@Apple I'm struggling to understand why a broken screen requires my phone to be deactivated and now the system is down so y'all can't reactivate it or have a ETA for when the problem will be addressed?

Y'all keep arranging a phone call. How am I suppose to answer???

@Apple Q: Why does it cost $300 to replace a spacebar on the magic keyboard w/o Apple Care? A *brand new keyboard* is only $350…

Criminal or capitalism? #apple #applecare #ipad

Today would have been Congressman John Lewis’ 81st birthday. While my dear friend may no longer be with us, his life and legacy provide an eternal moral compass on which direction to march. May we carry on his mission in the fight for justice and equality for all.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The fact that the Republican Party will not take decisive action against white supremacists & knowingly endorsed candidates who believe Muslim Americans shouldn’t serve in Congress & posted threatening images holding firearms next to Dem members of Congress is extremely alarming.

@FedExHelp @FedEx @Verizon @VerizonSupport Why am I on the phone for over an hour trying to get a Verizon rep to update my address so I can have my items delivered for a system that had the correct address when I ordered since Fed ex won’t let me update it myself?

@Hortonrb2 @DrKatMansfield Also...movies are great, but not if the is not trained facilitation afterwards. @DrKatMansfield #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@Hortonrb2 @DrKatMansfield I don’t think any age is too young to talk about race and racism, for example. We socialize children to be silent or that its “bad” when we should be feeding their curiosities with truth. #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@Hortonrb2 @DrKatMansfield I think one of the more difficult things I see is the silence from people *when it matters most.* We see folx on social media sharing support, but then in meetings those individuals rarely provide additional support to your voice or may come up afterwards... #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@mr_cotton3rd @DrKatMansfield This really speaks to the prioritization of how we allocate funding and reinforces what our society believes are valuable. This is especially indicative of how policing, to me, is a manifestation of a state of fear from majority white populations #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@DrKatMansfield "Higher education's interest in fighting racism is, at best, superficial and, at worst, cynical." As a Black professional, I am often left wondering if a statement is reflective of genuine care or damage control. #politicsofeducation https://t.co/edpQr2zknD

@ThomasGWarnerJr @DrKatMansfield 3) It also doesn’t communicate how race often intersects many forms of oppression. @DrKatMansfield #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@ThomasGWarnerJr @DrKatMansfield 1)I think about how often we have already explained privilege and it doesn’t click, because these walks don’t effectively communicate the impact of violence and oppression. I think it also creates an image that isn’t accurate for our society. @DrKatMansfield #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@ThomasGWarnerJr @DrKatMansfield When participants look around it’s easy to only conclude that we are all oppressed and all that needs to be done is have empathy for others. Not, that intentional anti-racist work needs to occur. @DrKatMansfield #politicsofeducation

This is especially impactful for low-income families who cannot afford outside resources that help with college counseling. Gap years may exacerbate disparities in educational attainment due to class.

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@DrKatMansfield More students are looking to delay enrollment in college due to the pandemic, the gap year isn’t “voluntary” for most. https://t.co/DQ155ucq6x #politicsofeducation

[Dr. Detric @justdetric]

@DrKatMansfield Takeaway: Higher ed should not expect a “bailout.” Higher ed is not considered an essential industry and government is willing to let it fail. This also serves in the interests of privitization of higher education. #politicsofeducation https://t.co/lVG9HncgjV
