'@davidmweissman asked this question -
"For those who tried to warn us about a Trump Presidency, did you guys expect it to be this bad, or did you know it would be this bad?" --- We knew & I have the tweets to prove it - see the thread, starting in 2011.

"The Space Between Stimulus & Response" -- Reading @gtmumford's "The Mindful Athlete" - "Think about the eye of a hurricane..No matter how intense the storm, that calm, blue center is always there." Metaphor depicts the space between stimulus & response. amazon.com/Mindful-Athlet… "We all have that quiet center within us" -- "Mindfulness reconnects us to this center space, where we fully experience the present moment & have access to the transcendent wisdom that's often associated with conscious flow." @gtmumford

Things that make me go Hmmmmmm - Fans who believe everything in the newspaper & think they know the real story - GTFO! Time to set the record straight on this non-story that became a story in the summer of 2017 - It started with @IanBegley tweet that was based off a tweet by @12upSport - I'll always SMDH at Ian giving weight to this non-story by tweeting it on his platform

One of the most inhumane stories ever -- 1962 "Reverse Freedom Rides" - Southern segregationists come up with a scheme to retaliate against northern liberals b/c of the Freedom Rides of 1961 by tricking 200+ Blacks to move from the South to the North.

features.wgbhnews.org/reverse-freedo… Thanks @NPRCodeSwitch for teaching me something I didn't know - "Reverse Freedom Rides" of 1962 "where Southern segregationists decided to strike back, using unsuspecting black families as pawns" b/c of Freedom Rides conducted in South in 1961. npr.org/2019/12/10/786…

'@JCMacriNBA asked if I had a reaction to today’s news that I'd be willing to share?" Of course I do. I haven't watched last 3 @nyknicks games, but when I saw the score I watched to see if they quit on @CoachFizdale - They didn't - They just got their ass kicked. {Thread coming} @JCMacriNBA @nyknicks @CoachFizdale RE Coaching change - earlier in year I was asked should @CoachFizdale be fired -- my response was "I'll never answer a ? like this - Only someone who is intimately involved with an organization can make that determination."

John Biewin produced 14-part podcast series "Seeing White" on @SceneOnRadio is so enlightening. As a child of the segregated South, the issues surrounding race have fascinated me since my teen years. This series gets my highest recommendation - sceneonradio.org/seeing-white/ '@SceneOnRadio's "Seeing White" - Part 3 Episode "Made in America" is a master class on race as a social construct - sceneonradio.org/episode-33-mad…

Knowledge - From @MichaelEDyson's book "Tears We Cannot Stop"- "The historian Edward E. Baptist reminds us that "FUCK" is from the Old English word that means to strike or beat, and before that, to plow and tear open." He adds - "The cops have fucked the lives of black folk." In @MichaelEDyson's book "Tears We Cannot Stop - A Sermon to White America" he references a controversial graduation speech he made @UNC in 1996 - "Is America Still A Dream?:" reddit.com/r/Rhetoric/com…
