Wonderful to hear my old friend @NickNehamas on the @TheRunUpNYT. I remember when he and I were cub reporters. And the quote "right where we want him, 30 points up" is hilarious.

Every time I read about Ed Blum's quest to redefine racial equity, (i.e. https://t.co/SdZUBLZpUV), I remember this deep dive interview @MorePerfect did with him some years back.

@TheCompSays @reblavoie "One group of women showed up Tuesday evening to announce they were there only to meet police officers to date."

"There’s that saying that goes, 'White privilege is when your history is the core curriculum, and mine is an elective....' [A] state is using its power to eradicate the (elective!) inclusion of the African American experience in education." https://t.co/zmYdOrizOG

Before you put Martin Luther King Jr. Day entirely in your rearview, we just released an ep of @civics101pod that tracks the ugly and inspiring history of what it took to get all of America to honor the holiday. https://t.co/mUVdoALwZY

Anyway, it wasn't all bad news. Youth across NH spent a decade protesting until the legislature finally relented

EXACTLY. My 1st grader got strep on DAY 3 of school. This week he was down for the count with some super-virus (not covid, not flu) and missed FOUR DAYS of school, which was chaos. Glad I'm not a health reporter anymore. https://t.co/qSEOxZLZ2g

Of the 85 judges appointed by Joe Biden so far, 64 (or 75%) are women. Nearly a quarter are African­-American; two-­thirds are non­-white. Donald Trump’s appointed judges are mostly male (76%) and white (84%) https://t.co/Bzx5GujSTN

Happy Monday. Don't take yourself too seriously. Here's a short doc about a woman who takes in a baby squirrel. Damn the torpedoes. https://t.co/6e1w08AuRj
