Y’all can tell me that @SpikeLeeJoint ‘s Malcolm X shouldn’t have one the Oscar. That is all.

Do people who correct people’s grammatical errors on here actually believe the writer doesn’t know they made them? There is no edit feature. So, are you being helpful or a jerk?
I will admit that I violated my own rule with this and tweeted after my virtual cocktail hour. 😂😂😂😳

When Covid-19 first hit America hard last month, the narrative was that it was the great equalizer, that in such a divided nation, our shared humanity meant we would be equal in our suffering. But those of us who understand racial caste in America knew this could never be true.
While the face of coronavirus in the media has been disproportionately white, race data trickling out shows that the victims, particularly those dying from it, are disproportionately black. So much so that sources in some hospitals say every patient on a vent is black. Here's y.
In Chicago, a city where black people account for less than 30 percent of the population, 70 percent of the people who have died from Covid-19 are black.

Julian Bond said violence is going to school for 12 years and getting 6 years of education. For low-income, disproportionately black and Latino kids, this covid period is going to be known as the lost months that stole the education of kids who already weren’t getting their due.
I pitched in on this @DanaGoldstein @adampopescu piece looking at how for many low-income children the idea of virtual school simply explodes the class divide that always existed.
Also, cable companies SHOULD NOT be refusing to turn on free internet for poor students because their parents owe a past-due balance. That is what happened to a high school student I interviewed in the Bronx, one of the poorest areas in the nation.

"The world’s richest country—armed with some of most highly trained scientists & infectious disease specialists — squandered its best chance of containing the virus’s spread. Americans were left...blind to the scale of a looming public health catastrophe." nytimes.com/2020/03/28/us/…
"The absence of robust screening until it was 'far too late' revealed failures across the government, said Dr. Frieden, former C.D.C. director. Nuzzo, a Johns Hopkins epidemiologist, said the Trump administration had 'incredibly limited' views of the pathogen’s potential impact."
"Dr. Margaret Hamburg, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said the lapse enabled 'exponential growth of cases.'"

This is why I think conservatives messaging against socialism is going to be hard, and maybe even a disaster. Here's Rubio laying out the case against socialism by discussing "free health care" and "free education." Those are winning, popular issues! /1
More to Rubio "the core of Marxism" is the promise "we're going to provide you security with free" programs. Promise of freedom through economic security was #actually the core of the New Deal, which remains very popular.

Tougher terrain for them to fight on than you'd think. /2
I keep coming back to this @michelleinbklyn piece about how the Dems plan of saying "Trump, he's way outside the bounds of normal conservatives" completely backfired on them. The GOP: "Sanders is so far outside your normal Democratic politician." Yeah! /3 slate.com/news-and-polit…

Det är svårt att föreställa sig om det som sker i Kina. Uppenbarligen samlar de in dissidenter. All internet trafik är spärrad utom de källor som kommer via den kinesiska staten. Det som pågår i Kina angående #Coronavirus är en krigshandling av främmande makt.
Det här viruset är
gjord av människan. Ryssland, Indien, Taiwan vet att viruset innehåller HIV.

Därmed är skiten tillverkad av människan. Det sägs att den slår hårdare mot kinesiska män än mot andra raser, vilket betyder att denna "attack" kommer ej från deras egna led.

Fortsättning följer.

People ask me why I bother conversing with those who are anti Israel or who condemn Israel with no real understanding of the situation. 1- I believe in people & I'm an optimist 2- it's hard to fault people when the education materials they're given, the sources they have, the ppl
...they follow are disingenuous, biased & have an anti Israel agenda. Colleges teach a 1sided narrative. Language used is extreme. The conflict is put into terms that resonate with ppl outside of the region (race/power) & their innate desire to support oppressed ppl is exploited
& unless they hear other POV, it will only get worse. No, it doesn't often help, but sometimes it does. Sometimes people listen & do some exploring on their own. Sometimes they look into history & start to ask questions. Sometimes they follow others who show other information

Remember Scott Walker? His attack on teachers and public sector unions, the capital protests, his narrow recall victory, his Presidential run? He's in the fight for his political life and I don't see people talking about it much #here: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
If Walker goes down—to a school superintendent no less—it would be one of the most symbolic upsets. Maybe more than even Cruz loosing to Beto. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Also a new governor would be able to help roll back the kinds of voting rights attacks that cost the Dems the state in 2016: motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
