Maybe the most important 5 minutes white people can spend this week ⬇️ watch this please! Helps us understand part of where white privilege comes from. The entire housing system ➡️ educational system ➡️ school to prison pipeline 🤦

WSJ Editor-in-Chief @emmatuckerWSJ to the newsroom this morning:
“We need to remind people that we have an innocent journalist behind bars.”
Please help us #FreeEvan and support his family. #IStandWithEvan#100Days
So proud of @bagelambassador for continuing to demonstrate the importance of being a good friend to #FreeEvan, on the 100th day of his detainment in Russia.
"The main thing that we're doing is writing these letters because those are getting through to him. That's his only connection to the outside world right now, and I know it makes a world of difference," says @bagelambassador on remaining positive for Evan Gershkovich.
Gifting @nytimes story free,because no one cares about HUNDREDS of drowned migrants who have gotten none of the non-stop media coverage like the 5 very rich adventurers for whom millions of dollars of rescue equipment was rallied. RT/QT for max exposure.

I have posted this before but ..
26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.
Hello from Frankfort! It is Day 28 of #KYGA23.
We have about 15 hours until the veto period.
All eyes are on the Senate, which tried to and failed to debate and vote on HB 470 last night.

It is important to note SB 150's sponsor Sen. Max Wise is running for lieutenant governor.
Is *this* how he plans on running Kentucky's state government? #kygov#kyga23
GOP Rep. Killian Timoney, who voted against the bill:
"When I stand before God on my judgment day, he's going to say, 'Who did you love?'
"And I'm going to say, 'Everybody.'" #KYGA23
This offers lawmakers two similar anti-trans bills to choose - HB 470 in the Senate and SB 150 in the House.
Again, I can't spot the difference because they're discussing a bill that is not available to the public and gave the public five minutes of leeway to get to the cmte
OK, keeps SB 150's original language + "a much more condensed version" of HB 470, Rep. David Meade says.
Requires districts to create bathroom policies, ban on gender-affirming medical care.
This committee sub is NOT available online, obviously. #KYGA23
There was a six minute difference between when a House Education Committee was called and when it started, solely to hear SB 150.
Transparency. #kyga23
Kentucky becomes the 9th state to ban trans care For youth after a secret hearing with 6 minutes notice and House mics off.
One provision forces detransition on teens.
Gov Beshear will likely veto, but they can override.

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
