@tomhucker Hi, there! I'm a Silver Spring resident, and you're one of my reps . I've had natural hair since April 2001, and I'm
wondering where you stand on the #MDCrownAct / #TheCROWNAct?
@tomhucker Several other Silver Spring residents / constituents and I were chatting about it at today's event adn, also, earlier today at the #FitDC5K. (See my earlier tweets.)
@tomhucker: On a somewhat related note, for what it's worth, I've been connecting with my local Maryland electeds and meeting with their offices on a range of local issues. In the interest of transparency ... Wanna know # of days I spent waiting until they responded & met w/ me?
@tomhucker: Mtg with @RepRaskin? 0 days spent waiting. He holds regular open house / office hours. I attended & met with an incredible member of his team who has stuck with Raskin for ages.
@tomhucker: Mtg with @JheanelleW? 0 days spent waiting. She regularly meets & has in-person coffees with constituents to hear our concerns. We had a great chat that covered public health and other issues of interest to Marylanders.
@tomhucker: Mtg with your office: 166 days spent waiting. Initially reached out in Sept 2019. I've been in touch with Ruthy Goldberg, Andrea Nunez (who I'm told has since left), and Dave Kunes. All to no avail re: meeting. (I followed up, too.)
@tomhucker Your team mentioned a joint mtg. w/ staff members from HHS, @aahpmoco and the Latino Health Program? Is that still on? What might be the best way to move that forward?

Good morning, loves! β€οΈ Here are a few wisdom droplets for you: To state the obvious, every member of congress who aided & abetted last Wednesday's attack is a traitor to this country. #NatSec
If you've seen photos & listened to reports from congresspeople who were inside the Capitol during the attack, you know certain Republicans gave rioters pre-attack recognizance tours.
They also first-pumped to cheer attackers on as they trashed the Capitol, tweeted out the location of the fellow congress members' hiding spaces & one literally said (about the mob) "those are my people." Watch this entire video. #NatSec instagram.com/tv/CJ-OkgNAO1Nβ¦
By definition, they require imagination and expanding one's mind. For example, when you see an actor, you're picturing them as the person they're depicting β not solely thinking: "Hey, that's ____!" #StarringRole
Usually, "unwanted" is a dated term to describe an untimed, or unexpected, pregnancy. #SRHR#SexualHealth
Usually, it covers a lot of agency on the part of the person who became pregnant. In other words, someone who is able to become pregnant had a consensual sexual encounter, and that encounter resulted in an unexpected β or "unwanted" β pregnancy.
Not all photos are uploaded to Twitter using the correct specs to optimize display on Twitter. For example ...
Twitter apparently taught its algorithm to find the most interesting / relevant parts of of photos, then display a cropped version of those pics such that the most relevant part shows up as a thumbnail.
We have to stay up. Stay focused. Stay happy. Stay optimistic.
Thank you, @silverbranchus for hosting an outdoor, physically distanced #Oktoberfest event. Spirits need lifting right now, and you're providing that service. #RIPRBG β€
Tonight I restore my soul. π» Tomorrow, I get back to work.
The New York Times did this, back in 2016. Though, with Trump supporters and Duck Dynasty (vis-a-vis shows like Modern Family & Empire). nytimes.com/interactive/20β¦
It's the premise of #BigData. To riff off Aristotle's "give me a child until he is 7, and I will show you the man", in modern times, it's: "Give me your data, and I will show you who I believe you are, and push you in the direction of who I want you to be."
As an example, if you're getting election-related calls, texts, Facebook ads, etc., you're getting them because you're on a list. Data decided which list(s) you should be on.
