It's not enough to just send Donald Trump packing, or even just to repair the damage he’s done.
We’ve got to unrig and rebuild the systems that made his rise possible to begin with, and that allowed his administration to hurt so many people in so many ways.

This narrative that black people who want an accurate reflection of history are "angry and resentful" leaves us with one logical takeaway:
White people don't want to know history because they can't handle the truth.
A thread.

Watch this super interesting conversation with the former police chief of Camden, NJ.
In Camden, city leaders dissolved the entire police department in 2012 and fully rebuilt it to focus on community policing.
After this reform:
- murders ⬇️ 70%
- violent crime ⬇️ 46%

i was taught more about how spaghetti strap tank tops were intolerable than racism

I want to talk about the last time the police came to my house, because I think it can help illuminate what dismantling the police and replacing them with a more constructive way of providing public safety means, at least to me. 1/21

I have a lot of conservative friends and family, so I don’t say this lightly: Donald Trump is the single greatest political threat to American freedom that I have seen in my lifetime. He is not Conservativism.

Trying to have a conversation without talking about the pandemic w. @evaandheriud
Nobody else I’d rather quarantine with than @corygodbey! Though since we both work from home and Cory is basically a hermit anyways, this isn’t drastically different than our normal life. 😜

One way to think about social distancing is that to contribute to a great national cause in World War II you had to, like, die face down in the muck on some tiny pacific island, now you can literally stay at home, watch the sopranos or that Netflix dating show and be a hero

Sitting in a busy restaurant, there was a sudden booming noise. Everyone froze and the place went completely silent.
A few long seconds passed, nothing happened and conversation resumed. But in that moment, we all had the same gut reaction. It was unnerving and terrifying.
My eyes went right to the exits. I planned the route I would take if we had to grab the kids and run. I didn’t breathe.
