I'm no political scientist, but it does strike me that a guy who negotiates by giving stuff up and and getting nothing in return probably wouldn't make a good leader of a legislative body

Good morning from Richmond, Virginia, where Democrats just nominated @JennMcClellanVA to be our first Black woman in Congress with a resounding 84% of the vote!

[Sally Hudson @SallyLHudson]

Don't get lost in the zeros of @GovernorVA's big budget plans. $100M in bonuses for ~100K Virginia teachers is $1,000 per teacher. That's not a raise. It's not even inflation. https://t.co/HK83esHvlr

Hypersexualization, fetishization, and racism often go hand in hand. I hope people pay attention to this as this story unfolds

Appreciate what @MGspeaksUP has to say about sorority life (as I proudly attend #klc2021!) @KappaKappaGamma

You haven’t met all of the people who will love you, yet. What a beautiful sentiment.

@TaisonBell Honey Nut Cheerios are the most versatile! You can add fruit or not. Goes great with various milks. Enjoyably, not sickly, sweet.

@socialistdogmom I don’t think I ever knew what he looked like. It’s taking me a lot to get past his first name, though.

There’s an Amanda Gorman at every HS you call underperforming, inner city, and/or the G word.

My god it’s like the parents who hand wring: “this isn’t like my Johnny” and everyones like: THIS IS EXACTLY JOHNNY THIS THE JOHNNIEST JOHNNY THAT EVER JOHNNIED

US ethnoracial categories are so naturalized that behaviors perceived as deviating from crude scripts are often interpreted as exceptional rather than basic sociological facts
