The legacy of Dr. #PaulFarmer is aspirational. He was a true hero & I cannot recommend “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” by Kidder, highly enough.

#mondaythoughts systemic racism is when @LeaderMcConnell mentions his intention to disenfranchise African-American voters in violation of The Reconstruction Amendments. Leader in title only.

@NBCNews The Senate, as a political institution, enslaved those of African descent in the USA & this is precisely the type of “badge of slavery” I would expect from them. #13thAmendment protects from such gov’t deprivation

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@LindseyGrahamSC seems to forget that Clarence Thomas is an actual beneficiary of Affirmative Action & Amy B couldn’t be answer a simple 1st Amendment question.

@acluhawaii a 10-year-old girl was arrested for a drawing but a suspected drunk driver who damaged 17 cars along the Ala Wai was not arrested...

@UbiIustitia @CBSNews Prior to the 1970s, Civics was included in the curriculum, but when the people started exercising their rights and were empowered, they stopped teaching it.

@carolrosenberg That we would ever accommodate torture in such manner: “evidence obtained through a prisoner’s torture,” proves how broken the system is.

@Insurance35 Investments? Just joking. How easily the tax code is exploited... or Congress creates loopholes for lobbyists. I think they’re paid bonuses etc. while taxed at their “salary”.

@DirkSchwenk Where was this self-awareness during her own confirmation? She was silent then, so she lacks both integrity & sincerity.

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@scottjshapiro Bush v Gore (2000) is the best example of partisanship; however, I was more concerned that she didn’t know the 5 laws included in the First Amendment, but received confirmation & sits on the Court.

@BuddJenn That was the correct answer. Islamophobia is unacceptable in the USA where we have the Free Exercise Clause for those who chose to practice Islam, other religions, or no religion at all. The #HateCrime against Balbir Singh Sodhi is heartbreaking.

[Mari Lane @M808L]

#TaxTheChurches they were always political: deprived enslaved of religion & practiced & profited off of enslavement. #Compensation

@cspanwj @rollcall @ArielCohen37 Do these schools have water that is heated at a temperature that kills germs? Proper ventilation? Proper sanitization? Physical distancing? There are too many factors that are overlooked or neglected.

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@cspanwj The only ones to blame are the actual attackers. We have to think of the most effective and expeditious way to evacuate. Most importantly, my sincere condolences to all of those who lost people in the attack, and I’m thankful to all those helping in evacuation efforts.

@MnarMuh Their souls have the same dignity and would have been included had reporting not been reduced to headlines that drive the most traffic by receiving the most clicks. It is not journalism, it is profiteering.

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@propublica We need as much information as possible to see how the virus mutates and the variations in the community, city & state. I do not understand why they would be uncounted because their information could be useful. Why does the CDC policy keep changing?

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@Slate SCOTUS fails natural people in favor of corporations with personhood. They’re pro-business and will remain so. It is disheartening

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@thehill Hopefully, disbarment will ensue.

[Mari Lane @M808L]

@MSNBC @HayesBrown “(and Missouri, for some reason) filed a lawsuit”
It is sad for those who will have the burden of undue delay on legitimate asylum claims.
