Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, has died at 88.

She got to grow old.

Emmett Till did not get that opportunity.

Rest In Power, Emmett. 🕊

I’m just wondering where the accountability from @Kia is for these incidents. Our car was broken into this week in an attempted theft and now we’re paying for the repairs. None of this would be necessary if Kia had installed proper anti-theft software to begin with.

.@HigherEd_CB's exec director: “We’ve been keeping track of strike activity in higher education more recently, since 2013. And we’ve not seen anything like this, where there are so many simultaneous strikes by faculty.”

New Pew/CDC data: Gun deaths among U.S. children and teens rose 50% in two years—up 100% in 10 years

This is the highest level of gun violence against children recorded this century, and more than 2X higher than the 2012 low.

Did the most recent episode of @AbbottElemABC just replace my literature review on charter schools? Yes.

Let’s take a moment to recognize that Indiana has one of the largest funding gaps between low and high poverty school districts in the country. Okay, now let’s consider how to more equitably fund schools so all students have the resources they need to be successful.

Carmel High School in Indiana is going viral due to its swanky amenities — prompting a convo about inequality in schools. Some viewers were impressed by the school’s planetarium, natatorium, and more, while others noted that the school benefits from being in a wealthy area.

It’s actually simple: If you can feel pride in things you didn’t personally take part in, then you can feel shame in things you didn’t personally take part in. Some of you are motivated to make this hard, but it’s only hard bc you want the glory of our history but not the burden.

@jnation93 I went and got one Thursday and literally said “sorry i’m a hypochondriac.” They said take some Sudafed and drink fluids.

Well that escalated steadily for four years.

If these were Black Lives Matter protestors or immigrants’ rights protestors, this would certainly be a different scene.
