BREAKING: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has granted a full pardon to Daniel Perry, convicted in the death of a Black Lives Matter protester, less than an hour after receiving a recommendation. The pardon frees him from prison and restores his right to own a gun.

Reggie Jackson just reminds me that I need to get serious about talking to Black boomers before it’s too late. That generation is in its final decade or so and then their stories will be gone forever.

Been thinking a lot about Snoop and the response to his comments about Gayle King and something I can’t get over is his total shamelessness in talking to a woman in that way. And the people who should know better but who have been fine with it. Just incredibly disappointing.

imagine how we’d pathologize the adults who came to the defense of a group of black teenagers who menacingly surrounded an elderly man as part of an attempt to intimidate him out of protest.

This is what happens when you believe all of the military vets were white and that the “rights” fought for in these wars were automatically conferred on everyone in the country. Drew Brees, not surprisingly a bad historian.

One way in which I’ve become “woke” in the past 15 years - in the sense of the term before certain folks used it as a way to show their contempt for black people - is I believe cops lie as a rule and not as an exception.

Hey look this sitcom featuring Tracy Morgan and Tiffany Haddish is about a working class family. Surely it will be heralded for its look into a part of American life rarely explored or considered among the coastal elites.

“One in five Black Americans are experiencing poverty for the third generation in a row, compared to just one in a hundred white Americans.” Late to this but this study is a remarkably grim look at the economic mobility of Black Americans.

Today might be one of the best possible cases for prison abolition because, even with some of the highest stakes attached here, the people who functionally run it are either incredibly incompetent or corrupt.

For me, there’s still a lot of value in Twitter and a lot of it is because of threads like this, by people with expertise and with information that I might’ve missed otherwise. I never even thought about the extent of FDR’s disability before today.

After Pearl Harbor, 80% of Americans listened to FDR's "infamy speech" by radio. But people at home did not know that he was gripping the podium to avoid falling down. Today we need to talk about something we rarely mention: America's disabled president. #ADA30 History thread:

New from @me : Police chiefs around the country wanted us to believe they were appalled by the actions of the officers in George Floyd’s death. But by the weekend, their officers made clear they had learned nothing. The police is incapable of change.

The Police Don’t Change

Police chiefs may have condemned the killing of George Floyd, but the actions of their officers since show that nothing’s shifted.
