Just In: NYC Mayor Eric Adams urges a federal judge to speed up his trial date.
Thank you, @JamesTaylor_com for your selfless act of stepping aside last night at the DNC. We missed hearing you, but it underlined the historic act of selflessness made by @JoeBiden. “You’ve Got a Friend” is more than a beloved song.

Is it too much to ask for a high-level judge to exhibit high-level judgment?

Crucial analysis by Ruth Marcus (I’d love to hear your take @RosenJeffrey ): wapo.st/3VFyVT5
Go for it again today, @PreetBharara. The 10/5/21 Bee actually recognizes an item of Indian food (a method). Cheers
From @RadioFreeTom “The party[‘s] . . . grip on power was defended by propagandists who used rote phrases . . . so often that almost anyone could write an editorial in Pravda or Red Star merely by playing a kind of Soviet version of Mad Libs.”

The Rosa Parks story isn’t a one-off event on a Montgomery bus, but a lifetime of activism.

Hey @Cartalk, I hear the former president still doesn’t have a lawyer. Anybody at Dewey, Cheetham & Howe available? #impeachment #trumpimpeachment #insurrection #HughLouisDewey cnn.com/2021/01/22/politics/…

With so much going on, Dr. King’s leadership is as steadying a force as it’s ever been. I’ve been reflecting a lot on his example, and how it might help us move forward after these last four years. #MLKDay
We must never forget where big lies can lead.

There’s no place I’d rather be right now that at Ebenezer Baptist. There’s no one I’d wish see this moment more than John Lewis. There’s no one who inspired this more than Martin Luther King, Jr.
And there’s no greater heir to it all than Stacy Abrams.

My uncle Troy Duster (grandson of #IdaBWells) founded an institute to support scholars of color. Now UC Berkeley wants to get rid of it. Join the effort to save it. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti… via @sfchronicle

“If you owned a store and someone walked in and started shouting Nazi propaganda or recruiting terrorists near the cash register, would you, as the shop owner, tell all of the other customers you couldn’t possibly intervene?”

18 rallies studied into September likely resulted in 30,000 new cases and 700 deaths; with rallies now more than triple that number, these Marmalade Moron ego strokes likely will have resulted in nearly 100,000 cases and over 2,000 deaths. #coronavirus nytimes.com/2020/10/31/us/po…

RR: “Patti, I’m scared!”

I dreamed a dream they let me moderate the presidential debate. And you were there, @PattiLuPone… #IfDonaldGotFired 🎶

What a useful, brief thread. We should be paying more attention to @BandyXLee1 and the @duty2warn group.
Note that, for developmentally-wounded individuals, democracy is actually threatening. Consider asking 3-year-olds to have self-reliance; it is NOT their idea of liberty, peace, and prosperity.
