"Political disagreement between the parties, and between Americans, is a necessary part of the democratic process. Personal vitriol, conflict-baiting and obsessive attachment to the notion of red versus blue is not." - Mary McNamara @LATimes #politics #politicstoday

Got through a long week of book talks and presentations. Shout out to the many presenters at #CMRS2022. 😊 Giving 40% off my book "Blurring the Lines of Race and Freedom: Mulattoes and Mixed Bloods in English Colonial America." Use code 01DAH40 @UNC_Press https://t.co/LUJiZ6C1Ma

The richest 10% of the population now takes 52% of global income and the poorest half just 8%. #wealthgap #wealthinequality #classinequality https://t.co/XPyjp1BC75

Just rode my bike home from work and it was so hot that my eyeballs felt warm inside my head. 😳 #vegasheat #lasvegas #heatwave

“That man is going to haunt you for the rest of your life,” one bystander said to Derek Chauvin at the end of video. Many thanks to the everyday people who stopped to record, have fought for #Floyd's dignity, and called this out for what is was: #Murder. #truth #justice #guilty

We've come full circle with the #Monarchy and ideas of #MixedRace. We can blame the #British for #race in colonial #America & #UnitedStates but we could get rid of #racism if we wanted to bad enough.😉 Thanks for featuring book @breeguywx #OprahMeghanHarry https://t.co/j3jYwuGKhh

A quick chart of the first 17 #ExecutiveOrders, including which ones overturn the damage done by "You-Know-Who." Proof of why #votingmatters and why we'll continue to push #PresidentJoe in the right direction. 😉 #DayOne #100Days https://t.co/FHpS7Nk46f

🔔📣Happy Inauguration Day! 🇺🇸😃 Not a big crowd, but the ceremony is on, with or without "he-who-must-not-be-named." Happy to see #Biden and #Harris receive the honor. Their success means our nation's success. 💯⭐️🌈 #Inauguration #POTUS #President #VicePresident #together

Today will mark the first time in history that a sitting U.S. President will be charged with "incitement of insurrection" as #45 is impeached for a second time (also a first for a U.S. President). 😯 #Impeach #President #Impeachment #USCapitolRiot #witnessinghistory #UShistory

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Sen. Cruz, you must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of four people yesterday. And how you fundraised off this riot.

Both you and Senator Hawley must resign. If you do not, the Senate should move for your expulsion.

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

One person shot, officers injured, and they found an IED (bomb) among the mob at #USCapitol. But try to stay positive. These are the last gasps of 2020 and President #45 trying to bring us and the country down, but we got it this year! 😉 #USCapitolRiot #LawAndOrder #2021gonnawin

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

What a pleasant surprise to see that our #BriberInChief lost Congress for the GOP on his way out the door. Looks like VP Harris is gonna be pretty busy casting tie-breaking votes while heading the US #Senate. 2021 looking better already. 😉 #ThankYou #Georgia #2021SpecialElection

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

#KamalaHarris becomes the 1st female #VicePresident of #UnitedStates. Oh yeah and #JoeBiden will be #President #46. 😆💯❤️ #Election2020 #Vote

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

#JoeBiden takes the official vote lead in #Pennsylvania. Now #Biden leads in PA, GA, NV & AZ. President #45... #YOUREFIRED! 😄 #Election2020

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

#Biden now leads #Georgia vote count. Hard for #President to cry foul in state with a #Republican government running election. #Election2020

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

Yes, count all the ballots, but #Biden has a clear pathway to 270 electoral votes. 😃 #countallvotes #unitethenation #Election2020

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

Back in the driver's seat... #Biden moves ahead by 11,000 votes in #Wisconsin. +10 more #ElectoralVotes. Thank you #Milwaukee!! 🥰 #Election2020 #CountAllBallots #CountAllVotes

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

If we don’t get this man out the #WhiteHouse, we move further down the road to dictatorship. 😢 #Election2020 #countallballots #countallvotes

[A. B. Wilkinson @DrABWilkinson]

#President just declared #victory and then called on #SCOTUS to stop all counting of #votes! 😮 #countallvotes #countallballots #Election2020
