Why it's wrong to tell Trump supporters to self-censor about Kamala's sexual history.
1. We don't all take in information the same way. Middle class women believe we are the standard audience. WE ARE NOT. 1/2. Men, minorities, younger voters: do not presume the right to speak for them.
They get to critique Kamala in their own way. BUTT OUT! 2/

@RonDeSantisFL has done the country an enormous service by casting out AP African American Studies from Florida. So I'm going to return the favor by examining the curriculum in some detail. 🧵
My 1st conclusion, having read the whole thing, is that this is plain, old-fashioned BLACK STUDIES.
Now, Black Studies was a child of the 60s, much like the Black Power movement, with which it is closely associated. It's out of fashion on college campuses, but is still alive.

I'd like to remind everyone that, whatever politicians say, the AP course in question is AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES, not HISTORY.
"What's the difference?" you might ask. The difference is huge.
Let me start by showing you a list of the AP courses currently available to American (and foreign) students.

By the way, it turns out that Hillandale Farms, where the massive fire took place Saturday, is not really the 4th largest supplier of eggs in the country. It is owned by the BIGGEST supplier of eggs, Cal-Maine Foods.
Never forget: South Africa is the inspiration and model for what is being done in the US. Once wealthy and high functioning, its power grid is now on the brink of collapse, as is the corrupt ANC-run government that ruined it.
Government corruption literally ruined the power supply in South Africa. And when the CEO of the power company tried to get to the bottom of it, they poisoned his coffee in an attempt to assassinate him. eebi.co.za/articles/post/…

I appreciate all the engagement and new followers I've picked up from doing some deep dives into the Jackson, MS #watercrisis.
We have to learn to "read" these partly real/partly fictionalized stories for what they are: an attempt by one party to change how we see the world.
Maybe Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is competent in some respects, but he's utterly failed to keep the water flowing, despite repeated efforts by the Feds and the State to make him.
And the White House is rewarding him by making him a hero. He's not a hero. This is all politics.

@plzbepatient Yesterday we heard the water plant was broken, irreparably. They said water was gone "indefinitely," and they'd need $1B to fix it.
Today, the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers showed up, turned the system on, and it seems to be working fine. Can't make this up.🤔 @plzbepatient They "reassigned" the head of Public Works. You'll see he had nothing resembling an engineering background.
