After leaving NYC two hours ago, my Amtrak train pulled into New Haven, 81 miles away. I’m begging for our trains in America to go faster than 40.5 mph on our busiest rail corridor in the worlds biggest economy.

This is your reminder that in 2015, #LakeithSmith (a 15-year-old), was sentenced to 65 years in prison for the death of his friend who was murdered by an Alabama police officer. Lakeith is now 23, still in prison, & yes- you read the first sentence correctly.

If possible PLEASE buy your Girl Scout cookies from a brown baby girl. As a former troop leader, the disproportion amount of sales is HUGE! I know it’s tempting to buy from those selling outside of the grocery store, but it’s hard for US to even get those spots.

2017 resolutions: Getting a NO Committee buff.ly/2GctvNa Saying "NO" is VERY hard for me. In 2017 I decided to get a "NO" Committee (the original idea of a No Committee is by Dr. @vtreitler, whom I reference in my post). It worked great! Maybe I should do it again.

Remember when we were told they weren't opposing the teaching of Black history, just "CRT"? And how many dismissed those of us who said these laws were anti-history laws, and anti-Black? Perhaps one day folks will listen to those who know. thedailybeast.com/desantis-b

Dear college students: feeling uncomfortable is not the same as feeling unsafe. Being challenged is not the same thing as being threatened.

A PhD supervisor fully plagiarised their former PhD student dissertation. His French University found him guilty. The sanction? They can't move up the salary scale anymore for the next two years. That's it. challenges.fr/grandes-ecoles

As @SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M,& forced frontline workers to 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating their software😳
