It's really easy to call for non-criticism of some candidates in the primary when your rights aren't on the line.

I'm having a lot of private convos right now re: candidates & race.

And if racism is something you'll let slide on a candidate, racism is something you'll let slide
And I'll add that if you care about turnout, you have to inevitably account for the fact that POC are the backbone of the party.

And racist history in a candidate WILL depress turnout.

Think FOR THE WHOLE of humanity right now, not just who you personally like.
And if you do, you'll easily recognize that the only candidate who can unify EVERYONE is Elizabeth Warren.

Every other candidate carries a serious risk.

She. Does. Not.

Asking me if I’ll vote for Bloomberg when I am trying to talk to you about the serious impact of stop and frisk on POC during the time I lived there is a sign of your obvious unwillingness to consider the harm he’s caused.

Don’t ask me again. You know what you’re doing. So do I.
One other thing: imagine the most invasive TSA pat down you’ve ever had. Maybe your crotch gets grabbed, or your boobs. Maybe you’re asked to spread your legs while they check your thighs.

Now imagine that happening every day on your way to school or work, randomly, anywhere.
Now imagine that you were powerless to stop it and it was your entire life, day in, day out, for 12+ years.

Crotch grabbing, spread legs, being touched everywhere, no matter where, for no reason.

Now imagine everyone around you saying: vote for the guy who made that happen.

This is plainly going to be an evergreen tweet between now and November.

I took at 24 hour break from Twitter because I couldn't tolerate it any longer, and it took all of my willpower not to wipe my account overnight, and now here are liberal white folks at it again at 7:28 am.
Maintaining optimism in saving our democracy in 2020 by nominating a candidate that will turn out the vote in every community is becoming impossible, and it's not because of Trump.

It's because of white liberals who don't seem to understand that the nominee MATTERS for turnout
Only white people would ask POC to line up and vote for a nominee who stopped and frisked more than 600,000 people of color in a single year for NO REASON.

Imagine being asked to vote for a nom who did that because "vote blue no matter who."

I'd want to stay TF home.

People, I argued with my dad to vote for Carter from the backseat of an Oldsmobile station wagon when I was FIVE.

Telling me to vote blue no matter who when I am trying to explain to you that there are SERIOUS issues of race and gender at stake in this primary IS SILENCING.
I've been voting blue no matter who for as long as I could vote.

Your willingness to create false equivalencies among candidates while we're still in the primary is *part of the problem.*

I'm serious about this. Lives are on the line.
Go talk to your neighbors who voted Trump about voting blue no matter who.

And in the interim, listen to those of us who are deep in the issues for the candidates this primary and *shouting* about what's at stake with some of them.

IT DOES MATTER.

Until now, the only SEO space where AMP was kind of "mandatory" was on news: if you want to appear on the "Top stories" box, you kind of need to have your articles to use AMP. You can appear there withouth AMP, but you don't get the same visual benefits #AMP #SEO .
Now Google is bringing "Stories" (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Stories, etc.) to search results. They just announced it at #ampconf (see ) #AMP #SEO
This means that for certain kind of queries (by now: travel, and later also gaming, movies, tv and fashion) the first result will get another "special box" called "Visual Stories" where you can only appear using not only AMP, but AMP stories #AMP #SEO

Now: Easy to Fool? Journalism in the Age of Deepfakes with @pcheung630, @jeremygilbert, @kellymcb and Matthew Stamm of Drexel University. #SXSWDeepfakes
There have been synthetic media almost since the beginning of "media," notes @jeremygilbert. Heroic photos of Lincoln, for example, were toyed with to make him look good. #SXSWDeepfakes
Nowadays. some videos can't even be proof that something happened, says @jeremygilbert. Deepfakes are a small subset of synthetic media. They're the ones generated with AI. #SXSWDeepfakes #SXSW19

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Read. This. Thread.
It's gutting. Pain & suffering caused by #racism is a layer of daily fear, misery & danger white people can't imagine, even as they perpetuate it.

This thread tells white people what to do to disrupt racism.

Do it. All whites benefit from racism. Change it.
It's a fact that most white Americans have no black friends, follow no black writers, activists, influencers on social media, read no books by black people.

White people can't disrupt #racism without knowing the breadth/impact of it and how we white people benefit from it.
Thus far not one white person I have asked "name a book by a black writer you've read in the past month or even year" has had an answer.

But I have been blocked for asking the question.

Y'all are proving my points about racism. And underscoring the need to start here, now.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
