A good reminder that US press freedoms are truly unusual, and need fighting for https://t.co/96LldMbA3D

In 2021, states passed more laws regulating Black voters, Black history and Black protesters than guns, masks or police.

@TinaLikesBooks @TedLasso It was oh so powerful. On my 3rd viewing of it.

I think there's this idea that the rich and powerful surely don't want things to get tooo bad. But America's 650 billionaires got over $1 trillion richer during the pandemic. All change is an opportunity for profit. And climate change will be no different.

A cool thing just happened with one of my favorite stories about Black History.

It began when a Black community went up against LITERALLY one of the most powerful corporations in America

A thread:

After being asked about Critical Race Theory, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley delivers an answer every American should watch.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

In case you forgot, Republican members of Congress incited an insurrection, refused to convict the former president, and are working around the clock to cover up their actions.

I'm not interested in compromise with members that have no interest in governing.

“(Libraries) are temples of openness and equality. They feed hungers that are very real, for practical survival but also for imaginative joy.”

There are 30m Black adults in the U.S. If you asked most people "how many receive cash 'welfare'?" what would they say? 10m? 5m? 10% (3m)? The answer is 135,000 (less than 0.5%). And most receive it for 6 mo or less. "Dependence" stereotypes are racist garbage.

The fact that GOP voter suppression efforts still being described as partisan battle instead of all-out assault on democracy is unconscionable

"the study revealed that cities that exhibit a particular empowering effect are not only those with a physical infrastructure that is more Jacobian (density and diversity) but also where more people have an open orientation – where psychological openness is particularly strong."

[Keystone Innovation District @KCKeystone]

“Specifically, the study examined how the favourable structural city environment envisioned by Jacobs (urban density and diversity) empowers people in cities to ignite a stronger entrepreneurial spirit and fuel economic growth.”

In distributed work, different people need different support: autonomy for some, conspicuous monitoring for others; explicit boundaries for some, self-regulation for others; and, project complexity that matches individual capacity.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

No matter the reason for their absence, school district officials should work to locate & reengage students who are chronically absent or disengaged in a non-punitive manner. Practice has shown that personal outreach is a promising reengagement strategy. https://t.co/tCP3ok6ZUT

On #TransDayOfVisibility, we make it clear to every trans person across the country and the world:

You are beautiful. You are loved. And at a time of so much hatred, know that there are so many of us who have your back.

Shocking stat: 57 senators who voted to convict Trump represent 76.7 MILLION more Americans than 43 senators who voted to acquit

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

“Back the Blue” Senators voted to acquit the former president after they helped incite a white supremacist insurrection that left police officers dead.

It was never about “Blue Lives” mattering. It was just about making sure Black lives don’t.
