Nathan J. Wade… thank you for your service. Thank you for stepping aside in order for Fani Willis to complete the job she started. Thank you for taking risks against this corrupt and dangerous man. Thank you for putting our democracy first.

I’ve NEVER seen THE KNEELING MAN displayed like this anywhere—let alone the oldest bookstore in the UK!
Thank you, Hatchards. This means more than words can say.
And I love that it’s in General History because Black History IS general history ✊🏽

And Netanyahu and Hamas do NOT want peace or a 2 state solution because they lose purpose and power. Without Hamas Netanyahu wouldn't be in power and vice versa. They need each other as enemies

RobPalmerIRL (he/him/his) @RobPalmerIRLThis is true, we really don't know what's going on behind the scenes, and sloganeering isn't gong to work. It's true that everybody wants peace. it's also true that Hamas and Netanyahu both must take responsibly for their actions.07:02 PM - Nov 27, 2023

Today I learned that after no fault divorce was legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%🤯
The "strong 1950s family unit" that GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy
But maybe that's GOP's goal?

I'm going to "civic tech" everyone to death, like someone who has a new crush and keeps working them into the conversation, BUT...
Spoutible is the EMBODIMENT of "civic tech," technology specifically designed to improve humanity, not devolve it.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyI am proud we have been able to do so much more with far less resources, while keeping the lights on. There are some folks who would like to see Spoutible die like Pebble, but that isn't going to happen.07:04 AM - Oct 25, 2023

When others attempt to define you, always remember; there is quite literally no one just like you. We are undefined because we change daily.

I hardly have the words for how deeply meaningful it is to take the stage in a place that has featured so many people I’ve long admired—including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the famous photograph taken of the balcony of Memphis's Lorraine Motel just moments after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., one man is kneeling down beside King, trying to staunch the blood from his fatal head wound with a borrowed towel. That man, Marrell McCollough, was a repres..

So here’s a name everyone needs to know: Major Willie Merkerson Jr., Retired. He’s a close friend of my dad’s. He’s also a hero who’s receiving a long overdue honor.

“[T]he bus appeared in the rearview mirror and eased up to the stop. Mac hugged Walter tight and grabbed his bag, clutching the ticket the army had sent him….
He dared not look back at Walter. He didn't want his father to see him wracked with weeping.”

More than six years of interviews with my father about a lifetime of secrets. Sometimes, it’s hard to imagine the scope of this, much less convey it to others.
But BBC World Service’s Lives Less Ordinary with Mobeen Azhar captures it.

When I hear people bitch about how they miss this or that about Trump I am really glad I can remember more than what has happened in the last week or two. I enjoy remembering beyond what the news tells me even when it doesn't remind me about the things that aren't the economy over and over.

From 1940-1980:
•Wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax
•0 of them went broke from taxation
•0 of them left USA
•All remained exceedingly wealthy
•Manufacturing boomed
•AND we also had the strongest middle class growth in US History
Let's do that again. Stop protecting billionaires. Start taxing them.
