ICYMI, I talked about international perspective on politics, impact of #Trump on emotions around the world, & related things. 🌍🌏🌎 https://t.co/ouVLdT0gjc

Okay, the personal is political, so I have strong feelings about this. Bear with me. This might be several tweets.

@JustinKlekota @jikamens @qwrrty This is an inaccurate description of the situation, in my opinion. It's not that the language was "incomplete."

Requiring/expecting people to disclose what sex a doctor pronounced them to be at birth is a *very* bad way to attempt to attract more gender diversity in leadership.

Hi, I’m a sociology grad student focusing on domestic violence. Here’s why I believe Amber Heard and why I disagree with so much of this trial.

I don’t talk about this enough so here goes.

When you push against a system and it is an unjust system, you must prepare yourself mentally for the isolation and resistance that comes with that.

This thread. My heart is so broken reading it.

I may in fact be in love with this woman.

Thank you, @Dallas_DA

There’s more in the piece. I’ve tried to address all the standard tropes--“but we didn’t make accommodations before”; “we can’t shut down society for a small fraction”—and why they’re problematic. That’s all in here. 13/ https://t.co/DBI6ssL1a5

Funny cause I think hitting women is a lot more cowardly than putting on a skirt

i once asked a hiring manager "how would you respond if one of your developer advocates were harassed on the job because they are a minority" & the answer was so illuminating i withdrew my application with said company.

it was 30 seconds of silence followed by nervous laughter.

I had a white friend. I liked him and I think he liked me, too. But then Pearl Harbor happened and whites became hostile and unpleasant. I am sure we didn’t do anything but they sent us to camps anyway. And now they don’t want to teach about this because it make kids feel bad.

Outstanding thread on the close link between efforts to maintain racial segregation and the invention of zoning, present near the creation of zoning among planners circa 1918. (Robert Whitten is the personification of this link btw).

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The power structure literally is a pyramid (and a pyramid scheme) and when you get to the tippy top it’s ten white male billionaires making decisions based on their personal financial interests that impact the fate of the Earth and all its inhabitants. Racial capitalism.

One year later, "Recognize Fascism," edited by @CrystalMHuff and published by @WorldWeaver_wwp, is still one of the most important anthologies you need to read.

If you are still claiming police needed to kill a child I don't have anything to say to you. Because you're clearly okay with the state murdering kids & that's so far down the road to hell there's no turning back. We can't agree to disagree, we can't discuss it. You have to go.

[Crystal M. Huff, 赫 晶 (they/them) @crystalvisits]

Holy fucking shit. I mean, #RecognizeFascism, but ... seriously. Holy fucking shit, Americans. I legit edited a book on this, and I'm still out of words on what's happening right now.

Law enforcement arrested 15 people today in D.C, according to NBC.

15.

People were being arrested by the hundreds in Ferguson for peacefully protesting the killing of an unarmed black teenager.
