Hey @nyknicks, do your fans and players know about Jim Dolan’s refusal to voice support for #BlackLivesMatter and to condemn systemic racism and police brutality? Because let’s be honest, you can’t be worried about ticket sales, no one wants to watch this team. #knicks #nba Image
Seriously, could James Dolan be any more tone deaf?
A basketball team. In NYC. Is going to “both sides” the issue of systemic racism. Unbelievable. @nyknicks
No wonder no free agents want to play for the @nyknicks. Can’t wait to hear what @RjBarrett6 and his teammates think about this.

As Republicans perform mental gymnastics to convince us that it’s their constitutional duty to fill RBG’s seat with a lifetime SCOTUS appointment a month away from the election, citing precedent from the 1800s, it should be noted that a SCOTUS seat has NEVER been filled: ...
1/11
1) this close to Election Day;
2) during an actual election while people are already voting;
3) after the same Senate Majority Leader said just 4 years ago after a Justice died (over 250 days before the election) that the American people should decide after the election; 2/11
4) by a President who has been impeached;
5) by a President who willingly accepted the help of a foreign adversary to win his election;
6) by a President who perjured himself in sworn written answers to the Special Counsel;
7) by a President who then commuted the sentence 3/11

I have been screaming this for 4 years and yet there are still progressives who don’t want to vote for Biden.

Barrett means a deeply conservative 6-3 majority for years. Reproductive rights? Gone. Laws to prevent and mitigate climate change? Nope. DACA dreamers? Goodbye. #SCOTUS
Healthcare? Not if this Supreme Court has anything to say on the issue.
Commonsense gun reform? LOL

My take: Healthy debate is important and should be welcomed if we want to improve our own party and the lives of Americans. But the Supreme Court (and the rest of the federal judiciary), climate change, Covid response, DACA, etc. are also really important and at stake this Nov.
Look, I wanted Liz Warren to be the nominee; however, there is too much at stake for spite votes and/or non-votes. The Supreme Court is too important and will have long-lasting ramifications for women and minorities in this country. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
Politically, I align more with Warren, Sanders, the Squad, and Markey, and want to see the party head in that direction, just not at the expense of 4 more years of Trump and a GOP Senate. That doesn’t mean criticism should be silenced, far from it. But on Nov. 3rd, we must unify.

The Venn diagram of people who protested wearing masks with assault rifles as an infringement of their freedom and people who are currently fine with stormtroopers without name tags or badges throwing protesters into unmarked vans is one giant circle.
Also included in this circle are proponents of the 2nd Amendment.

Now that Disney is reopening its theme parks to the general public, I wonder whether they’ll populate the Haunted House ride with the actual ghosts of those who died from COVID-19 after visiting.
Subject to waiver and release signed upon entering the park. Read the fine print.

You mischaracterized my logic. And the reason for that is you don’t want to acknowledge systemic racism. If you did, you’d concede that, all other factors being equal between a white child and a black child, the black child faces additional obstacles merely due to his skin color.
*her or his skin color
That is not to say that this white child has not faced any injustices or is to blame. But not all injustices carry the same weight as centuries of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, etc. based on the fundamental premise that Black people are inferior to white people.
