Our local @uwwashtenaw is holding a 21 Day Equity Challenge, and I'm participating! Here are my thoughts for a (belated) Day 1: https://t.co/x8gbqYhD0D #Unitedforequity

@goodreads @PaddyPadmanabha The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson

We're seeing a rise in anti-Semitism and hate crimes.

We saw a child run over for being Latina.

We've seen people stabbed because they're Jewish.

We've seen people assaulted because they're Muslim.

If there was ever a time to unite against bigotry and racism, now is the time.

@memesweep I'm not against crying if you are legit moved by feelings. But apologizing for feelings is the not ok part. it's almost 2020- women are allowed to emote in public.

[arika.lycan @ArikaLycan]

Why are all the women candidates ending by asking for forgiveness for being too strong-willed? Not. a. Fan. "Sorry I'm so intense, I'm just really passionate..." Own it and go with it! Don't apologize for being legit candidates with strong opinions. #DemDebates

@choo_ek Or What. Let's work to make sure it's not a MAGA hat or a KKK hood.

SNAP is our country’s most effective anti-hunger initiative. The USDA’s cynical new rule does nothing to close the income inequality gap and instead threatens to take food away from millions of Americans. House Democrats will not be silent. #HandsOffSNAP https://t.co/m8DDWqrZqo

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

The media’s flawed formula for “electability” has pushed aside women and candidates of color.

Our party’s diversity is our strength, and it’s a shame that we’re headed for a December debate without a single person of color.

@QasimRashid If only I could have vote for two... the Dad Jokes were a close second. :)
