I’m outraged. And all of you should be too. I’m also heartbroken that the welfare of children is a political football instead of a litmus test for actual morals. This is how I feel. God bless those poor little indigenous babies. The devils who did this & covered it up are cursed.

After being asked about Critical Race Theory, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley delivers an answer every American should watch.

[Omar Wasow | @[email protected] @owasow]

The way to understand the panic over critical race theory is as a reactionary counter-mobilization. After George Floyd’s murder & ensuing wave of protests, a focus on racism in America took on new urgency. Fearmongering over CRT is largely a project to delegitimize that movement.

@arielagross @profmarylewis @irgarner Love this!

@ArthurCaplan @irgarner @bachyns I guess at the top of the food chain, you see not “intersections” and don’t have to deal with them. Hard disagree with you here.

[Melissa Quintela @profesoraQ]

Will this continue to be ignored? Let’s think back to 1/6, shall we?

Talk of a Myanmar-style coup in the United States has been popular among some Trump supporters and QAnon believers for months.

@jeremyfreese No lies here. This is how “honor codes” work across the board.

Yesterday was not a protest—it was a riot to uphold white supremacy.

So the right thinks companies should be able to deny service to LGBTQ folks in the name of liberty but Twitter can’t deny service to people who encourage violence and fascism in the name of democracy?

[Melissa Quintela @profesoraQ]

@Angry_Staffer @RayMosher5 I think stay anonymous for as long as possible. No need for us to know. Your safety is far more important.

[Tim Wise @timjacobwise]

Those most likely to deny white privilege are the same folks so utterly certain of its existence that they will storm the seat of government in an attempted coup, openly threatening lawmakers, secure in the knowledge they won’t be shot but rather ushered in...
