@TheCityClub What other "symbolic" SCOTUS appointments can Americans expect? LGBTQ? More Blacks? Asian-Americans? Non-Ivy Leaguers?

[Jeremy Johnson @brickcity]

@cityprowl_jen I'm confused. I thought our legislators wanted to retain residents, attract new ones, and prevent brain drain. Ohio can do better than this.

How have hundreds of billions upon hundreds of billions of dollars been spent in the name of security since 9/11, along with the deployment of drones and surveillance tech, yet a few hundred protestors can so easily breach the Capitol, just waltzing in and taking it over?

@CultureGrrl @darrenwalker Clutching our collective white pearls. How dare that a once-impoverished great grandson of slaves wear expensive designer clothes! (Yes, sarcasm intended). Seriously, let's critique policies and principles, but please don't make this about fashion.

Newark artists agree: “When you get to medium and smaller arts organizations — that don’t have endowments, that don’t have rich boards, that don’t have huge amounts of operating cash flow — those organizations are panicked. If we don’t help them, they will be gone.” #newarkarts
