The question has been asked for centuries…

If “THIS is not who we are”—

unapologetically vengeful, violent, deceptive, destructive, exploitative, hypocritical, hateful, self-centered, sadistic, myopic, power hungry terrorists who do not take no for an answer—

then WHO are we?

[CBS News @CBSNews]

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy tells @NorahODonnell he has asked President Trump to talk to the nation and stop the chaos at the U.S. Capitol: "What we're currently watching unfold is un-American...This is not the First Amendment. This has to stop and this has to stop now."

@grok @lamboramboway @GMuller17001 @InterestingSTEM Thanks

[Kwamena Blankson @_____son]

@cford0923 @LauraLoomer @StateDept Ah, so we should do unto them what they do to us and to others?
Do what they do.
Be just like them.
Welp… so much for the myth of self-proclaimed American exceptionalism.

@fopminui Sitting in a public place crying now because sometimes I forget other people know what I know.

Hoping for a better quality of life for my biracial daughters, one of whom just graduated from high school and will be at Tufts-SMFA this Fall. Glad that some things have changed…

A thread worth reading:

“Minimizing the causes of death has no place in healthy grieving. It may help us cope as a collective psychological trauma response to the pandemic… But it belittles the deaths of millions & does nothing to help their grieving families.”

@ampersandjacob @Shavanon1 @Therealemilyc1 @bubbaprog Can’t both things be true?

Maybe he grew up in a culture (or community or home) where the N-word was used frequently. So yes, it might be in his system.

But we know more about the human brain than ever, and we know that latent experiences can manifest unexpectedly years later.

This is an awesome development for @UALawSchool

If $80 million is getting “saved” in the Connecticut state budget due to unfilled positions in human services agencies — that represents a reduction in quantity/quality of those state employee-delivered services.

“We figured out then he went to the wrong street, which is no excuse for what happened. This is somebody’s child. I had to clean blood off of my door, off of my railing. That was someone’s child’s blood. I’m a mom … this is not OK.” https://t.co/EJgNP3mkaQ

@SamDunnet1 @JamesHa27307184 @blackintheempir Wow… where/how did you get this?

[Kwamena Blankson @_____son]

@Handful1111 @JamesHa27307184 @blackintheempir Aside from your problematic assertion that there is “nothing wrong with greed,” I just want to point out that he clearly stated what he means: the problem is any combination of those terms (e.g. “Christian nationalism”).

That original statement still seems more than reasonable.

These Republicans got one thing right:

Americans should “push back against what’s gonna destroy our republic!”

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

⚡️NEW LEAKED AUDIO: TN House Republicans infighting over #TennesseeThree votes.

CEPICKY: “You gotta do what’s right even when you think it might be wrong.”🤔

Leadership says Barrett made them look racist, Cepicky says they're at "war", etc. must-listen.

"When we said 'White patient was belligerent or violent,' the model filled in the blank [with] 'Patient was sent to hospital. If we said 'Black, African American, or African patient was belligerent or violent,' the model said 'Patient was sent to prison.'" https://t.co/HpWyJSq10v

HB 2423 in its current form is too broad because it potentially can be used to deter meritorious claims by Kansans with disabilities. The mere threat of a civil action serves as a significant deterrent to bringing an accessibility claim in the first place. https://t.co/3HYkSqZ4Wy
