The idea that a white single mother of a bi-racial child is angry about an anti-racism curriculum....in CHARLOTTESVILLE ....So she's suing the school, is too much nonsense for this early in the morning
Also....to go on Fox News with this nonsense within 48 hours of a racist mass shooting is probably a good indicator that thos kid's homelife is hell
Look at what #CRT did to my son!!!!

The @GreenfieldRIV school district fired teacher Kim Morrison - after parents who DIDN'T have students in her class - Complained that she was teaching #CriticalRaceTheory with a worksheet for the YA novel "Dear Martin" by @getnicced
@GreenfieldRIV is one of the whitest school districts in Missouri w/ 7% minority enrollment compared to the state average of 29%. It's also one of the poorest PERFORMING school districts with below Missouri average math/reading and graduation rates. But #CRT is the problem?🤔
Morrison actually taught the award winning book #DearMartin for years and it was never a problem. But thanks to racist fervor over the hoax of #CRT in the classroom the school board did not renew her contract. salon.com/2022/04/13/fir…

Much of the conversation over the last 2 weeks about stand-up comedy & mean comics has mostly revealed how little standup most people consume nowadays. To say most standup is mean or angry is like saying all 90s rap was gangster and violent. Perhaps diversify your comedy diet?
There are plenty of high profile comedians who don't poke fun at their audiences, or really 'punch down' at any particular group. Just there were rappers in the 90's who weren't grossly misogynistic - they may not get the same air play but it existed and was available
I really enjoy John Mulaney's comedy, he literally spends most of his shows making fun of himself. Mike Birbiglia is a fantastic storyteller, same with Jim Gaffigan or early Kevin Hart. All big names, all funny, none of them are particularly 'angry' or punch down

SCOTUS makes history w/ #KetanjiBrownJackson ascending to the bench. However I maintain that the system of nominating & confirming judges to SCOTUS is broken and her exceptional qualifications don't cover up the corruption & malfeasance that placed her recent predecessors there
If a secret ballot of Senators was taken before the hearings , and revealed after today's final vote the results would likely be identical 53-47. Nobody changes thier minds during confirmation hearings, "swing votes" like Ben Sasse are mostly playing at being undecided for TV
McConnell will NOT hold SCOTUS hearings for any future Democratic presidential nominations if the GOP holds the Senate, a precedent that will be followed by ANY GOP Senate leader from now on. SCOTUS is now in a constant state of reputational and constitutional crisis

South Africa doesn't just have a better constitution than the United States (as @ElieNYC recently said on my podcast) but the way they've handled the corruption of Jacob Zuma, the former president, should be the template for the US and Trump
aljazeera.com/news/2022/4/1/…
Zuma's history of corruption and sexual assault has always drawn comparisons to Trump - @Trevornoah has been pointing this out for years - Here's a segment from 2016. But unlike the US the South African government has actually held Zuma accountable
fb.watch/caOpn8hcYX/
Zuma turned himself last summer to serve 15 months for refusing to testify and basically obstruction of Justice (sound familiar) and riots/protests erupted around the country as his supporters thought the charges were Trumped up by state officials bbc.com/news/world-afr…

The entire #KetanjiBrownJacksonHearing has been performance art at a time when #SCOTUS public approval ratings are at an all time low. (SCOTUS public approval is lower than after Bush v Gore 😬). It's bread an circuses to give the court a patina of legitimacy.
The process is broken, Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanagh arguably should not be on the bench. They are only there through the machinations of a GOP Senate leadership that was obsessed with 1) Undermining Obama 2) Ensuring Trump remained in office should his 2020 lawsuits get that far
Even the most casual American voters saw the GOP senate steal a seat from Obama. Millions watched as Kavanagh screamed and pouted to avoid answering questions about his finances, alleged sexual assaults (there were more than 1) and writings on torture during the Bush years

I had a lot of thoughts about #TheBatman - I wanted to love it, but this movie fell far short of what it could be
thegrio.com/2022/03/04/the…
#TheBatman is one of the most talked about and overanalyzed heros in American pop culture. That's why he's had over a dozen films - But that longevity has been earned by updating the character for each generation. That doesn't happen in #TheBatman
Batman is not a right wing fascist nor is he a liberal fighting against the privileged elite. But in a world where millions protested police brutality and racism a rich white guy who beats up random mostly brown folks needs to address that
