Roe. Miranda. Gun control. Church and State. All dismantled in a single week. The single worst week for civil rights and liberties in decades.

THREAD. Sometimes the bias of the New York Times is so outrageous that it surprises even me. Because what the NYT did yesterday in its election coverage is so dangerous, I try my best to analyze it carefully below.

[Playworks Illinois @PlayworksIL]

Playworks was featured in a recent @BBC segment! This episode of The Compass’ ‘Why We Play’ series focuses on the role of play in “building our understanding of our surroundings, culture and even ourselves.” Listen: https://t.co/B7wxM3OWd6

If anyone could please please retweet this picture. We lost our dog Charlie within the past hour around 6 pm tonight. We’re near the corner of Berenice Ave and Damen near Martrys North Center in Chicago.

This one is for you, Chicago. 🏆

The Chicago Sky are your 2021 WNBA Champions.

Happy Friday, y’all!

[Oliver Willis @owillis]

almost all the census reporting is being done through the lens of "what does this mean for white people?" and lemme tell you, diversity in the media matters.

[Adam Serwer 🍝 @AdamSerwer]

It is untenable for Democratic leaders to demand black voters rescue the party every election cycle because their fundamental rights are on the line, and then do little to secure those rights once they are in power. https://t.co/AaruZSPJZ2

Your 'the pandemic isn't over' reminder:

Globally more people died of Covid-19 in the first half of 2021 than in all of 2020.

No immigrant has taken your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who took advantage of that immigrant to increase their profits. Nothing makes the capitalist happier than you blaming the immigrant and not the capitalist.

[The Nap Ministry @TheNapMinistry]

Juneteenth is a leisure day for Black folks. A reparations day for all others. Spread the word.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations.

It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs.

It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid.

It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country.

Black liberation in its totality must be prioritized.

[Anna Valencia @AnnaValenciaIL]

My name is Anna Valencia. I’m the Clerk of the City of Chicago, a Democrat and a Latina. Elected leaders need to reflect the communities they represent. That’s why I’m running for Illinois Secretary of State. Please retweet and follow this account to help me get started.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

During the Obama admin, folks thought we’d have a 60 Dem majority for a while. It lasted 4 months.

Dems are burning precious time & impact negotiating w/GOP who won’t even vote for a Jan 6 commission. McConnell’s plan is to run out the clock.

It’s a hustle. We need to move now.

[People's City Council - Los Angeles @PplsCityCouncil]

If you’re wondering why it *looks* like the police are at war with us:

The United States police spending ranks third among worldwide military expenditures.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

In 2019, Black drivers were 95% more likely than white drivers to be pulled over by police in Missouri.

We were then 40% more likely to be searched, but police were less likely to find contraband compared to white drivers.

Remove police from traffic enforcement.

[Colleen Harvey @ColleenJHarvey]

@niketasays So sorry for your loss Niketa, sending strength in this difficult time ❤️

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

It's a tiny window of opportunity. Dems have had the presidency AND both houses of Congress in only 4 of the past 28 years. So be bold, damn it.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

253 bills across 43 states have been introduced to restrict voting access, despite little evidence of voter fraud. We have had 7 mass shootings in the last week and only offer thoughts and prayers. In America, Black/brown people voting is considered more dangerous than guns.
