@roaringsoftly I donated a copy of your book to my daughter's kindergarten class, the teacher loves it. I am ready to throw down with any parent who objects. Thank you for the gift of this book!

@BobbiJoPickar @billfisher6 @Annie_Wu_22 Atheists are typically
Humanists and don’t need a religion to tell them how to be kind, but I understand your point

@sfbos you have lost your damn minds. Why would you approve this? Why would you trust a militarized police force to use this weapon responsibly? I hope everyone who voted for this loses their job. @myrnamelgar I’m in your district, I'm looking at you.

Yesterday was my last day at Twitter: the entire Human Rights team has been cut from the company.

I am enormously proud of the work we did to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights, to protect those at-risk in global conflicts & crises including Ethiopia,

Hey Twitter employees getting laid off tomorrow! IMPORTANT INFO from a CA employment attorney (me):

CA's "WARN" law requires Twitter to give you 60 days notice of a massive layoff.

A layoff of 50+ employees within a 30 day period qualifies.

I know you didn't get that notice.

Wow. Didn’t know Bo Burnham was a real one. Couldn’t be more relevant

@clhubes Reading your tweet while at home sick with my kindergartener’s cold from last week. All she had was a runny nose!

Read the whole thread, but this particular point is beyond true

6/ That day was the day I forever understood that Black people are possibly the only thing standing in the way of utter destruction. White folks, even liberal ones, will often fold up their tents and go home when it gets too difficult…

[Christine Mathias @NerdAlert19]

This makes me very happy

Fabulous 👏👏👏

Welp, Today is going to suck.

Today starts the final process of taking down affirmative action. AA has been nothing short of the most successful social policy in American history (bar maybe the GI Bill), but too many white folks hate it so now it's going to die.

I used to draw with this old Disney artist named Sam Singer, he worked on Snow White. He told me he got in fist fights with co-workers daily. “You have to understand, back then, Americans thought what Hitler was doing was good and they would tell me to my face.”

Today is Julia Roberts birthday! 55 years ago MLK and Coretta Scott King paid for her parents hospital bill after she was born. Can’t stop thinking about this since I read it. Here she is talking about it with @GayleKing

When white southerners of a certain age discover I teach history, they’re quick to tell me how their family didn’t believe in segregation. Based on these interactions over 20 yrs, I can now conclude that segregation in the South was enforced by three guys and a basset hound.
