AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE SUN
The five daily prayers are an integral part of a Muslim’s life. In order to fulfill our religious obligation, it is important for all Muslims to
know the timings of all the daily prayers.
Praying Fajr, Zuhr and Maghrib prayers in the right time is not a problem in Nigeria, Asr & Isha are the two prayers that are mostly prayed before time in certain periods of the year.Zuhr & Maghrib are prayed on time because the times of “noon” and “sunset” are well defined.
The difficulty arises in determining the time for fajr (dawn) prayer. How do we define fajr in a scientific way? Moreover, how can we explain the difference between “false” dawn and
“true” dawn? I ll try to explains
how to determine Zawal (solar noon),

Neil Lennon and the Celtic managerial position...
Seven League games
Seven League goals
Three 0-0 draws
Four wins
Two wins in injury time
One win in the 87th minute vs 10 man Rangers
One straight forward win (vs St Mirren)
Two Cup games, two very good wins but both times Lennon's Celtic have had to rely on an individual piece of brilliance in the form of 25 yard screamers from James Forrest to break the deadlock
