@marysdesk Mr. Groundhog and Pizza Squirrel would like a word.

@chinalawpolicy @opinion_joe @NYCMayor The lack of parent responses was a sign of confusion, or of parents wanting to wait and see what's really happening in September. Definitely not a vote of confidence.

[Mark Ladov @MarkLadov]

@chinalawpolicy @opinion_joe Also, I was flabbergasted by @NYCMayor press conference asserting DOE survey showed parent support. The survey was designed so that "no response" = blended learning. Parents can easily leave blended for on-line learning (but not the reverse).

I’m glad Jumaane and I were there to de-escalate last night. But real de-escalation? End the curfew. Stand the NYPD down from aggressive tactics. Protect against looting, of course. But allow space for protest. And start real work to end abusive policing.

As she often does, @SenWarren provides a cogent summary of how federal policymakers should be thinking about the pandemic in the coming months. https://t.co/zkX0E7ncK5

@emeyerson Actually “creating identity around not being into something that’s popular” sort of summarizes our WESU college radio experience no?

@marysdesk @henrygrabar Although the closing note of "optimism" made me want to listen to @superchunk: "All these old men won't die too soon" https://t.co/m62Lu43QAz

There was a time in this nation’s history when slaveholding politicians blamed abolitionists for the deaths of all those illegals resisting slavery. Abolitionist policies were allowing slaves to think they can break the law, slaveholders said.

History is rarely history.

This is rapidly becoming the most notable institutional election fraud in modern US political history. It was executed on behalf of the political party that made the claim of fraud its justification for a nationwide campaign of voter suppression. Democracy itself is under siege.

The 4 yo is aggressively trying to learn how to play “call me maybe” on the piano and I am simultaneously so proud and want to die

We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.

Dear @JeffFlake @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski - please watch this video. Then explain how you can reconcile a vote for #Kavanaugh with a bipartisan culture that takes violence against women and sexual assault seriously.

Trump mocked Christine Blasey Ford's testimony about her alleged assault by Brett Kavanaugh, drawing cheers and laughter from supporters

For @realDonaldTrump to blantantly mock Dr. Ford & her story is insulting to every woman in our country & across the globe.

Shame on Donald Trump.

We have 35 days. On November 6th let’s show the world we stand up and speak out when someone tries to silence us.

A president of the United States is saying that a criminal’s loyalty to his fellow criminals is a sacred principle, and that it’s wrong for law enforcement to interfere with that.
