BREAKING: In light of Biden's victory the Trump admin is fast tracking the Oak Flat Land Exchange in Ariz to deliver the land, & all the sacred cultural sites of the Apache, to mining giant Rio Tinto before the new admin takes office. Media, DM me for scoop/footage/photos.

Just wait for someone to invent Trumpopoly. Allows you to borrow from Russian banks, dodge taxes, declare bankruptcy, then borrow from German Banks, steal from Community Chest, etc... Watch out for that "Treason" card.

We would like to get at least 100 books in the homes of FACE children by the time they go into Kindergarten. Dollywood Foundation Imagination Library is helping with this goal but families need more books and would appreciate your support! #PATCON20 booksbythebushel.com/FACE202…

Imagine 6 American Muslims arrested for a plot to "overthrow the government and kidnap a governor" and not using the word "terrorism" to describe it.

Amazon should at least make me breakfast after all these late night rendezvous where I touch the screen just the way it likes.

Nineteen years ago today, I was clerking for a federal judge in St. Louis. I still vividly remember evacuating the courthouse, anxious for any and all news about what was happening in New York, then Virginia, and then Pennsylvania.

To the political folks in Missouri—stop referring to me, my family, + my community as “outstate.” It’s disrespectful. You’re othering rural Missourians + it’s an immediate signal to me and everyone else that you’re from the city. This has been a public service announcement.

Just watched a two-hour focus group about American politics. Here's a few thoughts about it, in no particular order. 1) Twitter is not the real world. Twitter is not the real world. Twitter is not the real world. Don't believe me? Go talk (or listen) to some voters. [Thread.]

In general, we should start by talking and thinking about slavery in America the way we talk about the holocaust in Europe.
"No one would ever hold a wedding in Auschwitz. Plantations should be treated the same way. They should become physical reminders of what we’re capable of when we dehumanize others." It's time we turn all the remaining plantations into slavery museums melmagazine.com/en-us/story/…

Good point.
Activation is not calling out - but, as my favorite editor says, that may be a distinction without a difference to protestors. It also may be a provocation.

One question I've gotten on this is should Democrats be willing to say they won't pass a stimulus bill that doesn't tie unemployment insurance, and maybe SNAP, to actual economic conditions? Yes. Absolutely. Some things are worth fighting for. vox.com/2020/5/28/21271120/h…
