This.

No Black person I know wants me to feel guilty, which would make it about me. When white people express guilt, they are putting the burden on the Black person to take care of them - again. They want me to take action to break down the systems which perpetuate racism.

@BestMattWilson Sure but what is a mountain whale?

Because I am a super nerd and just finished Ted Lasso season 2, here’s the Ted Lasso characters the steps of an appeal. #appellatetwitter /1

My badass coworker, Allison Mathis, y’all. Your move, @GovAbbott.

#BREAKING The Texas parole board just recommended posthumous clemency for #GeorgeFloyd.

This is for the 2004 drug charge he got in Houston, when he was arrested by a cop now accused of fabricating informants.

Now, the decision moves to @GovAbbott.

Just watched a drunk dude leave the bar, presumably to drive home, with a double vodka water to go. Thanks @GovAbbott ???

1/8
20 years ago, I heard about 9/11 on the radio in Afghanistan. At 18, I couldn’t imagine buildings so tall or why someone would kill so many people. Soon after, I was sold to the US & sent to #Guantanamo. 8 years later, when I saw video of 9/11 for the first time,

❤️❤️❤️ HBD, Devon. Will never get over coming home from seeing Casper as a ~10yo and collapsing onto my bed in tears as I realized we’d never be together.

Happy Birthday to 👑 @DevonESawa, every millennial gay boy/straight girl’s first crush. Still hot and starring in the new Chucky series. 🎂

Once again, same week as MLK Day.

[Keri Blakinger @keribla]

As people look forward to the long holiday weekend, reminder that also Confederate Heroes' Day is still a holiday on the official Texas state agencies' holiday calendar. For 2021.

[Maggie Kiely @mkiely24]

WOW! Never thought I’d see the day.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals no longer requires paper copies of electronically filed documents!

"People are, in some cases, just sort of baking in 100-plus-degree cells, living on, you know, sandwiches, and not getting out very often," Blakinger said. "And that's a trying set of conditions, especially if you add in existing mental health issues.” https://t.co/d1P0SnAiYb

Bravo.

Don’t go chasing the answer to that.

@MaryMoriarty Just a bit rich, I'd say. Why do you think defense put "broken" in quotes?

P.S. this is your fangirl from @janijo's FB post.

[Kyle Whitmire @WarOnDumb]

I really don’t understand how this hasn’t become a national story. https://t.co/xHb565aFIS

[Maggie Kiely @mkiely24]

Excellent and critical editorial from @HuntsvilleItem

"Executions cannot and should not take place secret in the United States."

[George Hale @georgehale]

When the government deliberately takes the life of one of its own citizens, the absolute least the public should expect is to know how it's done. The @TDCJ denied every Texan that right tonight. They should be outraged that something like this is even possible.

[Jolie McCullough @jsmccullou]

Having witnessed executions myself, I can’t overstate how important it is for the media to be a part of them.

Officials reports never tell the full picture of what happens when the state wields its greatest power over life.

This transparency is necessary.

[Maggie Kiely @mkiely24]

This is extremely concerning and should disturb you regardless of how you feel about the death penalty or news media.

[Pamela Colloff @pamelacolloff]

I can't overstate how unusual and deeply troubling this is. It demands an immediate investigation.
