The only officer disciplined after George Floyd’s murder was not someone who hunted ppl on Lake Street, assaulted Jaleel Stallings after he was handcuffed, targeted press, randomly maced peaceful crowds while driving by, posted on FB about burning down riverside plaza.

Every Congress person gets 12 weeks paid parental leave as a term of their employment. We, the taxpayers, pay for their family leave, but they won’t vote to let us pay for ours.

student loan debt is a particular kind of fucked up debt because you told entire generations of people it was good debt to get a good education for a good job and then you stagnated wages and then you act like the people in debt brought it on themselves and debt isn’t even real

If your brand is predicting doom (I warned everyone that it would be this bad!") then the moment you acknowledge that the Democrats have a victory, you tarnish your brand. So you can't. The Democrats must always be failing. Outrage needs a target. x.com/truthjusticehp… 14/

🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️ Immigration didn't "drop by half." You all elected a guy who put a self-admitted white nationalist in charge of immigration. A man whose bestie coined the term "peaceful ethnic cleansing," and who promised to implement policies to end all non-white immigration.

If a black guy walked into Kenosha from out of town with an assault rifle and killed two people while severely wounding another we would have had a very different verdict.

Bombshell: Trump tested positive for #COVID19 three days before stepping onto the debate stage with Biden, says his former chief of staff. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/d…

Arguably the laziest and most damaging cognitive error of the pandemic is not appreciating that lagged outcomes like deaths don’t reflect current threat in a rising epidemic. Remember: first UK COVID case was identified on 31 Jan 2020 - first death was reported on 5 Mar.

The real question is: why is Grandma’s home often the only property in the family? What factors made it hard for successive generations to achieve what Grandma achieved, despite decades of civil rights bills?

Important: They didn't stop generating the data, just the unique data product with schools in red. The data product was essentially too useful. Too easy to understand. Too clear. Parents looked at the RED schools and freaked out.

Whether schools close or not isn't really my point here... absence of usable data is a form of censorship. With COVID, Americans need to ask: + What are we counting + What are we not counting + Can I find those numbers + Can I use those numbers to make decisions

Hello Susan Wojcicki & TeamYouTube You know why I tag you every time? Because unlike male DIY Youtubers who have 1/3 my followers and started their channels years after me, I have no partner manager. So I have to speak my mind here. Does this look like "adult content" to you?

Kevin joined Google in 2017 as part of GDS, an in-house team for video production. He quickly noticed that almost half of the people in his team were from a small town in northern California, "Oregon House," & that they were members of a cult: the Fellowship of Friends.

1. History is not there for you to like or dislike. 2. History is there for you to learn from it. 3. History offends you? Even better. Then you are less likely to repeat it. Read this out loud, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.

Thread. 22 human beings have died this year in the downtown Houston jail. The jail is so barbaric that it even has fake windows created to look nice to people outside but to trap people inside without sunlight. The story of what is happening there says a lot about our society.

DOJ just released the report from its two-year investigation of the Minneapolis police department. Here's a thread of notable excerpts. This first one happened *while a DOJ investigator was on a ride-along.*
