@megancgibbs Completely unrelated to your tweet, but it was nice to log into Twitter for the first time in months (years?) and see your face!

But, also, f yeah, naps

I am telling you all: We are in dangerous times.

There is no need for Sha’Carri to apologize.

We need to get rid of archaic rules for a substance that is fully legal in 19 states plus DC.

And we need to legalize it at the federal level. https://t.co/Ws0n8ykKIP

We need to quit conceding that CRT is being taught in public schools.

Conservatives do this thing where they redefine words and then people use those definitions as if they are accurate.

We gotta stop doing that.

If your kid is learning CRT, your kid is in law/grad school.

Who are your favorite Asian women design leaders?

Looking to put a panel together of Asian women design leaders across leadership levels - Director, Manager, new to design managing, for a conference. And sadly realized I don't know many 🤔

In 2009, the IRS tried to take on the ultrawealthy.

It didn’t go well.

How did a case that consumed so many years of effort, with a team of its finest experts working on a signature mission, produce such a piddling result for the IRS?

No matter what happens, our collective grief remains, as must our resolve to make Black lives matter in a country that has treated us as if they never have. What does justice even look like when a man loses his life this way.

When ⁦@joshua_rashaad⁩, a Black photographer working for ⁦@nytimes⁩, showed officers his press credentials they didn’t believe him & struck him & his cameras. This is an infuriating reality for Black journalists covering protests. https://t.co/uims5m4cFN

"There's so many traffic infractions that any time you drive, you commit one. And that gives police an extraordinary amount of power, and we know that they selectively use this power against Black and brown people," says Georgetown Law's Paul Butler. https://t.co/vwGa1treFu

I have yet to see a *single* headline noting how many out of 6.8 million Johnson and Johnson recipients — of which I am one — developed blood clots.

(6. The answer is 6. Total. Over months of distribution.)

I am begging editors to be responsible here.

“The sadism of treating human beings like vermin lies precisely in the recognition that they are not.”

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

The thesis that viewing others as objects or animals enables our very worst conduct would seem to explain a great deal. Yet there’s reason to think that it’s almost the opposite of the truth. https://t.co/hh986SLwEj

Today I have seen a grown black man break down and cry on the stand and a grown black man begs, in vain, for his life in the streets. All while watching this trial. There is a phenomenon called “vicarious traumatization,” but I rebuke that spirit! I’m not sad or hurt. I’m ANGRY!
