Thanks again to the amazing @ThatRabbiCohen for #GrowingGan !!!

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

@ThatRabbiCohen For this large of a group, you’ll definitely want to have pre-built the breakouts and have a producer managing them. There are challenges, but they are manageable.

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

@ThatRabbiCohen And along those lines, you don't have to believe in a supernatural being who intervenes in history to believe in God.

[RRA @ReconRabbis]

Shabbat shalom! Wishing you all at least 25 hours of renewal and joy this weekend. Give your soul a chance to fill up - and then we’ll continue our work to repair the world together.
🕯🕯🍷🥖💕🎶❤️✨🔥

@MarisaElana That's a Walmart, but still. UGH.

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

Wow, it should NOT have taken me as long as it did to figure out what a well-wisher emailed: חמש גח #HappyHolidays #ChagSameach not #ChameshGach! #HebrewFail #HappyHanukkah 😂🤣

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

27 candles ready with about 30 minutes to shkiah! #HappyHanukkah #Hanukkah5781

I just signed up for updates for Netroots Nation: You can too! https://t.co/eMMDBINlx3 @Netroots_Nation #NetrootsNation

A CPA explains the “tax credit” in the $2t package. Thank you, @autumnfading! #CARESAct #StimulusPlan #COVIDー19

[Autumn @autumnfading]

PSA: The relief payment you'll get under the CARES act is NOT taxable income. It's an advance of a new 2020 tax credit. If you qualify for the whole amount, your 2020 tax return will show a credit amount, minus the amount of the check you got. It'll net to zero & have no effect.

@goosenotter @igorvolsky Not to mention anywhere from dozens to hundreds of actual human witnesses in every single precinct. Results would be next to impossible to falsify without literally thousands of people noticing. And lots of them were taking pictures and videos too!

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

Great post on the “Arbiters of Authenticity” and the inevitable outcomes of toeing the essentialist line. Helping me confront the Arbiters in my community (and in my head!)

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

@AlisaValdesRod1 Thanks, Alisa! You’ve helped me recognize the Gatekeepers of Authenticity in my own community. Now if I can just stop defensively comparing myself and my life to their caricature...!

[Rosemary G. Feal @rgfeal]

@DrIbram Huge takeaway: work to change racist policy, not individuals' ideas or feelings. Ignorance and hate derive from racist policy, not the other way around.

They start ‘em young in Northwood! #IAforPete

Now that we have all of the major candidates in the race, who would you vote for in the 2020 Democratic Primary? Retweet this for a bigger sample size and I’ll give you a cookie! 🍪🍪🍪

My to-read list just got a lot longer... #AntiracistBookFest

[Rob O'Dell @robodellaz]

More than a year ago, I was asked to do the impossible. Help build an algorithm that could tease out what statehouse bills were created from model legislation (ie copy-paste legislation). Along with a terrific team @USATODAY and @azcentral. We did it. Here’s how. (THREAD)

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

This is almost precisely my story. #ItGetsBetter Today, I’m married and we have a wonderful baby daughter! It most definitely gets better!

If Pete Buttigieg is the democratic nominee, will you vote for him?

[Damien Aronofsky @musikia]

If I were the President (not something I ever aspire to), I would create the White House Office of History and Context and invite (beg!) @Teri_Kanefield to take the position! Her insights are immense and invaluable in this muddled time. If you’re not following her, you should!!!

(Thread) Getting out of this mess

Some of you feel we’re facing something new in America.👇“It’s never been this bad before,” you say.

I’d like to remind you all about slavery. And Jim Crow.
And women as chattel.

Let’s take a look backwards—then consider how we move forward.
