THANK YOU @ewarren
[Rips up long piece on Bloomberg's potential judicial picks]

This is still better.
Democratic voters right now: "YAY!"

Democratic candidates who are not Sanders or Warren: "So, Mike, can I get a donation?"

I’m sure some people think there is a lot of talk about Coronavirus. I’m frankly surprised there’s not more.
Italy sounds completely overwhelmed. That’s looking like us I two weeks. The President is continuing to downplay the threat, which will get more people sick.
People aren’t good with probabilities, statistics, really any kind of math. People are *shockingly* ignorant about basic biology. A disturbing number of people still walk around like it’s 1220 and think we still don’t really know “why people get sick” beyond “God wills it.”
And even people who DO understand are more worried about appearing “paranoid” or “gullible” or something, instead of risking being overly cautious. Like there’s going to be a big “I told you so” prize if somehow things aren’t as bad as they look like they’re going to be.

A piece of mine was quoted in the @mailandguardian by a South African history professor making a point about what Bernie could learn from black South Africans. It’s an interesting argument.

The money line to me: “Many black people aspire to more inclusive capitalism, not less of it. Economic power is seen as the path out of white oppression”
Now, while I am far from rich, I have enough money that, when I was broke I thought that getting as much money (and Harvard degrees) as I have now would “buy me out of oppression.”
It did not. It does not. Money does not make the white man leave you alone.

Oh my goodness... is that... @JoyAnnReid’s MUSIC AT SEVEN O’CLOCK???

Good look, @MSNBC!
Already paying dividend: she directly asked a Sanders surrogate why Bernie skipped Selma... which I’m still shocked he did... and it’s exactly the kind of question that gets asked when you put black people on TV.
She closed it out with a homage to @HardballChris. Class class class all the way.
#PMJoy!!

It’s probably a good time to remember that the 2002 SARS outbreak killed 774 people across 37 countries and it had a 10% mortality rate. This one looks less deadly, but also looks ripe to — and actively is — going global. on.ft.com/2u6G7zV
Umm, any of y'all have room in your bunker? The Chinese government was withholding the severity of this outbreak & transmission capability, and the number of coronavirus cases has exploded😷

#NOW #PolyUniversity - @hkpoliceforce urges protesters to surrender or they will arrest them by force including LETHAL FORCE. Police warns protesters "Time is running out" as they have been tolerated by the society for long. #HongKongProstests #HongKong #HongKongPolice
Meanwhile on telegram channel, #PolyU protesters vow to defend the campus until the very end - probably the last university stronghold - because they think it'll be almost impossible to reenter the campus if they retreat, which makes it harder to block cross harbour tunnel again.
#BREAKING #PolyU: @hkpoliceforce's armored trucks approached protesters and burning objects. One of them was then set ablaze by Molotov cocktails thrown by protesters. Literally frightening though it shall be put off very soon after it retreated. #HongKongProtests #HongKong

What is JUSTICE?

It does not contain the sub-categories “natural justice” and “social justice”. These ideas are OPPOSED.

NATURAL JUSTICE is what we TRADITIONALLY mean by Justice.

SOCIAL JUSTICE is a DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION of Justice.
That is, the aim of Social Justice is to ABOLISH Justice and to replace it with another thing.

Social Justice is anti-Justice.

Social Justice reputidates Justice, because it aims to replace Justice, something natural, with itself, a social construct.
Justice in objective. It is the same for all, everywhere.

Social Justice is—in the ancient formula—“a regarder of persons”. It needs to know WHO you are before it can “give Justice.” WHAT YOU DID is secondary or even irrelevant.
