@Hertz Gold Plus member stuck with faulty vehicle on road trip and no cstmr service pickup in over an hour! Finally got to local hertz and traded for small dirty car. Still no follow up or remedy and instead just found I was CHARGED additional $ for swap. Pls reply asap. Abysmal

Chose @nbkcbank bc recommended by @NerdWallet . Set up 3rd party billing through @Autobooks_ which appeared internal. Held my payment for more than a week and demanded my client CONTRACT to release my funds. Then took huge fee! No help from @nbkcbank. Closing accounts. Be warned!

Why I signed the petitions and the open letters—and am here for the teach-ins,paradigm-shifting curatorial practice, and actually applying the lessons of history. Is that really what happened? #historymatters, #pastpresent, #sourcescrm, #workonpurpose https://t.co/5Y5esqkcih

@Karineduhamel1 just dropped a beautiful, bomb sharing project--> "There is no word in my language for reconciliation." Certainly Reconciliation can be an appropriative, constraining, even oppressive demand. #historymatter, #museumperil, #museumpotential

@Yale to present at Museums and Mass Violence symposium. What does it mean to center victim and survivor's perspectives in the museum? Tension between "confronting the awful truth" and changemaking that feels satisfying to those most aggrieved? #museumperil, #museumpotential

Felt a way watching this with my sons. And then that “protection” speech. Nope

For the kids watching at home: A tasteless joke does not entitle you to assault another person. Calling this behaviour "manly" is #ToxicMasculinity #WillSmith #Oscars

@marianliou @PeachtreeCtr @Dashboard_US @ATLPlanning @ATLCityStudio Let’s have lunch!

@jelani9 There’s still time….

.@Calindanlee: "As an academic, we should do good history" by not only doing our research but also "clarify the relationship" between past injustices and contemporary folks who are still legitimately aggrieved. #SPHR21 #PerilandPotential

[Calinda Lee @Calindanlee]

Alexander Hinton-whenever we talk about hate, we individualize. It’s not WE, US, systems not at a distance. That diverts from history,makes it exceptional when it’s not. #SPHR21, #Accountability , #historymatters

[Calinda Lee @Calindanlee]

^^systems = systems of oppression

[Calinda Lee @Calindanlee]

Why are these systems sustained? Let’s look beyond individuals to structures. We are not immortal but the systems persist. Why? How? We need to seek answers and have the will to dismantle. @mabmbarek -teach! #SPHR21

[Calinda Lee @Calindanlee]

Is democracy essential to human rights? That is not universally agreed by committed rights activists. Concerned about Western hegemonic thought, however well intended. Thoughts? #SPHR21 , #humanandcivilrights, #HumanRights

[Calinda Lee @Calindanlee]

@Ctr4CHR #civilandhumanrights—we know it’s about structures, not just individuals

[Dewey Decimate 🌻 @insolenttomato]

Calinda Lee of the ATL Civil Rights Museum asks "does knowing better really = doing better?" Can we inspire empathy and transformation? One major step is to stop "othering" human rights and answer the question "why should I care?" @Calindanlee #SPHR21 #PerilandPotential

[Calinda Lee @Calindanlee]

Does the Human Rights and Democracy framework that focuses on individual racists/sexists, etc highlight or obscure matrix of domination? Global North exploits cheap labor, econ windfalls riding the backs of Global South says @mabmbarek - #SPHR21

[Univ. of Dayton Human Rights @udhumanrights]

@AdamPNewman89 Not me—but my kids do it now!

[Ryan Gravel @ryangravel]

Honestly, can we get a moratorium on terrible ideas? Bulldoze a forest, shove horrible things into struggling communities, ignore your own plans, etc. etc. There is SO MUCH MORE to this story, but here's some news... #southriverforest > https://t.co/9klTtfNmIA

[Rep. Renitta Shannon @RenittaShannon]

We are currently involved in a sit in at the capitol demanding that capitol #police apologize to @parkcannon58 for grabbing her for absolutely no reason as she was speaking in the rotunda against #hb531 a voter suppression bill. The officer is refusing to apologize. #hb531
