This Memphis video of the lynching of Tyre Nichols must be awful. Basically everybody who has seen it is like "Please don't riot when you see this like you probably should." I've never seen a reaction like that.

Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20, honours the memory of transgender people whose lives have been lost due to suicide and anti-trans hate. It seeks to raise awareness of the continued violence endured by trans and non-binary people. #TDoR #transgenderdayofremeberance

“We use the word resiliency in so many different ways that its starting to lose its meaning. My question to you local leaders is how do we recover differently, because if we recover the same way as we have in the past, we’re not making any progress” flaglerlive.com/183261/state…

Responding to Zelensky’s remarks tonight, a NATO country diplomat told me: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the missile.” ft.com/content/d417ea8f-62ee…

Ukraine and western allies at odds over missile that exploded in Poland

The Russian missile screw-up that ended up killing two Poles will result in NATO invoking article 4 not article 5 (see below). The consultation will probably result in more support for Ukraine, particularly air and anti-air power. Will give Poland some real influence.

Well, that didn't last long. As our "official" designation vanishes and our @Twitter blue check mark is probably next to go, a quick note on best ways to confirm the identity of government Twitter accounts around you.

To white folks saying, “I’m sorry,” “We suck,” or “Not me.” Your apologies don’t change hearts. Self-flagellation doesn’t bend the arc. Defensiveness doesn’t keep me safe. Get your friends. Get your family. Get your co-workers. Bring them with you. Let action be your words.

According to exit polls, Abrams had MORE support from Black men than Dems had nationwide. In fact, if every single Black male Kemp voter had voted for Abrams instead, she still would’ve lost Turns out, the “Black male voter problem” was a lie It was white voters. It ALWAYS is

If you’re curious about what surveillance capitalism means, about how you’re being watched and how your data can be used, this is a fascinating thread. (It’s just Twitter, you think. A bunch of short messages. Who cares?)

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter. 🧵

Anyway, I guess I should go back to watching a majority of white Americans vote for fascism while getting criticized for pointing out that it's white people doing this over the objection of every nonwhite voting bloc.
