So, white centrists, y’all still think kicking all the people of color off stage so you could rally around a 38yo Mayor who can’t seem to win people under 40, black people, or Latinos was a *good* idea?
Asking for a friend.
Sorry. I just continue to think that it is WILD that the people who are most afraid of Bernie DID NOT rally around Warren or Harris.
Sexism. Not the moderates. Not the NeverTrumpers. Y’all couldn’t see it with a woman. Sexism makes people straight dumb.

All right, @BernieSanders was pressed on nuking the filibuster and he did something I think is very clever.
He defended the filibuster, but said “If people want to stand and speak for 8 or 9 hours, they should have the right to do so.”
Now, that leaves him wiggle room...
One thing I’ve discussed a lot with @JosephPatrice is about nuking the *procedural* filibuster, but leaving (or restoring) the “talking” filibuster.
Basically the problem with the filibuster now is that it’s too easy to use. You just say “I’m filibustering” and that’s that.
In the old days, the way it was intended in the Constitution, you literally had to stand there and TALK to filibuster. Mr. Smith Goes To Washington style.
I think it’s an entirely reasonable argument to bring back THAT kind of filibuster, but stop the procedural kind.

Nice. @ewarren isn’t backing down from her claim of what the woman said about Bloomberg, despite @HardballChris incredulity.
She. Believes. The Woman.
When Matthews asked why would he lie, she said “why would SHE lie?”
This is the attitude change we *need.*
Now, when asked why she’s going after Bloomberg and not Bernie, she says Bloomberg (NOT Bernie) is the most dangerous candidate on stage because he’s trying to buy an election.
Principles. These are principles over electoral politics.
And now she’s nuking the filibuster.

Black people, can we talk? Remember when Biden claimed, in the third primary debate, that Black parents needed social workers to come show them how to parent as a solution to the legacy of slavery and segregation. (Thread)
Biden doubled down on those thoughts in the NYT and started peddling more of the debunked myths about academic achievement gaps that research by myself and others seeks to address. google.com/amp/s/m.huffpo…
First he points to the outdated, debunked notion of a 30 million word gap between Black and white children by age 3. See Sperry, Sperry, and Miller (2018) for debunking: doi.org/10.1111/cdev.1…

#Istanbul #Reelection Today- ~6 hrs left to polls closing. High stakes. Hoping for a smooth, Democratic & peaceful process. It will be an intense evening count. I’ll report updates periodically. Reporting on the ground from #Turkey @sibeledmonds
#IstanbulReelection- 39 Districts, 10,560,963 Votes. That’s a lot of votes to count! Down to 2 Mayoral candidates: Ruling Party #AKP candidate Yıldırım vs Main Opposition Party #CHP Candidate İmamoğlu. Polls will close at 5:00 pm here (in ~6 hours).
Over 1/3 of #Turkey’s population lives in #Istanbul. A good chunk of national GDP & many many billion dollars District budget for the elected #Mayor. #AKP lost in mayoral elections of biggest cities: #Ankara, #Izmir & #Antalya, with #Istanbul as the “hottest tamale” TBD today.

3yrs later, her mind's wanderlusts appears intent than ever, to be elsewhere but here; in the present. #Dementia140
Today 3rs ago, Mama buried her best friend all through 11 births, 4(?) miscarriages, to the fading of her memory.
By (4?) I mean known miscarriages.She was really secretive. Sometimes, I still think she is still secretive even by her mind not being here.
