Robert E. Lee owned 200 slaves (which he famously tortured) then led a rebellion to extend slavery which killed 620,000 people. Saying you're not a racist, you just love Robert E. Lee is like saying you're not an antisemite, you just love Hitler.

Remember when Donald J. Trump had a gun violence listening session and promised to ā€œdo something about this horrible situation that’s going onā€ in America? Well apparently ā€œdo somethingā€ means address the NRA at their convention. What a disgrace.

Based on what’s been confirmed to be true and Trump’s own contradictory lies, that’s like 31 percent believing the earth is flat.

I'm sick of this President badmouthing unions. Labor built the middle class in this country. Minimum wage, overtime pay, the 40-hour week: they exist for all of us because unions fought for those rights. We need a President who honors them and their work.

The Trump Administration tried to prevent women from accessing basic reproductive health information. We fought back. Today, Attorney General Matt Platkin won a nationwide injunction blocking @realdonaldtrump's dangerous gag rule.

This will be met with complete silence not only from almost all Republican elected officials but also most of the right-wing media (National Review, Wall Street Journal editorial page). They too are complicit in the return of white nationalism to the mainstream.

Great thread on how discrimination has been studied in economics. Looks like a fascinating and super interesting PhD thesis by @CleoCZ

Hilary Clinton did not get enough credit from progressives in my opinion for her unequivocal defense of women’s reproductive freedom throughout the 2016 campaign. This was unprecedented and underappreciated. thecut.com/2016/10/hillar…
