34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).

But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

Trying to get away from your family this holiday season? You're not alone. Young coyotes begin to disperse from their families around this time each year. As they venture out, you may be more likely to spot one. Please observe them from a distance and never offer them food.

@AOC For those looking to learn more, this is a good start.

The reason I bring this up is because colonizing powers attacked PR identity in the process of codifying their 2nd-class citizenship.

People joke about how Puerto Ricans are obsessed w/ flying the flag. That’s bc it was illegal & doing so represented resistance to colonialism.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The United States did this to Puerto Ricans, too.

In 1948, the US-appointed PR gov signed a Gag Law making it illegal to fly the Puerto Rican flag, punishable up to 10 years in prison.

It was illegal until 1957. When the law was repealed, the gov changed the PR flag to US blue.

How about we stop praising women as “strong” and “powerhouses” for their ability to sustain constant abuse, workplace toxicity, and overworking to the detriment of their health and social lives?

NEVER refer to anyone as children. They’re little activists.

I am calling for @OversightDems to immediately pursue a full & transparent investigation into today's terrorist acts & those individuals & agencies who enabled them.

Every single Black person, every single brown person, every single queer person I know was worried about THIS in 2016.

Most of us were called crazy or hysterical.

I’m physically ill. The response to this has to be outsized and lasting. This is a nazi white supremacist flag. Waving in place of the American one. None of those people are patriots. None.

I am not sure Americans are seeing today’s events the way the rest of the world are seeing them. This report from well-respected UK news:
