Another story in which only white men are interviewed when the party is women & POC. This is journalistic malpractice--this clickbait headline is utterly meaningless. As is this wordy screed.

Bernie Sanders, the Teflon Candidate, Faces Sudden New Tests nytimes.com/2020/02/22/us/…
Continually turning to voices that do not represent either the party or the electorate is frankly ridiculous and a waste of both space and time. I read this entire piece waiting for the insight to kick in. There was none. What is the point, then?
Plus--because this piece has me really po'd for it's tone-deafness--the SINGLE voter who is quoted, in the final line, is a 64 yr old retiree waiting to hear Biden speak in Iowa. Biden. In Iowa. In a piece with a Feb 21 dateline. smdh

Constantly referencing races that never actually happened is just not smart. 1968 was an anomalous election: three candidates (George Wallace won all the Southern states), two VPs vying for their respective parties, a war in play. Nothing comparable to 2020. Nothing.
The 1972 election was nothing like 2020. McGovern lost in a landslide. LANDSLIDE. Because running weak candidates against sitting presidents has never worked in US history.
The election pundits should look at is 1976. Carter was the weakest Dem prez in modern US history with a national crisis in play--the hostage crisis, Mideast powder keg, oil crisis with folks lined up at gas stations. Reagan bulldozed him with charisma and change. Look at THAT.

No one is holding it against Bernie that Russia favors him. But shouldn't Bernie have gotten out in front of this, since he's known for a month? It should've been a data point in the debate--it's about our elections. If we'd known about 2016 in 2016, Hilllary would be president.
Exactly 2yrs ago to the day, Bernie said Hillary "could have done more on Russian meddling." So it's confusing how that was his message 2yrs ago but not now. We need as much info as we can get to protect our election--since Trump keeps saying it's a hoax.

Bernie is the frontrunner. There's an obligation to keep voters informed. Whether it's about your taxes,your health or being targeted by Putin, be transparent. That's the opposite of Trump and that's what Americans want. Trump keeps lying about this. Let's not help him with that.

What on earth are you talking about?
When did Bernie Sanders become a woman of color?
You are responding to a tweet about Bernie lying about releasing his medical records. Get better at your trolling.
I am so flipping sick of sanctimonious men
who troll in Bernie's name--and so is Bernie. Misrepresenting, smearing, lying--it's really crap behavior and meant to be divisive and cause dissension. When you see it, name and call it out.
Men like @ZyriabBulerias who has been trolling me for weeks do a lot of damage on here. It's frankly disgusting. How creepy stalkery do you have to be to change your name to be about me?

5am thoughts: One of the challenges for men in #leadership positions in #tech who want to increase #inclusion and #diversity in our orgs, is that first we need to first recognize our own #privilege before knowing what conscious actions to take in our orgs & company-wide... 1/14
First, credit to my colleague @bjohnso5y. Her post on how to be a better #ally for #womenintech emphasized the mechanism of #recognition (e.g. crediting women for their ideas in public spaces). The goal of better #allyship inspired this thread... 2/14

In the sphere of political debate, you’ll often hear white people (especially men) arguing they don’t have privilege and don’t get special treatment. "Everything’s a meritocracy!" "Nobody 'gave' me anything!" - Nothing to see here, move along… 3/14

#Racism and #WhiteFragility

Important question to raise.


Please read this entire thread, and watch the youtube clips. (Yes, I have watched all, and three times now). This is important if we are going to overcome our internal racism.
Animus is NOT a required component in racism.
#Racism is by-product of #institutionalpower.

#WhiteFragility preserves 'order' whether or not intended.
Important to remember.
#WhitePrivilege, #InstitutionalRacism manifests sometimes in the form of blaming the blacks. It becomes 'code word bonding' and wittingly or unwittingly goes to preserve the status quo. Knowingly or otherwise, it is #WhiteFragility.

White supremacy is gendered. Race is gendered. Colorism is gendered.

1/
Today's society is an outgrowth of slave plantation life where wealthy white men held the most power, enslaved African women & girls held the least & "white womanhood" was constructed to justify the rape of Black women and violence against Black men. Only WW were "women."

2/2
It's a lot to unpack in a thread. I don't have the energy rn

(1/11) When I say..."The people closest to the pain, should be the closest to the power, driving & informing the policymaking..." THIS is what I mean. (A) When I wanted to break cycles of #poverty by strengthening pathways to #graduation, preventing #dropout #MA7
(2/11) for expectant & #parenting #teens, (still the #1 reason girls drop out, even with unplanned pregnancies on the decline) I invited them to the table to share their stories, struggles & to inform the #BPS policy we developed to better support them.
(3/11) (B) When I wanted to better understand why we were seeing an increase in #bicyclist & motor vehicle collisions, I contacted @bostonbikeunion I invited them to share their stories & struggles, 4 hrgs later, we had a crash data report & the 1st sideguard ord. in the country
