More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

This is not about Right or Left, it’s about Right and Wrong.

@silverpebble Found it! Masterful!!

I am so, so, so unhappy about this sad news! Thank you Thomas Sauer and team for all that you have done to feed World Language teacher’s souls!

[PEARLL @PEARLL_NFLC]

PEARLL is closing.

The federal grant program that has supported PEARLL since 2018 has been defunded for the current cycle and seems unlikely to receive funding again soon. Therefore, unfortunately, PEARLL needs to close.

[Lisa Daniels @lisitadee]

@PEARLL_NFLC This is horrific news!

@nathanlutz @helenacurtain Nathan, might you share this unit planner with me, please? Or the updated version, if you have one? [email protected]

[Knotta, ESQ. @Knotta]

I get tired of black folks falling into white talking points about who is and isn’t black.

Because there were only two fountains!!! And Kamala would NOT be drinking from the White one. BE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

You know what I realized today? We haven’t truly had a joyful, naturally funny, quick to laugh President since Obama. I’m talking a POTUS who breaks out in belly laughs and is truly a joyous person. I’m thinking more and more that may be VP Harris’ secret weapon. We need some joy.

[Ronald Klain @RonaldKlain]

One last tweet and then I’m re-retiring from @x I sat next to @vp @KamalaHarris in the WW for two years And I can tell you there’s no more effective advocate for progress and no one more prepared to be our next President She is smart, compassionate, and seasoned Let’s go!

Estados Unidos sanciona a miembros del cartel mexicano de La Nueva Familia Michoacana. Se trata de uno de los cárteles más poderosos y violentos de México y se ha convertido en un objetivo prioritario del Gobierno https://t.co/7Wiv27xIPn

[Kiefer Sutherland @RealKiefer]

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

By the time the Court decides how much or how little king-like immunity Trump & future presidents will enjoy, everyone who hasn’t been asleep for the past 6 months will know it has granted Trump the indefensible gift of immunity by sheer delay.

That the Court doesn’t care what We the People think about that dishonest strategy bespeaks a boundless arrogance that should embolden efforts at enlarging the Court, imposing term limits, creating enforceable ethics rules, and requiring greater transparency.

[Rick Wormeli @rickwormeli2]

'NOT a proud moment for this Virginia (yeah, the Commonwealth in which I live) school district. This is one of the most cruel and unnecessary moves they could make -- And worth condemnation. This is not "honoring our heritage" as they claim. It's legitimizing/normalizing callous white superiority and the enslaving, raping, and murdering of millions of individuals. Shenandoah schools, you can be better than this! Reverse this decision. https://t.co/wuJQKB58QJ

May the fourth be with you

Same news, two different stories.

Thread: Want to think out loud about what I've seen and experienced since joining NPR a few years ago. I was hired during NPR's "North Star" era when diversity was established as a priority. I'm an aging rural white man (58 years old). Never graduated college. Didn't see NYC...1/

Human beings are meant to feel, not avoid.

Celebrate your sensitivity.

The last American slave ship docked illegally in Mobile, Alabama, in 1860, carrying about 160 West African captives.

Among them was Cudjo Lewis, who recognized how his birth culture might be erased while toiling in this new land.

So when he was freed, he purchased two acres and started a self-sufficient community of survivors of the last slave ship.

Known to outsiders as Africatown, Lewis' neighborhood was modeled on his West African home, where extended families lived together, members conversed in their regional languages, and partook in traditions that might otherwise be lost to them in America.

Today, Africatown still exists and houses the descendants of the nation's last slave ship community.

News! (And there's time for this to become a wave.) Public radio in Vermont announced it will dial back the horse race and take a 'citizens agenda' approach to covering the 2024 election. https://t.co/HlFyfLxC3Z 1/
