Former this, future that. Politics, parenting and other irritations.

What anti-racist activity are you engaging in today?

When people argue with me that intersectionality isn’t a thing I can unfortunately *always* find a recent story

[Michael W. Twitty @KosherSoul]

Intersectionality is when you're wearing a kippa with a menorah on it, the white lady yelling at you says "is that what your sh'tty religion teaches you?" and the Black cop yells at you and threatens arrest as you call her out for being anti-Jewish just because you dare talk back

[(((Amanda))) @amandatoryrant]

@writesolution Wait. Are you suggesting people think before they tweet? Or retweet?

[(((Amanda))) @amandatoryrant]

@writesolution This is a tough hurdle for most folks. And I can see why. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen, but some folks need a hand hold while they do it. Then they can hold the next persons hand later. 🌼

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

Something is wrong w/ brother Manchin. Why would you want VRA as alternative to HR1? We need both. And what kind of VRA will Republicans support?

Br. Manchin, stop playing games. Do something novel & great in D.C. Just do what’s right. Forget the filibuster & defend democracy.

@KosherSoul IMHO kitchens should be buttery yellow with glass fronts to show off beautiful kitchen ware. *and* if it’s on camera, what color makes you look good?

[(((Amanda))) @amandatoryrant]

@writesolution That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee. 🙄 sometimes it’s like all of Twitter is having it’s very first ever philosophical convo at 2 am

Now is the moment to apply pressure!

[Marcia Levine @MarciaLevine]

.@3M just “paused” all its political giving. That's false equivalence—join other major corporate PACs & NEVER support the Republicans who tried to overturn our democratic election.

@writesolution Thank you for speaking up. I am so sorry you had to experience that. I hope all the revelations like yours and @AOC can help shift the discussion to ‘how do we stop behavior’ rather than ‘do we believe her’. Trauma with a capital T.

@dhansenx The best kind of 2.0 victory

[(((Amanda))) @amandatoryrant]

@KosherSoul He took the air and all the sunlight. And now we don’t have to listen to, talk about or react to the unceasing onslaught of lies, obfuscation and self aggrandizing. I suspect I will cry even more tomorrow.

[(((Amanda))) @amandatoryrant]

@writesolution I don’t pray but I gratefully accept all prayers because I understand what it means to the praying person. I don’t believe you need to apologize. Compassion is not restricted to religion.
