Tom, your tweets are truly only comparable to the steadfast leadership of Robert Gould Shaw as he led the Massachusetts 54th into battle.

Your heroism here will not soon be forgotten. May you both go down in history for your courage together.
“Actually when you think about it, I’m kind of like Fredrick Douglas here”
That civil war reference pissed him off.

From his speech tonight.
Unless I’m mistaken private industry has been pretty proactive here. Trump can’t compel companies or sporting events to shut down. Someone ask Brian what response would satisfy him.
It’s an honest question. Someone ask @brianstelter what level of action he would like to see taken here to contain this. What would satisfy him.

What more racist Tom? My joke or you taking credit for what black voters did in South Carolina... You've almost figured out the point. *Almost.
Tom Nichols has magically stumbled into figuring it out. It's a miracle.
Reminder - Tom Nichols took credit for the work of Jim Clyburn and black voters in South Carolina by asserting it was his tweets that got Biden the win and not him.. But sure.

Yes Tom, it was definitely your tweets and not African American voters that get the credit here.
Tom Nichols raises a black gloved fist in the air and leads the charge. Locked arm in arm with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, whom he lovingly refers to as “My brother’s keeper.”

“We did it guys.”
Kind of wonder how rich white northeasterners taking credit for the actual votes and work of southern African American voters will go over here.

When you really think about it - after reviewing all pertinent historical facts - you have to be some kind of stupid to think that the British Empire simply “gave up” on controlling America when they surrendered at Yorktown.

War is but one of many means to control and subjugate.
There a reason we, for all intents and purposes, had no relations of substance with Britain until America’s gilded age in the early 1900s when the first female member of Parliament, Nancy Astor, reintroduced America’s tycoons to their loyalist, title holding cousins.
Astor herself was an American socialite who married Waldorf Astor, who himself was born in America but raised in England and spent his life dedicated to its crown and old guard nobility.

Just a reminder that as good a movie as *Glory* remains 30 years after its initial release, it is not a history of Col. Robert Gould Shaw, the 54th Mass. and the battle of Fort Wagner, which was fought #OTD in 1863.

It's a Hollywood movie.
Here are a few examples of where Hollywood parts from history in *Glory*:

1. Shaw was not at home in Boston when he received word that he had been offered commission of the 54th. He was in camp in Virginia and struggled over his decision.
2. The regiment lacked nothing during its training. They had weapons and uniforms almost from day one. They slept in barracks and not tents. Gov. Andrew supplied the regiment with whatever it needed.

Next month the Hollywood movie *Glory* will hit selected theaters for its 30th anniversary. It's worth seeing on the big screen. It's true that Glory is the only movie to date that is about the black men who served in Union regiments during the Civil War. That said...
...a good case can be made that the movie is really about the regiment's colonel, Robert Gould Shaw, who was played by Matthew Broderick. The movie is largely about Shaw's struggle to overcome his racist assumptions to a point where he could bond with his men.
Think of the scene in which Shaw tears up his pay voucher in solidarity with his men who learn they are to receive lesser play compared to white soldiers as well as the scene in which the camera pans back and forth between Shaw and Trip during the latter's whipping.

1/ Frustrated and stuck on the @MBTA? Here’s a thread for your morning commute, and a reminder of why the transit system’s main funding source has fallen far short of expectations:
2/ The @MBTA has relied on the “penny on the sales tax” since 2001. At the time, the state thought sales tax revenue would continue to grow by 3 to 8% per year as it had. In 2007, 3% was still “worst case scenario”.
3/ Actual growth of sales tax has, in fact, averaged 1.5% — half what leaders expected. This is partly because of changes in what people buy. Further, the “penny on the sales tax” portion that the @MBTA gets doesn’t include meals.

THREAD re: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), World Anti-Communist League (WACL), 'Feathers of Condor,' Committee to Free Afghanistan (CFA), and Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN) led by Yaroslav Stetsko, a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator+war criminal. 1/??
The ABN, founded in 1946 by the S.Bandera-led faction of the Org. of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), was soon, if not from the get-go, sponsored by British intelligence until the early 1950s. B's deputy Stetsko led the ABN til he died in 1986. 2/??
After the CIA (which sponsored a rival postwar breakaway faction of OUN-B led by Lebed and Hrinioch) convinced MI6 to dump Bandera, Stetsko et al, the ABN leader went to Taiwan in 1955 where he allied his "Bloc" with the newly founded Asian People's Anti-Communist League (APACL).

#Leadership requires people to stick with you through thick and thin.Leadership is the ability to rally people not for a single event,but for year. In business,leadership means that customers will continue to support your company even when you slip up." #StartWithWhy @simonsinek
"Great leaders, in contrast, are able to inspire people to act. Those who are able to inspire give people a sense of purpose or belonging that has little to do with any external incentive or benefit to be gained." #StartWithWhy by @simonsinek
"After September 11, there were customers who sent checks to Southwest Airlines to show their support. One note that accompanied a check for $1,000 read, “You’ve been so good to me over the years, in these hard times I wanted to say thank you by helping you out.”#StartWithWhy
