I am telling you all: We are in dangerous times.

This is the end game. That’s why these anti-CRT laws are memory laws.

If any of you are under the impression that our billionaires might succeed in "escaping" to space, while the world burns, let me put those fears to rest with what I know from being the spouse of a NASA flight controller. 🧵

Five young descendants of Frederick Douglass read and respond to excerpts of his famous speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" — which asks all of us to consider America's long history of denying equal rights to Black Americans.

The humor of America making Juneteenth a national holiday when they’re banning people from teaching about it in schools is not lost on me

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Our children must learn that we are the greatest and freest country in the history of the world, and we will demonstrate this by barring educators from teaching things we do not like, and in the name of liberty, mandating government control of what ideas can be exchanged.

Abolish the police

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Some cities have signed contracts with police unions to systematically destroy evidence of police sexual assault: https://t.co/S0unhl1HSA

This is damn near impossible. It's like asking: "Can you briefly explain how the universe works?"

However, there are some things people should know.

A thread.
