Don't listen to rich people: they got that way by taking advantage of other people and playing the system. If you want to live well, be honest and work toward the best outcome that doesn't harm others. Avoid anger and fear and get real about making this a better place--calmly.

We need @GovAbbott to take action NOW to #SaveIvanCantu by granting him a stay before he's executed TODAY at 6pm CST.

Our criminal justice system has failed Ivan Cantu. I'm joined by 150k+ people demanding that Ivan finally gets his fair day in court.

@InspectorNerd @Burr_Iam @FannitaLeggett A man creates a problem and two women fight about it. Classic.

#boycottnike Let Phil Knight know that his personal politics are nothing that Oregonians want to hear about. Stop buying Nike products, and throw away the ones you have.

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧

Wait. If Gorsuch doesn't wear a mask on the bench because he wants control over his own body at all times, he must be pro-choice, right? Right, Neil? #RoeVWade #ProChoice #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

My debt to #bellhooks can’t be measured. My wife and I knew her during our Florida years—she was the kindest, most real, most ethical, warm, exacting, & generous person I’ve ever met—an amazing scholar that drove every discussion about women in America worth having.

@mat_johnson How do you "build out active communities" using a game called Pistol Whip? (uhm, don't answer that.)

@skooks Response from gal who lost a house: Hi. Did you read the whole NYTimes article? The part you quote is a question. He answers it quoting pro-Morganza profs, Rep. Graves, locals. Maybe less hatin' on people who DO pay attention to what is happening and makes an argument FOR us?
