Hey!
It's #TweetlessTuesday over in the dark place so I'm re-introducing myself to as many people as I can here.
I'd love to see this place get the numbers and respect it deserves.
Can I get an Echo out there to help me find my former pals from there?
Also: If I'm not following you, echo AND reply?

People using “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” to deter discussion of, teaching about, and protest against racism are not students of the comprehensive #mlk . My father’s dream and work included eradicating racism, not ignoring it.

She served this hospital as a nurse for 20 years. When she became a patient, she experienced anti-Black racism. Not even her years of service counted for something, all because of her skin color. Her name is Connie Scott, a 79yo Black woman. I believe her. This story is so sad 💔

We don't have an insulin shortage
We don't have a housing shortage
We don't have a teacher shortage
We don't have a labor shortage

History of America's treatment of Black people
1619-1865: Enslavement
1865-1965: Jim Crow, Red lining, lynching, & no reparations
1965-2020: Mass incarceration, war on drugs, & still no reparations

On this week's episode of Contempt of Court, I explain my court expansion plan. Not adding 2 or 4 justices, but adding 20. Don't let the bigger number fool you, my plan is not more radical, and it's *less* partisan than the smaller plans.

I only want good things for Sha’Carri Richardson. The way she was pilloried during the last Olympics cycle was absurd and shameful. Completely embarrassing to see grown adults clutch their pearls over an elite athlete smoking a joint. I hope she wins every damn race she enters.

WHO's chief scientist says “the impact of Long Covid is going to be huge. When you’ve had 7 billion people infected, you only have to increase the risk of diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease by a tiny percentage, and you’ve got a huge long-term problem."
But sure, blame remote work.

It’s true that we are in a different phase of the pandemic than in 2020.
However, the phase we are in still involves high levels of death & chronic illness, & locks higher risk people out of society.
The big difference is that now our leaders are getting away with ignoring it.

Today as we give thanks for Memorial Day, let's honor the Black folks from the great state of South Carolina who started it. Imagine if the real history behind our holidays were shared in school, the impact that would have.

Angad Kaur @AngadKaurA 4 part breath can help neutralize negative thoughts & an overactive mind. Eyes closed. Sit or lie down with straight spine, relaxed. Choose your own silent count. For ex; 4 second intervals. Inhale to a count of 4. Hold for a count of 4. Hold for 4. Hold it out for 4. Repeat for 3 to 5 minutes.10:14 PM - May 27, 2023
