This is a good point. When anti-vaxxers cite their freedoms, constitutional rights, and–the whitest thing of all–the Founding Fathers to rail against vaccine mandates, do they know what they're talking about? What if I told you this happens EXACTLY every 100 years? A thread.

Dwight Jones is coming home! In 2000, Dwight was sentenced to LWOP and expected to die in prison despite the overwhelming evidence of his innocence. Today, Mr. Jones was resentenced to time served. This will mark LPI's 4th LWOP release in 4 years. instagram.com/p/CTVdM1CP_j9/…

I can’t stop watching this! (Guess I need a break from the horror in the timeline today) #SidtheKid #StilltheBest #GoPensGo

A 🧵 on white privilege, and the way it operates on your behalf without you ever even needing to think about it. We travelled to a small family gathering for Christmas; it was about a 13 hour drive. On the way home, our youngest, 2, began to feel sick and then to run a fever.

I need this in my life! (Some great ideas in the responses too)

Wow! Great to see this - and sort of sorry not to be an LA City voter with so much at stake these days.
