The Chinese government is committing genocide against the Uighurs. Right now. We know where. And the world is just sitting back and letting it happen. Disney even thanked local party apparatchiks for letting them film Mulan there.
Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.
I am approaching this with anthropological precision.
Here are a few observations.
I dream a world where Dems intensely focused on persuading Trumpers would bring that same energy (instead) to feeding & housing people, healthcare for all, dismantling structural racism, mass incarceration, closing the racial wealth gap, police accountability & climate change.
Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.
Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.
Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.
Love puts in work.
🚨BREAKING: More than 750,000 Georgians have requested their ballots for the January 5 runoff elections. Have you? Request yours today and let’s get it done... again: https://t.co/xCyh7BhY3o. 🗳👏🏿 #gapol
I don’t know if I can overstate how much it means to me and to millions of others, and what a big bloody deal it is, that today we learned the Muslim ban will be gone in January 2020. Lifted. Repealed. Reversed.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris: “While I may be the first woman in this office I will not be the last.”
Her message to women: “Dream with ambition. Lead with conviction. And see yourself in a way that others may not...Know we will applaud you every step of the way.”
Tomorrow Trump should call his entire cabinet, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Matt Gaetz, Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton & Ted Cruz for a closed door meeting in the oval office just to see how committed they all are to the idea he only had a 4 day Coronavirus. #MasksOff#BrownNoseOn
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination."
