@lyft hello I was charged for a ride that I did not take yesterday morning. Will you all get in touch to resolve? The driver I booked evidently took someone else, but it wasn’t me. I have screenshots of my location and messages to the driver. Thank you.

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here.

Good capsule description of what has happened in this space since 2010. (And I live, breathe and teach this subject...) https://t.co/4HC1hnJk1W

OBAMA: “If you want to solve the problem you have to take in the whole truth. Nobody’s hands are clean. All of us are complicit to some degree… Moving forward can’t happen if we’re confining ourselves to outrage.

Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.

The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.

One more photo of the cemetery in Terlingua on Día de los Muertos. You can see all of the graves with the candles lit on them as the sun sets. There was a car with its headlights on behind me, illuminating the foreground.

The nazi National Front (whose leaders have denied the Holocaust and believe the U.K. should not have fought Hitler in WW2) march passed the Cenotaph without a peep of condemnation from our political leaders….

I wanted to share some thoughts on what’s happening right now in Israel and Gaza.

My latest.

There has been a feverish attempt to deny that the conflict between Israel and Palestine has anything to do with European colonialism.

So I went into British archival history and brought back some receipts https://t.co/fxjCjvIBzg

On this day in 1874, a white mob engaged in Election Day violence against Black voters in Eufala, Alabama, to suppress votes and ensure white supremacist victory at the polls. https://t.co/Fakz3hQGN8

We’ve heard with great sadness that Tymbektoden Arara has died, just weeks after giving a powerful speech about his people’s rights at the UN. He was a leader of the recently contacted Arara Indigenous people of #Brazil.

One gauge of the civilian toll in Gaza so far: At least 72 United Nations staffers have been killed in Gaza so far, the UN says. Whatever that is, it's not surgical.

A grave and harrowing crisis is unfolding in the South Hebron Hills, demanding the utmost urgency and gravity. Settlers, masquerading as a military force, have launched a barbaric assault on Susyiah village. 1/

Excellent essay by @ianbremmer

When I tell people children are being slaughtered, and they want to know which children before moving into outrage mode or justification mode - that mentality, that conditional humanity, is exactly the problem.
